Let's face it, every business needs a website these days if it is going to keep up with the competition. While there are many professional web design services available, they naturally come at a cost. A cost-effective alternative is to do your own website design. While there are some fantastic packages available at a price, in this article, we will be comparing web design packages that can be bought for under £50.

The programme is effective but simple and comprises over 400 site templates. In addition, the drag-and-drop functionality is great. On the downside, being unable to add videos in the multimedia section is a limitation, but at this price this can be expected.

Evrsoft First Page Pro

Incorporating macros, customisable hotkeys and plug-ins this package can be converted into an individualised IDE, making it ideal for all types of web projects.
