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

HTML-Kit (http://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 astahost4.) 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!GreetingZ

I will recommend you a very good HTML editor . It is NVU ( http://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.

HTML Kit has already been mentioned and you can get it here at this LINK and there is also Anrachnophilia which is also free just do a search for Arachnophilia.

 

HTML kit not only does HTML but CSS, Java, ASP, PHP, Javascript, and more and as you learn more it can grow with plugins to be custom just for your needs.

 

I used Arachnophilia since 1999 but when I found HTML Kit it is all I use, even though I tried Source Edit which is also free, and Coffee Cup had a WYSIWYG and still does I think but leaves a lot to be desired.

 

The reason you should learn just a little about HTML is you can fix any problems that show up with your web site, but if you don't know code then you will forever be posting queries about how to fix bugs in your HTML, and by the way within the next four to five years all code will have to be XHTML, not HTML, and it is not very forgiving, and unless you contantly update your Eidtor, your HTML may cease to work due to new servers all being XHTML compliant, then you will be completely lost. For this reason I would suggest very strongly instead of learning HTML to learn XHTML. There are good tutorials on the W3C and this way you wont develop bad habits about HTML but instead will have learned the newest that the World Wide Web Consortium requires.

To answer the original question having to do with a Web site designer where there is little to no HTML involved-similar to yahoo, I've been reccomending Web Dwarf V2 to a lot of my friends who want to start making websites but have no idea how to write HTML. It's free and very easy to use. Like yahoo, it's WYSIWYG and based of grids aswell as drag and drop. It also has a lot of cool features like rich text editing, linking, picture editor, and spell checker. When you're done designing your site, it can convert everything to HTML and format all objects (like images) to the right paths.

As I stated above you should try to make an effort to learn XHTML if you presently do not know HTML because of problems that can crop up with your site. Unless you have a Webmaster besides yourself to maintain your site then except for expediency a WYSIWYG editor is of little value.If on the other hand all you want is a simple static website with a few links which are local to your own site (for out of your webspace) and do not link to other sites (which can change URLs or disappear altogether) then learning XHTML is a great idea.

Hi friends, Thanks for your help and now i have downloaded NVU program and now i'm looking for free templates.So now where i can download free good templates for my website?Thanks,sunny.

In my opinion, templates won't showcase what you're trying to show, which is you and what you like. I would suggest you start out simple with the layout and how many pages. Start small, and go from there...I have a simple tutorial in the website section that might be of help to you.
