I grabbed the original WordPress plugin deal many years ago and that came with a couple of cloud sites, so I've experimented with them as the platform has developed. They've done a fantastic job, it's my favourite website builder in terms of ease of use.

I've done a video walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZV3rWaHxGk

The big new feature recently released is the AI builder (which I use in the video so you can see it in action). It does a better job compared to other AI builders I've used.

There are lots of templates and blocks included, this is one area that has been slow to evolve in the years I've been using it and it'd be nice to see a fresh wave of templates and blocks in the coming years.

This deal gives you access to the cloud platform, that means you can design and host the website under the same deal. You'll just need to purchase a custom domain and (if required) email hosting.

If you don't want to mess around with WordPress this is a fantastic alternative for simple websites that look great.
