There seems to be new website building tools appearing all over the internet these days. Some of them allow you to create your own blog, while others allow you to quickly and easily create a business website or shopping site with only a few clicks of your mouse. Many of these website builders are quite cheap to use or even free and pretty much all of them require little or no technical knowledge. Flavors.me is a free personal homepage builder that pulls all your online presences into one place. Here are some of the reasons why it caught my eye.
Sometimes the simple things in life are the best and Flavors.me is no exception. Created by the guys at HiiDef Inc this simple and elegant homepage builder allows you to create your own personal splash page and aggregate all of your other online profiles including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Flickr into one stylish website.
Signing up for your own homepage is free and it only takes a few minutes to setup a great looking website. You basically just need to link your homepage to your other online presences through a quick and simple interface. Here are some great looking existing sites created using Flavors.me.
You can see more great personal homepage websites in the Flavors.me Directory.
As you can see, the website templates are quite limited and do strongly rely on the background image used. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it ensures a simple design and also allows you to put your own personal touch on your homepage by using an image that’s special to you. You can also customise the colour scheme and fonts used on your homepage.
If you are looking to use your own domain name then you will need to upgrade to the premium account. No need to get alarmed, it’s only $20/year to upgrade and this will also give you access to real time stats and allow you to add a contact form to your website.
So if you want to create your own personal homepage and pull all your online presences into one place, Flavors.me could be worth a look. You can check out more details at the Flavors.me website.

I spent a happy 15 minutes or so making up MY home page using flavors.me only to lose all that I did after I had done the profile part and was starting the next parts – it was more than likely my fault, when everything disappeared.
I will try again at a future date. Be seeing you, I hope.
@Jack – No worries mate, Nice work! 🙂
@Walter – Give it another shot. It worked fine for me.
