Managing Editor
Emily is the Managing Editor at Website Planet.

Since joining the team in 2019, Emily has worked with writers and editors to publish articles on everything from website builders and freelance websites to email marketing software and logo design services.

With a degree in English Language and Linguistics under her belt, Emily started her career in print journalism before making the move to content marketing where she has written, edited, content managed and consulted on countless brands and clients. As a freelancer, she has worked with a fair few digital marketing tools, so it was only ever a matter of time before she decided to share her many thoughts about them at Website Planet.

Her favourite project to date is producing and managing the digital platform at the UN’s Climate Conference COP26. But, watching the Website Planet team and platform grow over the years has to be up there too.

When she’s not weighing up the strengths and weaknesses of the best email marketing software, she spends most of her time thinking, taking photos of, and talking endlessly about her (almost Insta-famous) cats Loki and Odin.

Shopify

Shopify is simply fantastic for any retail-oriented business and loaded with features. The cheapest plan is more than enough to get your online business started. That said, some other e-commerce platforms make it easier to customize your site, at the same price points. It’ll come down to individual features, and which of those you think are better for your business.

IONOS Website Builder

MyWebsite Now from IONOS is a dead-simple site builder with very low prices. If you want to get a website up and running very quickly, it could be just right. It also has a nifty e-commerce feature in case you’re starting an online store. Just be aware that the English version is not available in all countries. If you’re in the right region, it’s worth a glance!

Elementor

Elementor gives you an unmatched level of design freedom for building your WordPress website. Thanks to its feature variety and powerful interface, there’s no limit to the kinds of websites you can create. However, the best features are reserved for the Pro plans, which don’t always justify their price.

STRATO Website Builder

STRATO offers an easy-to-use business-aimed website builder, a smooth user experience, and integrations with the rest of STRATO’s services. It’s still a little scant on features for more ambitious sites, and only available in a handful of regions. If you want to create a professional website quickly, though, STRATO could be just right for you.

Webnode

Webnode has some great features that you won't find elsewhere, including robust support for SEO and multilingual websites. That said, it also has some annoying limitations, and its editor is not the easiest to use. If you don't mind the learning curve, it might be the right choice for you.

Jimdo

At this point in time, Jimdo’s alright. If you’re just starting out, you’ll appreciate its fairly reasonable prices and a simple, user-friendly editor. That said, it’s still missing a few important features (like blogging), and it may not be the best choice if you have more complex site building needs.

There are plenty of free website builders out there, but only a few have the right tools for a travel blog.

10 Best DIY Website Builders: Cheap and Easy To Use in 2026

Most DIY website builders promise the same thing: that they’ll help you build a site quickly without needing to code. But when you actually try them, the problems show up fast. You spend hours setting up a site, only to discover you can’t change the layout, you’re forced into a clunky template, or the “free” plan hides basic features behind pricey upgrades.

Best Vacation Rental Website Builders Ranked in 2026

Every booking you land through Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo costs you up to 25% in commission. Over a busy season, that’s hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars siphoned off the top. It’s revenue you could keep if guests could book you directly. Building your own site addresses the margin problem and allows you to market your rental on your own terms. Guests see a...

10 Best Website Builders With Booking Systems: Our Top Picks

A website without booking tools could be costing you clients. Manual scheduling options are more complicated for potential customers – which could put them off contacting you altogether – and they can also result in missed appointments, double bookings, and set you off on the wrong foot with new customers; no business wants that. But a haphazard system can be worse than no...

8 BEST Construction Project Management Software in 2026

Most construction professionals are probably already familiar with heavyweight tools like Procore and CMiC. But for small or medium-sized construction businesses, their unpredictable (possibly unaffordable) quote-based pricing, headache-inducing onboarding processes, and lack of adaptability could make them more trouble than they’re worth.
