I advise that you try a free website builder - uCoz. It is like blogger but more powerful - it has a forum, email forms, user management and many other modules for a website. It even has online games module. There is the possibility to edit HTML and CSS.

LOVE weebly, speaklight also. Anyone find any other similar sites to those two?
I think many biz and hobbiests would benefit from similar services.

Great article, thanks!

I try out the weebly, very innovative way to create website. Just like you said, easy. Definitely the web2.0 way to create blog and website.

I will try out other and see what kind of surprise they give me.

Yes, an online CMS lets you access your website from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. The services described above provide hosting services along with the option to modify any aspect of your website.

Most CMS’s are online anyway like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal as they all let you log in from any computer and modify your site. Just that you will have to set up your own hosting for them.

Hope that clears it up.

What exactly is the difference between a CMS and an online CMS? Is online CMS something like a hosted CMS?

Yes, Creataplace is new on the scene... We're not a generic CMS like the other sites. We target a specific market of design professionals who typically have a portfolio of work and who aren’t very technical. We don't cram Creataplace with features because our goal is to keep it as simple to use as possible. It is intended for users who want good looking portfolio sites without any inkling of complexity. While it's not feature-rich, it is very easy to use. Sadly, you “didn’t bother signing up with them to test it out.”

Thanks for including Tweak in your review, Ali! You are correct that Tweak is more for corporate use than for blogging. With tools like Wordpress around it doesn’t make sense to pay for a CMS like Tweak, which is more focused on providing enterprise-type features for larger sites.

Also, although the Tweak website is fairly new, the CMS has actually been in use for about 4 years now (Medtronic, for example, has been using it for some of their sites since summer of 2003).

Anyway, thanks again for the review Ali!

After reading this I thought I would leave a note about a tool and client of mine that might help people think about their communications and be useful to your readers.

This might be helpful for you guys. A client of mine has a new free email program with self-destructing email, email you can’t print or forward and free video email. Check out:

http://www.BigString.com

It is a new free webmail program. When you send mail from your BigString account, you are protected. BigString is like an automatic shredder for your email. You can self-destruct or change an email that’s already been sent or read.

Ever send that email to your boss at 2AM ranting, or a picture of your girlfriend to your mom by mistake, just have one of those “DOH” moments you wish you could bring it back, try this tool!

Have a great day!

Thanks for letting me know about them. I’ll look into them. I’ve only concentrated on some of the newer services that have cropped up for now.

What do you think about Web.com? It basically fits your criteria too.
