    I agree with a lot of builders on your list. I've used Webflow, Carrd, Wix, and Ucraft in the past.
    My favorites are definitely Webflow, Carrd and Wix. It really depends on the specific usecase. Some smaller personal projects are completely fine on Carrd. If more is needed, I either chose EditorX (Wix) or Webflow. For blogging I normally add BlogHandy to any of those builders since it's easier for my content writers to use than any of the website builder's native blogging features.

    Four top priorities for me...
    Easy-going about content, easy to use, excellent customer service - does such a page/website builder combined with hosting even exist?
    Priority II...
    A servers in USA as well as in Asia, monthly subscription to test; any price within reason (under $45 USD per month). Free can be and usually is very expensive, i.e. poor value
    What website builder is similar to Google in terms of simplicity of use (my designated feature needs are very minimal), easiness to migration out if I get serious and get someone to build me a website which I transfer to a Managed Word Press host, and *customer service*.
    Here are my comparitive experience so far...
    1. Blogger/Blogspot (2007): very easy to us (could learn by playing with it), good enough. But Google has some very strict, and apparently not universally applied content restrictions. I need a service that is 'as long as you aren't breaking the law of our jurisdiction (including no copyright infringement), and attracted DoS attacks, we truly don't care what you write'. Google took down both my blogs. I seek a very robust First-Amendment web host, because it'[s no longer neo-nazi and porn sites that get closed by Big Tech. F Can't write about this, can't write about that. I find it way too 'woke', and I am not even conservative. My values are basically those of the 1970s and 1980s.
    2. Squarespace (2023): Did not like it, too complicated visually and the customer service I did not test. Moderate-priced - I did not continue beyond the trial because it appeared to be too image-oriented. I want something that helps create something more like a magazine for serious readers.
    3. Visual Composer (current) on a Managed Word press web host: excellent tech support but waaaay too complicated. Moderately-priced but too many features and the interface tis beginner finds visually confusing and therefore distracting
    So, where is the 'sweet spot'?

    The Weebly builder is so much better than Square and they've basically stopped supporting the original Weebly users. Oh, and they *say* there's phone support but there really isn't anymore. Good luck trying to get to your webpage editor, everything is focused on payments to the detriment of actual web building. I'm watching this video to help choose a new platform. Don't waste your time and Square. And before you say, "but the card dongle and POS system makes everything so easy, all in one place"... Watch reviews on their business practices. They've taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from small businesses.
