Price comparison of platforms for your academic website


September 14, 2021

This is a price comparison of 5 website building platforms: Owlstown, Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, Wordpress.

I'm comparing these platforms because they all meet the following criteria:
  • You can edit your academic website on a browser.
  • Hosting is included for the free and paid plans.
Each of these platforms have multiple tiers, so I will focus on their free versions and the cheapest paid version.
