Nubook – Build a Better Website

Building a website doesn’t have to be hard – at least not for people who use Nubook. The sleek website creation tool gives its users all the tools they need to create customized websites for personal or professional use in just a few simple steps.

Unlike competing web-applications, Nubook doesn’t put a limit on the number of pages, words, or images you can put on the website you’re building. Choose your Nubook URL, enter your name and credit card information, and you’re ready to begin. From the dashboard page, you can click “Add a Page” for each page you’d like to put on your site. Select a unique template for each page, or go with the same template across your whole website. Once you’ve chosen the templates you want to use, you can upload images and begin adding text by typing directly onto the page you’re viewing. Images can be dragged into place and resized or adjusted on the page as well, eliminating the need for any complicated photo editing software or HTML skills.

When your website looks like it’s ready to go, save it as a draft or publish it for the world to see. Nubook will post a link to your new website on your Facebook wall and email it to your online subscribers, if you wish. Every website built with Nubook is viewable on iPads, and users can create their own custom domains, as well. For these reasons, and more, Nubook is an excellent option for small business owners and individuals looking for a low-cost way to create websites in a hurry.
