On Internet Business

Building a website quickly without technical skills

Posted by Michael under Business Growth, Online Retail

Every business needs a website, but what if you want to trial a business idea, or need multiple websites for cluster or boutique businesses, and have limited capital and time to put into this aspect of your concept?

Enter Yola (formerly synthasite), Intuit and Subhub – three solutions to the same problem.

What they offer

All three have a similar basic offering: a free service that allows you to bang together an off the shelf website template with your business’s individual details.

As the price rises, the offers become more complex and more tailored. At the interim level, Yola offers extra storage and a customisable domain name and at the premium level, a website designed for you is included along with more storage and space.

Intuit is not available as a .co.uk which is a shame, as its business package is a great deal for retail-based business options. The free package is very similar to Yola but the pay-based options included retail support and payroll: an all-in-one package that must make many .com, .net .org. biz and .info entrepreneurs very happy!

Subhub has a free trial that rises to ‘pro’ and ‘max’ and what’s interesting here is that the difference between these pay-for services is essentially a one-off design fee to create a tailored website for the ‘max’ option – the other service offerings remain pretty much the same.

What they cost

Yola is $49.95 per annum for silver level and $349 for premier.

Subhub is £49.97 per month for pro and then a further £597 for the website design plus a bit more storage for max.

Intuit costs $4.99 per month at the bottom of the scale, rising to almost as much as you are willing to pay, but a fully functioning retail site seems to come in at around $200-300 a year according to many users.
