Do you require a WSYWIG editor, or are you editing the HTML directly?

If the latter then I actually like NetBeans :-O

i must be something someone who does not know about IT can use so a text editor is not any good! nice and graphical is what we need...

Oh, WYSIWYG. I believe Frontpage has been discontinued as of foreverty years ago and is some other program from MS's Expression suite. No idea if it is any good.

The only other one I know of is Dreamweaver. You may be better off asking in the HTML subforum.

Most web hosts have half serviceable web page creation tools.

There you go, used that to make a quick and easy website in my early days before creating them all manually myself. Free hosting too, so you can get it up and running right away!

You can also get free domain names, although not very appealing ones, you should look into it.
