What is Mobirise?
Mobirise is a downloadable website builder for Windows and Mac that produces sites without hand coding. Pages are assembled by dragging ready-made blocks, such as menus, galleries, sliders and contact forms, and then editing the text and media directly in place. An AI option generates a complete starting site from a text prompt written in any language. Because the work is stored locally, the finished site can be published to your own hosting, to a free mobirisesite.com subdomain or to a custom domain, or simply saved to a folder. Templates are built on Bootstrap 5 and are mobile-friendly by default. Extensions add a shopping cart with PayPal and Stripe, social feeds, a popup builder and a code editor for HTML and CSS. The software is free for personal and commercial use, with premium themes sold separately.
