Web design software

I am a free minimal fuss web design software, used one about 15 years ago so I guess things would have changed a bit now. Looking to do a small online business project, maybe one or two pages at most. Thanks

Isn't there a dreamweaver trial version knocking about? 30 days should be enough for 2 pages

Browntoa

or NVU is free

I use Noomle.com actually, it is free for people to use unless you choose to contribute a small amount of $5 every two months and though it does not give the prettiest of results it is a way of at least getting something online if you have no hosting, which tends to be by far the biggest cost associated with a small site.

You tend to have a limit of 30gb per month but your plan costs $10/mo yet you only use 2% of it? Where is the efficiency in that? lol

Start using Noomle, here is an example of what can be done with it

If you strictly want a web design editor I would go with kompozer, it is free and you are not stuck with a 30 day trial, which is all very well with dreamweaver but that is like trying to crack a peppercorn with a demolition ball, it is way too much overkill and too powerful to learn in a short space of time to make it worthwhile.

Wordpress. Easy to use and install.

Things have shifted in 15yrs, of course! More and more sites are actually based on CMS with templates - try http://www.drupalgardens.com/ for instance.

I can imagine things have moved on in 15 years! I think the last program I used was called Adobe Live or something like that. Will look at some of those suggestions. Thanks

I agree with some of the comments above. Kompozer is excellent
