Reviews of iPhone and iPad apps to create a real website

Top 5 best website builder apps for iPhone

These days the mobile phone is a universal device, working as a substitute for books, sound systems, TV sets, landline phones, ... and computers.

Until recently, creating and maintaining a website was one of the tasks that still required a computer

This is no longer true. Now if you intend to create an online presence, serving as a showcase for your business, hobby, gaming experience, opinion, or faith, you will find a handful of iPhone apps that will do the job.

We have tested 10 website builder apps for iPhone for several hours each

We built a typical presentation website for a small business, and assessed the chances of an average small business owner completing such a task successfully.


Here is our top 5 for 2019

What can a iPhone based website builder can actually do?


A Simple Web Presence

A website is often an online business card you can link to and from your social media profiles: an introduction, a few pictures, contact info, and possibly a map.

A Presentation Website

A website to present a service, explain the organization of an event, build photo galleries, etc. The sites look and feel should be able to support a company logo and graphical charter.

Easy navigation between pages is as important as the content itself. Visitors need to quickly find the information they are looking for, learn something, make a decision, and hopefully get in touch or buy something.

If you need a more complex website, like managing your own user accounts, then you won't find a suitable iPhone app. You most likely need a computer, a fully-fledged website builder and potentially a professional developer to give you a hand.
