yes, free or low-cost because I do not need any specified design or complicated features

I need a website to show some pictures and text only. It serves as an online catalog for my products.

No payment system is needed. As I said nothing complicated is needed.


However, I do not know how to write or edit codes. I hope there is a back panel for admin control, in which I can edit my sites more easily (i.e. add or delete photos or text)


Any? Thanks

If you know basic HTML, CSS and JS, you can use Bootstrap.

If you mean like a webpage "maker"... I am not so sure. I used to use Jimdo.com free accounts years ago. They were pretty good. They had an amazing back panel thing I used...this was when I was 11 however ;)

A lot of companies seem to do website builders when you register a domain with them.

Maybe you can list all your requirements. I can then do some research for you when I have a spare moment :-)
 
IMO Wordpress is one of the best web content management for creating websites. Easy to use and don't need to know how to write any code. Don't get me wrong knowing a bit helps when trying to do more complex things but you said this is not a issue for you. I believe you can create one for free at...

However if you want to be professional then I recommend looking at buying a domain name and hosting and in that case I would recommend going through godaddy...

I would recommend the Basic or Deluxe package.
 
If you buy service from say Stabllehost or any other provider that offers cPanel, then you will have access to a website builder for free.

Yeah before I saw your message I've already compared Jimdo, wix and weebly.

Among those wix has the best editor for me. Jimdo the worst , it's the easiest though.

I've picked weebly already and subscribed to them.

I've already created some pages. Does anyone know if I can download the page from weebly and host it somewhere else?

Better try sites (website builder) which you can make websites with just drag and drop things. Try for to Weelby or Webs for sure you can make your website by only drag and drop things.

hi, thanks for you suggestion. I've already subscribed to business plan weebly. Unfortunately, my site cannot be visited. (I'm in China). Is there any way I can move the site to somewhere else?
 
I think it is depending on how the service works, If those companies servers which are hosting your sites are inside or outside China or if they are outside china and the networking routes do put them directly in china only then you your site may not be able to be seen around the world. If this is not the case and I doubt these websites are that advance to allow you to pick your own server then what I would do especially if I was wanting to strategically place my website would be to spin up a WordPress on a Linux server over at digitalocean.com as you get to specify what country you want your server to exit in.

The reality is if you want control then you will have to learn some system administration and some web development. Knowledge empowers.
