Anyone know of a free website creator?

[IceCold]

Anybody know of some website creation software, that's free?  I would like to make a nice looking website, and while I have a little knowledge of html, I do not have enough knowledge to make a very nice looking web page.  I figure it's probably out there, I just can't find it.  Thank you for the help.

yeah id like to know this too =)

That question is a bit vague because there are several languages that you can use to create a website and also lots of programas that help ya using them! There's programs that only check one programming language syntax and others that check various languages!

I use Ace HTML editor 4.0 wich is not free but ya can use it for a 30 day trial.

Crimson editor, i used this program during my trainee in a webdomains company seller, this program is free but not very user-friendly!

Macromedia Dreamweaver is the most user-friendly program that i know for that kinda purpose! I can also crac...  

Macromedia Flash for animated websites!

It's a matter of searching, i'm sure that there's lots of them over the web!


Once again, the Open-Source software (Sticky) topic comes to mind, make an effort and ask Saint to make it sticky!

I've always used Netscape's Composer (now part of Mozilla).  It's pretty good, and 100% free.

Well, you aren't going to get that nice of a website without knowledge of HTML and Graphic Design.

You can use some Templates....Ace HTML is great program, and you can download a 30 day trial for free. Same with Dreamweaver.

Without skills, you won't get a great site. Sorry. It just doesn't work that way. Computers dont design, people do.

Good luck though!

I use Notepad, Wordpad, KWord...but then again, I know HTML fairly well.

It's not hard.  Just pop open a page you like and sneak a peek at the source.  Then copy it.

You're right, I won't get a great looking site, but I was able to get a pretty good looking one with Actual Drawing  The problem was, all the buttons and everything had a big ugly watermark saying "demo".

I'll see if I can find Ace HTML

If a free HTML editor is what you need, there is 1st page 2000 version 2.0 free edition, that is completely free at this adress:  http://www.evrsoft.com/.  It is a complete package including over 450+ Javascripts and supports all the latest web languages.   Worth a try in my opinion.  They are currently working on version 3.0, but i don't know if that version will stay free however.

Another free option for an editor is Arachnophilia, at:  http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/.  That one is java based, so it can run on any platform.

Myself, I am a registered user of Coffeecup HMTL editor, which can be found at:  www.coffecup.com. They have a shareware version.  If I didn't have this one however, I'd be using 1st page 2000, which is working great.

You could always use templates, as someone else said earlier.  Good places for free ones are:

http://www.freesitetemplates.com/
http://www.weballey.net/templates/
http://www.freewebtemplates.com/
http://www.yruonline.com/  (this one has both free and $$$ ones)

Hope this helps

thank you Mamezilla! i found those links very useful =)

I use Arachnaphilia quite a bit.  It is a very good program.

I used to use it exclusively, until I got access to Dreamweaver through work.
