Chances are you don’t really know web designing, but you want to create a little website for you – which can act as a landing page or even a resume/portfolio of you.
While there are many website builders available on the web, most of them aren’t simple or free or not quick. Striking.ly wants to change this.
Creating a webpage is really simple – to get started, you need to signup for a free account. After you do that, you’ll be shown around six predesigned templates (which are really neat) for your webpage.
Hit preview to see how the template looks, select it and you’ll be asked for details like page name, URL etc.
You can edit pretty much anything on the template – including text, images, videos etc. Though, you won’t be able to edit the HTML source. You can also do some SEO like adding meta tags, page description etc.
The service is free, but there’s also a Pro version available which will let you access features like custom domain, Google Analytics, more bandwidth storage, etc. The free version will be enough for starters.

@vibin: Nice site! But, very limited templates. You should check http://www.wix.com
It has much more templates and also we can start from scratch. I found the “Start from Scratch” very useful for people who do not know to code, but know how the design of the webpages look.
True, Striking.ly needs more templates. Wix does seem nice, thanks for the tip!
I have tried wix.com, weebly.com and other options and still find Striking.ly the easiest way to build a very good looking site. Although wix.com has more templates, most of them are not mobile friendly. That’s a huge problem for me because 50% of my traffic comes from iphone/andriod devices. Striking.ly nailed the mobile browsing experience!
That’s great, thanks for the feedback.
