Don’t just take our word for it – here’s what people who have used Hostinger Website Builder say about their experience.

I am a newbie and have no coding skills. I have tried Weebly, Shopify and WordPress. Hands down, Hostinger AI web builder is much easier to build, so much cheaper and better value for money.

I’ve had success thus far building a site for my own PT clinic, and it cost a lot less than Shopify. Dare I say, I like it better.

Hostinger Website Builder stands out as a remarkable achievement, considering the challenges faced with WordPress, Shopify and other platforms, such as costly plugins, unreliable backups, and expensive hosting services.
