Well, I’m pleased to announce we’re working on the long-awaited update and would love your help. If you’ve used any of the following tools, email us with your thoughts or post a comment on our original post and let us know how you use it and how it works for you. We plan to include a quote or two from current users in each capsule review.
What tools do we plan to look at?

- SiteKreator
- Webnode
- Weebly
- Yola (used to be Synthasite)
- Squarespace
- Doodlekit

- And, yes, Wordpress as an option, too
We’ll be looking at each platform from the perspective of different types of small business sites and which work best for reaching your customers. Anything you’d like to see us cover? Is your favorite hosting tool missing? Let us know in the comments and we’ll try to add it to the list.
