pssst...can anyone spare some website building software?

I'll return it in good shape, honest.
Or, if anyone has links to forums/sites that can walk an idiot through building a 5-10 page, basic, no e-commerce/back end site, that would be peachy as well.

Thank you,
The Management.

Do you have a strategy- CSS template, fancy flash (not recommended for first effort) basic html, or something server side like PHP or ? There are a few different open source packages out there that you may want to check out- PC or Mac OS?

IF PC then NVu, Alleycode, Webniac, Coffeecup has a free and paid version both, there are others too.

Just stay away from Frontpage or the Microsoft replacement in Office suite- it may be easy to get and pick up but creates really bad code that tends to be very Internet Explorer specific.

I also recommend Aptana...an Eclipse IDE based app for web dev.

If you are using a PC just right click on your desktop and open notepad. Thats all you need. Oh and maybe this site will help www.w3schools.com

check out 1&1 Internet

they have templates, an easy control panel

good package

I almost forgot I think Google has some web building stuff. That is if you don't like notepad.

For a kinda basic site with text, photos and limited use of javascript or etc;

Mozilla SeaMonkey HTML Editor (Free BTW)

Has anyone used 'WebsiteTonight', which is in cahoots with GoDaddy?

Are there benefits to using provider-provided site builders, or going solo, like with NVu?
They seem to offer some good back end services...
