9 Best Website Builders for Teachers of 2026

Google Sites is the easiest class site to justify because it is already there. Google lists Sites among the apps in Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals, which it provides at no cost, so a teacher at a Google school can open sites.google.com, pick a template and publish. Google describes drag-and-drop editing on an automatic grid that keeps pages readable on phones and tablets, which matters because many parents check on a phone. The strongest feature for teachers is embedding: Google says you can place dynamic content from Workspace apps such as Docs or a shared Calendar on a page, so an assignment list in a Doc or a due-date calendar stays current without republishing. Sharing works like Docs, so a grade-level team can co-edit. The trade-offs are design and communication. Templates and themes are simple, there is no native blog or newsletter, and Google notes that accounts managed by parents cannot use Google Sites to build.

Edublogs is the only builder on this list made specifically for teaching. It runs on WordPress and adds education tools on top: Edublogs lists student and class management, content filters, moderation options and full privacy settings, all on its free plan. Teachers can group students, oversee their posts and leave private feedback on assignments, which turns a class site into a place where students publish as well as read. Edublogs says it hosts over 5 million blogs and that the free plan has no ads and no hidden fees. The free tier caps storage at 256MB with a 30MB file limit, so heavy video use needs Pro. Pro costs $39.95 per year and adds 50GB storage, a custom domain, email subscriptions so parents get new posts by email, search engine indexing and full visitor statistics. The trade-off is the WordPress dashboard, which has more menus than Google Sites. Schools that want every teacher on one network can use the CampusPress offering instead.

Wix is the best fit for teachers who want their site to look designed rather than assembled. Its plans page says you can create a site for free and choose a plan when you are ready, with no credit card required, and the free tier includes hosting, the drag-and-drop editor and thousands of templates. That is enough for a class home page, a supplies list and a contact form. Paid plans add a custom domain and remove Wix branding: Light costs $17 per month on a yearly plan and includes a free domain for 1 year, 2 GB of storage and 2 site collaborators, which lets a co-teacher or aide edit. Core at $29 adds scheduling, useful for booking parent conferences. Wix offers a 14-day money-back guarantee. The trade-offs for teachers are price and focus: there are no student accounts or moderation tools, and the number of options can slow down a quick weekly update compared with Google Sites.

WordPress.com is a good home for teachers who think of their class site as a stream of updates. Posts land on top in date order, so a Monday note to parents and a Friday homework reminder are easy to find. The free plan works, but WordPress.com says free sites display its ads to visitors, which many teachers will want to avoid on a page for children and families. The Personal plan fixes that for US$4 per month billed every 12 months (US$9 month to month) and adds a free domain for one year, 6 GB of storage and unlimited pages, posts, users and visitors, so a whole department can share one site. A guided builder can draft the first version by chatting with AI, with usage limits. The trade-off is that WordPress.com is a general platform: there are no student accounts or moderation tools like Edublogs, and the block editor has more settings to learn than Google Sites.

Carrd builds one-page sites, and for many teachers one page is all a class needs: a short welcome, links to Google Classroom, the syllabus and the supply list, and a way to reach you. You can start on a free account. Pro Lite costs $9 per year (Carrd stresses that it is per year) for 3 sites and removes Carrd branding, adds premium URLs and QR codes, which are handy on a back-to-school handout. Pro Standard at $19 per year adds custom domain URLs, forms, widgets and embeds, so you can put a contact form or an embedded calendar on the page. Carrd offers a 7-day Pro trial with no payment or credit card. Optional analytics can be cookie-free. The limits are built in: everything lives on a single scrolling page, so teachers who want separate pages for each unit or a running blog should choose Google Sites, Edublogs or WordPress.com instead.

Squarespace is the choice for a teacher who cares most about how the site looks, such as an art or photography teacher showing student work or a teacher building a professional portfolio. Squarespace offers designer templates and its Fluid Engine drag-and-drop editor on version 7.1 sites, so a template can be rearranged without code. Every site starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and annual plans include one year of free domain registration. The catch for teachers is cost: Squarespace says it does not offer a free plan, so a class site that runs all school year means a paid subscription from the start. The pricing page showed us prices in another currency, so the USD price is marked pending. There are no classroom features such as student accounts or moderation, so most teachers will get more for less from Google Sites or Wix.

Strikingly sits between Carrd's single page and a full site builder. You can make unlimited free sites, which lets a teacher build one per class or test a layout before paying. The Limited plan costs $8 per month billed yearly and connects a custom domain with a free domain for a year, but caps each site at 5 pages and 1 GB of storage, enough for home, assignments, calendar, about and contact. Pro at $16 per month billed yearly raises the cap to 100 pages per site and adds custom forms, password protection and site memberships, which is the tier to choose if you want class-only pages behind a password. Paid plans include 24/7 chat support. The trade-offs are that the useful privacy features sit on Pro rather than the entry plan, and that Strikingly has no student accounts or moderation tools, so it works as a teacher-run site rather than a class publishing space.

Weebly is a straightforward drag-and-drop builder owned by Square, and its free plan is more useful to teachers than it first looks. The pricing page lists free SSL and third-party embed code on the free tier, so you can paste in a Google Calendar, a Form or a video and build a multi-page class site without paying. Personal costs $13 per month billed annually ($16 month to month) and connects a custom domain, but still shows Square ads. Professional at $15 per month billed annually is the more sensible paid tier for a class: it adds password protection, advanced site stats, a free domain and removes Square ads. Chat and email support are listed on every plan. The weaknesses are that much of the plan comparison is about selling products, which teachers do not need, and that there are no class tools such as student accounts or moderation.

Jimdo is a general website builder whose free plan suits a teacher who wants to try things without a deadline. Jimdo says the Free plan is its trial, with no time limit and no credit card. Every plan, Free included, comes with Companion AI, an assistant that can make changes to the site after you approve them, limited to 25 messages a day on Free, which can help a teacher draft a welcome page or reorganize a menu. Paid plans include your first domain free for the first term, and Jimdo prices per business rather than per seat. Support response times depend on the plan: the first reply can take up to 2 working days on Start, 24 hours on Grow and Complete. The pricing page showed us euros, so the USD price is pending. Jimdo is built mainly for small businesses, so there are no classroom features, and Google Sites or Weebly cover the same free use case with fewer limits for most teachers.
