Website building

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good free website building software? Or a reasonable priced simple to use one. Or the best place to look on the internet.


Cheers

    I'm not sure what sort of website you want to create, but if it's just a simple one for your own personal purposes, the easiest way is probably to write the HTML by hand (using a text editor like Notepad). The site http://www.w3schools.com/ has some excellent, very easy-to-understand tutorials to get you started.
  • this site used to allow you to make free websites and i think it used to be pretty good.

    Googles free online page creator is one of the best out there:

    http://pages.google.com/

    Plus with Google, you know its not going to go anywhere
    [i.e. the company has very little chance of folding, or disappearing and taking your site with it]

    Plus Google is safe, they're not going to rip off your code/content, and they have immense safe-guards against data loss.
    - e.g. with a small company, they may not have backup sites, servers...or even backup some user data.
