Scroll through the list of available blocks and drag the ones you wish to use (Image credit: Mobirise) This makes for a very clean interface which is very nice to use. The tools you need for each specific task appear as you require them. Want a different colour? Select the section and alter it. Want to change a menu’s name? Just highlight it and overwrite it. Not only is it a preview of what you’re creating, but you also have hands on editing control over everything right from there. The interface is incredibly simple to use and understand. If you change your mind, you’ll have to start again from scratch. This is where you have access to only two themes - this one and ‘Mobirise AMP’, but that’s more than enough to get a taste for what’s on offer.ĭo note that you can’t change a site’s theme once you’ve started creating it. Once done, you’re presented with a default website based on the ‘Mobirise 4’ theme, which you’re free to browse through, customise, or just create one of your own from scratch. So, have you ever wanted to make your own website without coding? What tools did you use?

Not just that, you can use Mobirise for free, for personal and commercial use! Mobirise is also working on a newer version of their application, Mobirise 4 ( preview video), which will feature Flexbox support, a new Code Editor, a faster GUI, as well as an API for developers to create themes and extensions for the application. True, there is a paid pack that gives you access to a plethora of paid themes and extensions, but the app and the basic themes are always free. It’s amazing, and it works so well, it’s almost weird that they give it for free. Mobirise is quite simply a great tool to create beautiful, responsive websites without writing a single line of code. If this entire review hasn’t been any indicator of the verdict I’ll be giving, here you go. Overall, the software offers a complete publishing solution for your website, and you can easily preview your website in real time. This will simply save the entire website to a folder of your choosing, and you can push it to your hosting when you get one. If you don’t have a server hosting yet, you should definitely go with the option to publish to a local folder. If everything is fine with your website, you can go ahead and publish it directly from Mobirise! The application offers options to publish to a local folder, or upload to your hosting with FTP. There’s even an option for publishing the website to GitHub Pages! That’s really cool! I actually published my website to GitHub Pages, and you can view it here. One thing I particularly like, is how every option is properly named, and the changes take effect in real-time, so you don’t need to refresh the page or anything to see what changed. You can customise each single block from the “Block Parameters” option that shows up at the top right corner of each block. The button is aptly shaped like a settings cog, and shows all the options you have for that particular block. Basically, anything you may need on your website, you can find in the form of a Mobirise block to literally just drop on to your webpage. You can choose blocks from the broad categories of “Intros”, “Media”, “Pricing Tables”, “Sliding Banners”, “Footers”, and a lot more. There are a number of different types of blocks available, so you can add almost any type of data to your website. Adding pages is easy, and you can easily link between your pages as well. Unless you’re making a single scrollable landing page, you’ll need to add other pages to your website. The most important one being “Pages” – where you can add pages to your website. The side menu has some really useful options.
