I am in need of some advice. What is the best, and, preferably free, web-site builder to use? I am not technically minded so HTML coding is out of the question...any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Dash.

The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually see the pilot start sweating.

Try some of the freebies on some of the magazines .net normally has a freebie on it.
As for whats best - you get what you pay for I'm afraid. I use Adobe pagemill relatively cheap compared to things like dreamweaver.

DASHER,

Depending on your needs, you might find the "Geobuilder" program at Geocities.com of use. It's actually a java applet that doesn't involve any download and installaiton per se. I think other big hosting companies have similar tools.

If you have an hour or two to spare, it works just fine - just be sure to save the page if your internet connection is prone to breakages :)

Once you're familiar with the way it works, it's a painless exercise to update and play around with page layout. It won't win you any creativity awards, but it gets the job done.

If you want a free program (actually a 30 day evaluation), try either of these two : http://www.hotmetalpro.com/ http://www.netobjects.com/products/html/download.html

Best wishes.

Check out Moonfruit (http://www.moonfruit.co.uk)

Totally on-line, very simple to use, and can make some very impressive looking sites.

Take a look at Trellix http://www.trellix.com Not free, but a very easy way to organise and maintain a web site.
