There is probably many pieces of free software that have been mentioned in multiple threads in the forum, so it would be a good idea to look around at some old posts to see. All website are built with at least HTML! that is number 1. Number 2 i think what you want is WYSIWYG Editor, this inserts all of the code for you without you typing much, you will presumably use some HTML your self to edit the webpage. My suggestion is Toni Arts, i used one of the first version of this years ago and i still have a copy, it is a very neat and compact program for you.

You really should try and learn HTML and as many web languages as possible, to me it is not really a good idea to let programs do the work for you even though there are programs to do it for you like Dreamweaver and so on. Give it a try you will realise how easy it is

Good luck

hey, sunny!

i'd strongly reccommend 4 things to try, although not ncessaarilly in this order.

1.) HTML-Kit (www.chami.com)

2.) check out google for some free web builders. keep in mind, however, that many will include ads and whatnot.

3.) try visiting download.com. you may be able to create the site using one of those programs there and then transfer the HTML coding into astahost

4.) learn HTML! you may be suprised at how easy the basics can be.

zack

Microsoft Frontpage ;D

Hi,

try Netscape Composer! It's still delivered with the Netscape Browser (Netscape Navigator) and it's still very easy to use. Of course, it's not as mighty as Dreamweaver or Frontpage, but it produces a very thin HTML code.

And like the others said, learnig HTML is not too hard and it's fun, you'll see!

I will recommend you a very good HTML editor .
It is NVU ( www.nvu.com).
Originally it was for Linux but now the windows version is also available. It is very easy to use and the html code presented by this is very clean comparing to other editors. If anybody have no money to buy Dreamweaver (which is the best) then NVU is the best option.
Go for it.

You could try Yahoo! SiteBuilder I've used it and the templates are pretty nice. I have'nt uploaded anything so i dont know if it puts ads or something on your page.

All the Best!!

I don't use programs like that much, I more like to just type it all in Notepad so I see what I'm doing. If you don't want to type everything in Notepad, I strongly recommend that you download some of the following WYSIWYG editors.

1. A trial version of DreamWeaver, realy the best, but exspensive.
2. Netscape Composer.
3. A lite version of Frontpage.

And you realy should learn HTML, if you are good in it, you can do more with it, then you can ever do with a WYSIWYG editor. Ok, I agree, it takes much time, but the results will be worth it.

NVU is more compact, easy to learn and clean in my opinion. But at some point you will want more, and Dreamweaver is definately a great choice.

A very good html editor is Coffee Cup HTML Editor. you can get e free vesion that puts a small text at the bottom of the page but you can edit it out with editor or something. its not as exctravangant or anything that you could compare it too dreamweaver or the like but its good and free.
