There’s no arguing with having your own online presence in the form of a website despite being able to use Facebook, Tumblr or even Twitter.

The reason why this is so important is because you now have a website that is completely under your control.

Best part: it’s simple to do this as well.

So, here are 3 services that can help you build a website rather easily:

#1: WordPress.com

By using this service, you can easily reduce the amount of coding that might be necessary to especially if you use it via Automattic. Instead of using WordPress itself, Automattic helps you create a WordPress site by hosting it on their servers.

The first thing that you need to do is pick a theme and then start adding posts. The best part about WordPress is that you can create a landing page that visitors can see before they look at your posts.

#2: Tumblr

Tumblr is a blogging platform that is simple to use and which works for both mobiles and PCs. It’s the best option if you want to use your site for short posts, videos or images. Much like WordPress, Tumblr also offers a number of themes – most of which are free of cost but some which cost a few dollars. The only downside is that it gives you less control over your site than other platforms do.

#3: Pancake.io

Among the three options, this one requires you to know a bit about CSS, HTML and JS. There are two ways you can build a site: either by using Jekyll which is the static site generator or by simply uploading files to Dropbox. Between the two, the latter is the simplest option.
