Tools for SEO

When you’re dealing with a drop in rankings, it’s critical to know what you got slammed by. This tool will show you that for free.
Tools for website and landing page
14. WordPress
WordPress is free and one of the simplest ways to build a website. They have thousands of plugins, a built-in blog, and a community of committed developers. There’s almost no task that can’t be completed with WordPress.
Use a wordpress.org account with your own hosting instead of wordpress.com. WordPress.com is free but it’s unprofessional and also limits your ability to customize and promote products the way you’d like.

The downside of this simplicity is that there are limited customization options. You don’t have full control of the layout, so you might not be able to create the exact landing page you had in mind.
