Looking for Website Building Software

[darkcyber20]

Looking for some free or low cost website building software for a newbie to be able to build her a complete website from the ground up. I know places that do hosting offer website building software, but most charge a monthly fee for using it. I looking for something simple without a big learning curve (talking complete noob here) that she can pretty easily build a site with.

Suggestion appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't use them, but googling WYSIWYG html editors would be a good start.

Dreamweaver was popular.

I just use HomeSite as a glorified text editor.

Just install Wordpress and then find you a free theme to fit your needs.

I think Kompozer's fairly popular for a free tool...

I would look at concrete5. Its a pretty cool CMS system that is simple and easy to use. As for hosting you will still need a place to host the website.

Before using KompoZer I just want to know how it is different from dreamweaver?

Mozilla Seamonkey has a good web editor.

Mozilla took over the Rev. 4.79 version of Netscape and continued developing it.

Don't know. I don't do web work, but for a couple days, I was prepping to help a friend with a website, and researching tools. KompoZer got a lot of recommendations, and the general vibe I got was that it was a quality tool. I never did use it. My friend got other help, and I lost interest, so I never gave it a chance.

For one, it's free, which is what the OP is looking for.
