Site Builders

[This is part of a series on Website Design]

There are many WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors on the market today that can help you build a website.

Advantages of WYSIWYG Editors:

Little or no html or css knowledge
Put together a website in very short amount of time
Easily add flash, counters, forms, buttons, menus etc with drag and drop features
One button click publishing
Variety of predesigned layouts built right into most

Dreamweaver - This the best HTML editor avialable and is use by professional web designers. I use it to design this site. You will also need a web graphics editing software like Fireworks or Photoshop.
XSitePro
Blue Voda
Free Website Builder. However the website needs to be hosted on VodaHost.
Flash

Online site builders just require an internet connection. No download or program to install.
Allows you to just add content to premade sites
Some allow editing in other programs later, example; original site built in sitebuilder but modified and customized at a later date in frontpage or dreamweaver
Some web hosts provide a basic site builder built into the cpanel e.g. HostGater
One of the easiest and cheapest ways is to build a blog style website based on Wordpress. This can be easily installed via Fantastico which is available when you sign up for a host like Hostgator.
For a Content Management System (CMS) based website you might consider Joomla which can also be easily installed via Fantastico which is available when you sign up for a host like Hostgator.
