yahoo page builder? angelfire? they are all the same.... 
if you plan to make a website (webpage more likely), it is better for you to dig out a copy of "Macromedia Dreamweaver" or if you can't, use 'Microsoft Frontpage" which comes with MS office. Anything is better than online page builder
You should also start learning a bit (you don't need a lot) of html. You just need to know the format and some basic code
my recommandation is "Macromedia Dreamweaver" all the way

Frontpage , just use Dreamweaver (altough it's not one of my favourites) or even Notepad will do and learn html + css. Later on you can start another language like php.

i find the web page builder very easy to use and basic for the young minded like me -_- If you want a free website then go to www.freewebs.com they also have a pretty good web page builder i like to use it -_- Good luck

Kryptonate you see, "Dreamweave" is not free. I don't think it's a good investment if the only time in your life using it is to make this webpage. Considering the way random posted his question, i'd say he doesn't know html so let's not rush to coding in notepad and php and programming 
i'd say use "dreamweaver" if you already have it, if not use frontpage, if not, get any program you can find, if not then use online page builder as last resort

I know ¬¬, but anything is better than Frontpage
. Microsoft-not-following-W3C-standards And if you learn html you don't need another program than Notepad in the beginning. I suggested him/her to learn html, and later on how to program
.

so far i think dureX's www.freewebs.com page builder is more convincing then Dreamweaver, Frontpage, and notpad in this thread
looks like random is going for www.freewebs.com, someone stop him quick before he reaches the point of no return!!!

may i throw into the argument nVu
it can be downloaded at www.nvu.com
it was made for linux but there is a windows version on the site too
IMO its just as good at making webpages as dreamweaver and i agree with Kryptonate, anything is better than frontpage
i used to use dreamweaver a lot but now i use php instead of html, i dont see the point because dreamweaver sucks at php 
RE: help with making a website by random on 11-04-2004 at 01:16 AM
so wats ur final idea on how to make it because i dont have dreamweaver or wat ever u were sudjesting

Look dude, use geocities or another free host - though not the best, it's a start. Also, use this basic framework to create your site:
code:
<html>
<head>
<title> WEBSITE TITLE HERE </title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<img src="images/image.jpeg">
Use this area for text and things, use the img src code where images are needed, and use the table code for tables (below) (tr = table row, td = table cell). Use the <font face="arial" size="4" color="red"> TEXT HERE </font> code to change fonts and use the <b> BOLD </b> and <i> ITALICS </i> codes where needed.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
and that's basic HTML code.

If you don't know HTML, I imagine that is probably the most confusing thing ever. HotMetal Pro used to be quite good, but I can't seem to find a link anymore.

HTML is pretty simple, if you can use bbcode (i.e. [b]bold[/b]) then HTML would be pretty easy.
RE: help with making a website by jren207 on 11-19-2004 at 05:57 PM
Learning HTML is the best way 
. You can customise the page how you want it and make your own templates etc. Just find HTML tutorial using google then open notepad and start making

www.htmlgoodies.com is quite helpful for anything to do with HTML (if you can ever find what you're after)
