This directory covers website builders and hosting platforms – the all-in-one SaaS services that let a team design, publish, and host a website without managing servers.
What This Category Covers
Mix (10 tools)
- License: 0 open source · 10 proprietary
- Hosting: 0 self-hosted · 10 SaaS · 0 both
These platforms bundle design, content, and hosting into a single hosted service:
- Visual site building – drag-and-drop or template-driven design, with varying degrees of design freedom versus guardrails
- Managed hosting and CDN – publishing, global delivery, TLS, and scaling handled by the vendor
- Commerce and forms – built-in storefronts, payments, and lead capture on many platforms
- Developer/JAMstack hosting – git-driven build-and-deploy platforms for static sites and front-end frameworks, with serverless functions and edge delivery
The category is entirely commercial SaaS, ranging from consumer and small-business site builders to designer-oriented tools and developer-focused deploy platforms. Teams that want to self-host content instead choose a CMS (see the CMS category) paired with a web server.
