But it doesn\u2019t have to be. There are many tools that enable even the least tech-savvy among us to build solid websites without requiring any coding. In this article, we\u2019ll introduce you to the following\u00a0tools \u2013 The Bluehost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wondersuite\">Website Builder<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wordpress\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress<\/a> themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bluehost-website-builder\">The Bluehost Website Builder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluehost Website Builder is designed with beginners in mind. It doesn\u2019t matter what kind of site you want to make. Whether it\u2019s a portfolio, a personal site, or a site for your local business, the Bluehost Website Builder has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting started with the Builder is easy and time-saving. To begin, you\u2019ll need to choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/websites#plan-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the Bluehost plans<\/a>. Once you are subscribed to a plan, Bluehost will automatically install WordPress and enable the Bluehost Website Builder on your site. Then all you\u2019ll need to do is log in to your Bluehost portal and start building!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of using the Bluehost Website Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-advantages-of-using-the-bluehost-website-builder\">The advantages of using the Bluehost Website Builder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ease-of-use\">Ease of use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can breathe a sigh of relief because the Bluehost Website Builder does not require any coding or graphic design skills. So, how do you build a site then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight out of the box, the Builder comes powered with over 300 templates for you to choose from. You can find a template based on the type of site you have \u2013 for your organization, a blog, a small business website, an educational website \u2013 there are plenty of options. The best thing is that the Builder can decide which template is suitable for you. All you have to do is answer a few questions about your site, and give it the input it needs\u00a0to generate a base website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhmultisite.com\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/bh_site_type-1024x604.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38239\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can also use the pre-made templates for your pages. You\u2019ll find templates for your home page, contact and about me pages, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of those templates is that they come pre-filled with content. Someone already did the hard work and arranged all the elements where they should be. All you\u2019ll need to do is insert your content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plenty-of-options-to-let-your-brand-shine\">Plenty of options to let your brand shine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Having\u00a0templates doesn\u2019t mean that you won\u2019t be able to bring your personal touch to your site. The Builder contains a customizer, which lets you change the page\u2019s layouts, fonts, and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorting and editing the site works by simply picking and dropping elements to where you want them to be. You can also use the library of stock photos, or upload unlimited images, video, or audio files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhmultisite.com\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/builder_editor-1024x584.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38242\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seamless-integration-with-the-wordpress-editor\">Seamless integration with the WordPress editor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluehost Website Builder works excellently with WordPress. So, while you can take care of your site\u2019s appearance with the Builder, you can also take full advantage of the WordPress editor for writing and creating your content. Importantly, you can switch back and forth between using the Builder and WordPress editor without breaking your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-any-disadvantages\">Are there any disadvantages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluehost Website Builder comes with plenty of customization options. But, if you have some technical skills,\u00a0perhaps you\u2019d like to have more granular control of the appearance of your site. You may want to truly customize it with options beyond those available in the Builder. So, what can you do? Well, you can use themes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-using-wordpress-themes\">Using WordPress Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Themes in WordPress handle the appearance of your site. They come in all shapes and sizes, and there are many to choose from. So, let\u2019s take a deeper look at what they can offer you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-advantages-of-using-themes\">The advantages of using themes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plenty-of-options\">Plenty of options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thousands of free and premium WordPress themes out there. It&#8217;s a dizzying array of choices! Need help choosing a theme? Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-wordpress-theme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extensive article with useful tips on what to look for in a theme<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-endless-customization\">Endless customization<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some themes come with templates and demos, i.e., pre-made sites that you can adjust to your needs. But they also have a lot of customization options. You can play around with the style, colors, layout, typography, and much more. Themes are also incredibly flexible for people who know coding. You can turn a regular theme into a fully customized branded site\u00a0with some CSS and HTML skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-disadvanges\">What are the disadvanges?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While your coding and graphic design skills can get you far, the themes learning curve may be too steep for a beginner. In addition, to unlock the full potential of some themes, you may need to use plugins. The more plugins you add to your site, the bigger the chance they will slow your site down, or cause other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-using-bluehost-website-builder-together-with-a-theme\">Using Bluehost Website Builder together with a theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you may be wondering, can\u2019t I have the best of both worlds and use Bluehost Website Builder together with a theme? Technically, you could. Although, generally, we advise against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to use a theme with the Builder, some functionalities of the Builder will be limited or turned off. Furthermore, you will only be able to edit\u00a0certain parts of the site with the theme, for instance, the header and the footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The elements you\u2019ve built with the Builder will only be customizable in the Builder itself. And the other way around. The edits you make to the theme, outside of the header and the footer, will only be editable in the theme customizer. That may cause you some headaches, and for that reason, we recommend you use either the Builder or a theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you do want to use a theme other than the default Bluehost theme, here are some that we\u2019ve tested, and ensured they work well with the Builder without causing any bugs. This is useful in several situations. For example, you can use the Builder to build a base for your website. Later on, you may want to use a theme with its customization capability to further design or add features to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-astra\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpastra.com\/\">Astra<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 1 million users and a rating of 4.9\/5 stars, we can safely say that the Astra theme is trusted and loved by WordPress users. It is considered to be one of the fastest themes. Moreover, it is easy to use and comes with SEO-friendly features. It is also fully responsive so design will work well across different devices.\u00a0 Finally, you can access a huge library of templates if you install a specialized plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme has a free and a Pro version. So, while the excellent performance is available in the free version, you&#8217;d probably need to upgrade to Pro to get the most out of it. For instance, the features that extend the possibilities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wordpress\/woocommerce-hosting\">WooCommerce<\/a> are only available with a paid plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ocean-wp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oceanwp.org\/\">Ocean WP<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another popular, highly rated freemium theme. Satisfied users praise it\u00a0for its speed and ease of use, especially for beginners. It also comes with templates that you can easily edit according to\u00a0your needs. The features offered in the free version are already solid enough. But, of course, if you want to get more from it, you will probably need to upgrade to a paid version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neve\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/themes\/neve\/\">Neve<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the other themes listed above, Neve is also fast, user-friendly and it comes with around 80 demos that you can use as templates for your site. However, the customization options may be limited in the free version. So, if you\u2019ve taken the free version for a spin and you liked what it had to offer, you might need to subscribe to one of their paid plans to take full advantage of the customization options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-generate-press\"><a href=\"https:\/\/generatepress.com\/\">Generate Press<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generate press has been part of the WordPress world for around five years and managed to earn itself a rating of five stars! It\u2019s a highly customizable theme that can be well suited for any type of website. It also comes with SEO-friendly features.\u00a0This theme also has a Premium version, with even more customization options and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hestia\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/themes\/hestia\/\">Hestia<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another one in the line of popular themes is Hestia. Besides all the features already mentioned, such as speed and responsiveness, this theme is solid for making single-page websites. Those are the websites that have all their content on a single page. Again, to get more, you\u2019ll need the\u00a0premium version of this theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wordpress-core-themes-nineteen-twenty-twenty-twenty-one\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/author\/wordpressdotorg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress core themes<\/a> (Nineteen, Twenty, Twenty Twenty-One)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are overwhelmed by the choice, and on a tight budget, perhaps a good way to start exploring themes is to use one of the WordPress\u2019s official themes. For one, WordPress themes are always completely free. Secondly, they are diligently made by a huge group of developers from all over the world, so you can rest assured of their quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpthemes-1024x815.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpthemes-1024x815.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpthemes-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpthemes-768x611.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we explored the pros and cons of using the Bluehost Website Builder vs using a theme. If you are a beginner and have no coding or design skills, the Bluehost Website Builder is a solid choice. Its ease of use and its pre-filled templates will make creating a site a breeze. At the same time, it allows you plenty of options to customize your site, so you can still put your unique stamp on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you want some more customization and you have some HTML or CSS skills, themes may be a more suitable option for you. However, in general, we recommend you use either themes or the Builder. By doing that, you\u2019ll ensure you are taking full advantage of the features each of them offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a website can sound scary if you don\u2019t have technical or design skills.
