Curious what everyone's using these days — drop your niche below and let us know what you're using! ( i love using Squarespace )
I tend to use AI for all my HTML/CSS/Scripts. ChatGPT to be precise. I haven’t really needed to use a website builder for years. I also use Wordpress if you want to call that a website builder type.
I’ve been using Lovable for simple one-page websites. Their builder is fantastic.
Wordpress on cheap cpanel hosting is still the king for anybody that is into a real webmaster work here. We try as much as possible to reduce the running cost. I still believe that wordpress with basic theme gives you total control over your files and database without breaking the bank.
Squarespace is still one of the cleanest options out there if you want a polished site live in a weekend without babysitting plugins. In my software development niche, since I enjoy full control over performance and markup, I usually skip drag-and-drop builders and ship sites with Next.js, Astro, or plain HTML and Tailwind hosted on GitHub Pages.
However, when a non-technical client needs to edit their own landing pages visually, Framer and Webflow are my favorite recommendations in 2026.
