Posted on February 11, 2008 at 6:14 am

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own website without spending most of your time coding HTML, this post is for you. Sometimes, we just want to create a simple website to show the world our ideas, pictures, videos, and more without having to learn tricky things such as HTML programming beforehand. With Roxer, a user can create simple, visually appealing web page by dragging and dropping web contents, without the need of any programming.

How Roxer website maker works

Roxer is probably one of the easiest online tools that you can use to build a website. Roxer provides a simple toolbar that contains web elements such as text box, image, hyperlink and more that you can drag and drop to create a page. In Roxer, the web elements are called “boxes” which you can drag, drop and arrange in any way that you like to achieve your desired web design effect. Absolutely no coding needed!

To start using Roxer, you need to register to get your own Roxer web page, for example: online-tech-tips.roxer.com. To make it simpler for you to create a page, Roxer provides few website templates that clearly reflect its purpose – homepage, pictures, Youtube and blank (create a web page from scratch). Once a template is chosen, you can start making your own web page by dragging and dropping elements on any page.

Roxer features

Before you try Roxer, take a look at sample web pages created by Roxer. Not bad isn’t it? Based on what it offers, I believe that Roxer will be most useful for beginners looking for a quick way to create a simple website – either it is a personal page, photo galleries, Youtube video collection etc. Even it is still in beta, Roxer offers one of the easiest way for you to make your own website without having to bother with any programming.

Thank you for such an extensive review! I especially like the screen shots you took; a great deal of time was spent trying to make everything look new and shiny, so thanks for showing that off.
We’re working on the most basic web page design needs for now, but we’re slowly making Roxer a more appealing choice for professional use. For example, our most recent addition is the ability to use a domain name with your Roxer web page. This way people can run a simple small-business website made entirely with Roxer.

There’s a bunch of new features on the way, so stay tuned. Thanks again!

That’s pretty cool. I like how you can integrate things like google calendar and youtube. I’ve been doing most of my work with Wordpress, but for some purposes, it would be nice to have this kind of flexibility.

Thanks.

Hi…. I am facing a problem. The “Link” icon doesn’t work whenever I start editing my page. Even “Text” icon also doesn’t work. Please help.
