Hello everyone,
I am working on a software project that when completed I will need a website to put it on.
However, I suck at web design. So I am looking for a free web design program where I can just drag and drop to create my website.

What are some really good one's you guys know of?

Thanks in advance,

if you want drag-and-drop and free, templates are a good start as and suggested, but pair them with a modern builder that lets you publish quickly and keep options open. Also note: the WebMatrix path mentioned was retired; Microsoft ended official support on Nov 1, 2017. (blogs.iis.net)

Solid free options today (with gotchas to know):

  • Wix: You can build and publish for $0 on a wixsite.com address. Connecting your own domain requires a paid upgrade, and you cannot export a Wix site to host elsewhere (SaaS lock-in). (support.wix.com)
  • WordPress.com: Has a free plan with a visual block editor. If you ever outgrow it, you can export your posts and pages at any time for migration, which helps avoid lock-in. (wordpress.com)
  • Webflow: Powerful visual designer with a free Starter plan for learning and prototyping; exporting code is only available on paid Workspace plans. (webflow.com)

Quick workflow you can apply right now:

  1. Pick a clean template and replace all placeholder text/images with your real content.
  2. Run an audit before sharing: in Chrome DevTools, open the Lighthouse panel and generate Accessibility and Performance reports to catch missing alt text, color contrast, and mobile layout issues. (developer.chrome.com)
  3. Publish to the platform’s free subdomain first; connect a custom domain only after the basics look good and you are sure about the platform choice (on Wix this requires an upgrade). (support.wix.com)

If you want pure drag-and-drop with minimal learning curve, start with Wix; if portability matters most, start with WordPress.com; if you want fine-grained visual control, try Webflow.

I always google free web templates, look at a template, then design it off any ideas I get from there.

Yes you are right to use free web design sites online but I think if you want to design your own website, use Dreamweaver with the best features.
