Create your own website

Give your hobbies and interests a proper home online with the brilliant – and free – Wix. Cat Ellis

Social media is a great way to share your interests with close friends, but if you’re serious about a particular topic – whether it’s photography, cooking, writing, travel or any other pastime – having your own website will make it easier to share them with the world. Creating your own site means you have total control over what’s published and how it looks. Want to start a blog? You can do that. Want to show off high-quality photos in a gallery? No problem. Want to start an online shop? There’s nothing stopping you.

We’ve tried all the most popular site-building tools, and in our opinion Wix is easily the best. It has a huge set of stunning templates, a simple drag-and-drop interface for moving items around, and an ‘ADI’ (Artificial Design Intelligence) tool that makes the process effortless. Best of all, it’s free. Let’s get started.
