Flavors.me Review & Rating

When it comes down to the basics, Flavors.me is like most of its competition—it's there to facilitate a landing page with a big beautiful background image and links to go with—but it has more options to go along with the simplicity, so you can get as complicated as you want as you build your online destination. Plus, even if you pay, it won't hurt your wallet too badly. Flavors.me comes in two flavors. The free version offers seven layouts and gathers content from up to five services.

Skrawlr Review & Rating

It's meant to convey your personal style with one big background image and your personal life with text and links that float above that background. It's utterly devoid of extras or personalization, so it's not for those with a need for control. However, there's something to be said for setting up an entire personal Webpage in seconds, which Skrawlr delivers. You can set up an account by filling in the form on the Skrawlr home page. Skrawlr's control panel floats on the page, and it asks for some personal data and usernames for your social networks (Flicker, Picasa, YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, and Formspring are the only services that are supported—no Facebook). The text box will show your "about you" data, and the links appear above it, all justified to the right. About.me Creating an online web presence has never been easier. About.me Review & Rating. AOL's online profile service, About.me (free), is practically the old man of personal Webpage sites, having launched way back in 2009.

About.me Review & Rating

(AOL scooped it up in 2010.) The About.me homepage welcomes you with a display at the bottom of featured landing pages, so you can get an idea of what an About.me page will look like. The emphasis, as with Flavors.me (Free, 4.5 stars), is on a big photo as the background with accompanying links. About.me delivers big on that score, and entirely for free. Sadly it lacks some of the landing page features that would make it the leader while stressing unneeded social components.

Getting StartedOnce you create an account (using your e-mail address, password, and picking an About.me URL), future sign-ins can be done via Facebook or Twitter. Going MobileAn About.me page looks good on a smartphone, where the page is reformatted to have the background graphic at the top and the text box info underneath.
