My friend wants to have a web site

There are scripts and templates which make it cheap and easy to make a site.

Does your friend have a domain?

What kind of site do they want? What sort of content will it have?
 
Topic Title: My friend wants to have a web site
Topic Summary: but doesn't want to learn HTML

There are many people like that and personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
 
Google just came out with a tool to design a page, although the functionallity is limited.

Also there is frontpage and dreamweaver if he wants to play around a little bit without looking at raw coding.

I thought of this at first also, but everytime I look at Google pages, I see this:

TallBill,

Is there something about that free html builder that you object to?

I don't understand your disparagement, TallBill, in saying, "You've got to be kidding me," nor your remark, "This isn't 1997 anymore." I guess you were suffering a bad moment when you tossed that off, or just neffing.

The fact is that page builder will be a very helpful learning device for a fresh beginner.
He can enter what he likes into its fields, then look at the resulting html code. It'll help him down the learning curve faster.

Maybe you're a super-coding expert, TallBill, but let's remember that he asked for help to begin, i.e.; a b c.

We're not talking Ruby or Perl or PHP integration with MySQL or something else that might be included at a more advanced stage. He asked for help to learn elementary html.

So, TallBill, your put down remark, "This isn't 1997 anymore" is nonsensical, bordering on hostile and arrogant, and might deter him from harvesting the value freely available at that very helpful site, which is precisely written as help for beginners.

TallBill, have you hung out in many British pubs? I have, especially around Birmingham & Wolverhampton.
ATOT is "A public meeting place, a Pub, if you will... "
People trade info & opinions in a friendly way.

So let's keep that in mind, TallBill, & if you or I can help somebody here who requests it, let's try in a positive way to help them.

And, TallBill, since you tore down the value of that excellent free beginners-level site I had suggested, what do you recommend for him that you find superior to it?

I'm 6'4", how tall are you, TallBill?

To eilute
I again recommend you play with the free html builder here.

Then look at ther resulting html code, together with an html reference such as a book or off the web, to learn how it works. html is easy. scott

I think you put way too much effort in that response.
