Free / mega cheap website building software anyone?

uropachild

I have a domain name and i think i can get hosting, but i need some software to build my website with. Does anyone know of anything that's free or really cheap?

I tried googling, but of course any time you type "free" it's a bloomin minefield!

Thanks in advance!

Choose WebPlus SE for the free edition.

If you like, you can upgrade to a much better version (X2) for relatively little. Then, in time, you could upgrade to the latest (and best) version (X4) for about £50-60.

It's no Dreamweaver, but it does the job.

Plenty of tutorials out there and very easy once you get in to the swing of it

I would recommend http://www.coffeecup.com/ - good range of products cheap and pretty easy to use. I use their flash product, juke box and have used their HTML software (although I hand code my html) & they can help with getting submissions to Google. Not the absolute cheapest on the market but you get what you pay for!

NVU is discontinued.

Coffee cup seems the best supported currently.

Just as a general rule, if i need any "free" software, i normally find references from www.osalt.com

Who are signed up with? It's possible they have their own online site builders.

Thanks so much for all the help! My domain is registered with fasthosts. We use them at work, so i just did it that way. At work we actually sell template websites, but they're geared for business and mine is a personal site, so they're no good for me.

Fasthosts may have something i can use... I was going to use them for hosting anyway. To be honest it just didn't occur to me that they may have a web builder too. Duh!

I'll take a moment at the weekend to sit with a cup of tea and some biscuits and browse through those links.

DOWNLOAD NVU

Nvu is a dead project, it hasn't been updated for ages.

The new version is Kompozer:

Have to say I think with web sites you pretty much get what you pay for. I have found the free stuff usually ends up looking like it's free.

I suppose it depends what you want a web site for but if it's for a business I would advise not using free stuff. I know that may not be the right comment to be making here but sadly it's mostly true.
