What are the best platforms for web building and design?

[Adelsten]

Guys I need your recommendations please. I want to start my own blog about movies and I'm going to make it with my own hands so I need special tools for this. I saw that there are so many of them that I really don't know which ones is better to choose... What can you recommend me?

Just use WordPress. It's usually the best one for such beginners as you, is considered as a very simple platform and it's also the most popular one among free ones for web building You'll get a subdomain with it, enough functions and types of designs to choose, plugins and extensions. It's very convinient for working with templates too which provide you pre-made types of design which can be easily modified even by a total newbie and movie wordpress theme https://www.templatemonster.com/category/movie-wordpress-themes/ is one of the most popular for example. Besides considering how this platform is popular, there are so many helpful tutorials about using it and also you can get help rather fast in the special community.
As free ones I can recommend you Blogger, Tumblr, Medium and Ghost. Wix and Weebly are nice platfroms too but they're non-free however very cheap at the same time ($12-18 per month).
