Hi,
I have created websites not only from the above mentioned websites;however I have created the websites from other companies as well. Recently I got redirected to Webstarttoday while I was reading an article. They also offer free websites and they have a huge collection of beautiful designs as it said in that article and after visiting http://www.webstarttoday.com I really found that website pretty interesting I terms of user friendliness and the designs. The collection of the designs that Webstarttoday has it's really amazing and it's free for an year. It's amazing. Must try once.
Thans Kunal for sharing the link.
I also think http://www.webstarttoday.com have many beautiful designs & website builder is very user friendly.
These are great tools for websites, but if you need a mobile website there are not a ton of great options. The best we’ve found have been http://SproutMobi.com and Mofuse.com
