Free Site builders

[DaveP]

Hi,

A friend also a potential customer has asked if I would create a website for his company.

Nothing to complex, so as I am not a website designer by trade. I was thinking of using a hosting company for the domain name that also offers a decent free site builder as part the hosting package.

From my experience they can be fairly limiting in the choices available etc. So
I am asking here in the forum for recommendations please of decent site builders
free or as part of a hosting package.

Thanks

its not quite free, but have a look at Mr Site, seems very easy to use.

I'm sure others will be along to give a bit more guidance.

Try visual web developer ....

Hi,

I suggest you try microsoft visual web developer 2008 express edition. Unusually for a Microsoft product, it's free. I've been using it for a while, and it's just as good as Dreamweaver CS3, and probably easier to use.

£20 a template?!


I use Rapidweaver comes with hundreds of templates from a community of people who develop them. I was publishing my site in the some morning I started using it.

I'll think I'll have a look at that, are there any product dependencies ?

Damn it with faint praise, why don't you?

I'm not aware of any dependencies. You can download it from :
