Our Verdict

If you want to create a professional website without professional help, then Site123 is a great choice. This economical and efficient web builder allows you to get started with its free version. If you need the extra features then it’s no problem to commit to the paid plan where features run freely. Site123 is a breeze to use, so much so that anyone could have an operating website in a matter of minutes.

Pros

Ecommerce

Cons

A lack of features compared to the competitors.

Products & Pricing

You can change the plan period to 3 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months, or 120 months. The longer the plan period you select, the cheaper the plan turns out to be for you.

Site123 also offers a free version. Their product includes hosting and the web editor with all its tools. If you want to connect a custom domain then you will be charged as low as $10.8 per month (annual plan, paid up front).

In terms of plan pricing, their website doesn’t state the pricing of their four different plans, but it does state that they have a free version (which includes 250 MB storage and bandwidth along with a subdomain) and a Premium one for $12.80 per month. The paid version offers a free domain for one year, 3GB storage and bandwidth, connects your domain, and has a store.

When looking at their website, the pricing feels a little confusing and isn’t as transparent as it could be.

We have several domains. Does your site allow for this? If so is there an extra cost to use more than one domain? Do you have themes for Trucking companies?
