As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, several WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) webpage making platforms were known for their user-friendly interfaces. Keep in mind that the landscape may have changed since then, so it's a good idea to check the latest reviews and features. Here are some platforms that were considered user-friendly for creating webpages:

1. **Wix:**
- Wix is known for its drag-and-drop editor and a wide range of templates.
- It's suitable for both beginners and those with some web design experience.

2. **Weebly:**
- Weebly is another easy-to-use platform with a simple drag-and-drop interface.
- It offers various themes and e-commerce features for online stores.

3. **Squarespace:**
- Squarespace is known for its visually appealing templates and a clean design.
- It's a good choice for artists, photographers, and creative professionals.

4. **WordPress.com:**
- WordPress.com offers a user-friendly platform for creating websites without the need for hosting.
- It has a variety of themes and plugins, making it customizable.

5. **Shopify:**
- While Shopify is primarily an e-commerce platform, it's user-friendly for building online stores.
- It provides a range of templates and tools for selling products.

6. **Webflow:**
- Webflow is more advanced but still user-friendly, allowing for greater design control.
- It's suitable for both simple and complex websites.

7. **Elementor (WordPress Plugin):**
- If you're using WordPress, Elementor is a popular drag-and-drop page builder plugin.
- It provides a live editing experience and a variety of widgets.

Remember that the ease of use may vary depending on your specific needs and the complexity of the website you want to create. Additionally, new platforms may have emerged since my last update, so it's advisable to explore recent reviews and user feedback before making a decision.

Unfortunately my Team and I specialise in enterprise development, rather than web sites. The de facto standard for web page development is indeed Wordpress. The basic system is extensible via plugins, which allow every permissible function imaginable, from ecommerce to image processing to AI text generation.

If it can be of any help, my company website uses Wordpress and the Divi plugin.

Shopify is used a lot to build portals that offer a marketplace, with complex catalogues, cart management and e-payment options.

Do you have any input on this topic, @kangarunner ?
I use WordPress but there's other options. Only thing is Google ranks fast loading sites and mobile optimized sites higher in search results. Not sure why you're asking a worthless idiot like myself when you could ask the true, legitimate professionals in the field such as @fschmidt and @publicduende.
Google search results have been crap for several years now-- a page of ads and pages someone optimized to show up even when they aren't that relevant to your search. Site search doesn't do much now, even if you give a lot of details. I've switched to having Bing copilot search for me most of the time. Are other people just using AI searches? I anticipate that will grow. Google has an AI bot that is slower than the search to show up, and sometimes gives false information probably by the AI drawing conclusions without enough detail.

We develop software for enterprises: mobile and web apps, back-ends, etc. We try to go for an end-to-end platform, if possible.

That was an advantage of Ontraport. A customer clicks on this button, and if they gave permissions, then they could get a series of emails, sent out starting next week. If the customer clicks here, they get other emails starting today, then every month. A mobile and web app version of a page could be made, and there was a dashboard approach to seeing how everything worked. But it was too expensive. I wasn't going to have time for it. And if I decided I didn't like it, the work on it wasn't portable, like if I wanted to switch to WordPress for a cheaper version.

I might have missed a post, but I didn't see Click Funnels. The people I was working with on Ontraport had tried that. I clicked around in it and couldn't get it to work, and they said it was hard to get ahold of anyone to help. If you contacted Ontraport during their work hours, which they were expanding, someone was right there on chat to help you do it. This was several years ago.

If I were making thousands a month with online promotions, I probably wouldn't mind the $150 or so a month they charged, especially with the integrated mail, etc.

You can do that with Mailchimp and any other email marketing platforms. But first you have to somehow harvest other people's emails via subscriptions from your blogs or youtube videos.

Well, thanks everyone for giving me some ideas.
My priorities are these:
1) Cost
2) Quick and easy to use (I have very slow, unreliable internet)
3) Beauty

When it comes to building websites, platforms like Wordpress and Wix offer user-friendly options for those looking to create a personal or small business website. However, if you require a professional website for your business, it's often best to enlist the help of a professional web developer or agency. Have a look at webimax reviews , those guys might be able to help you.
