Incredibly simple website builder

[Skeeter]

My mum has a website that I setup using the simplest content management style system I could find at the time, Concrete5. It does he job, but she still manages to screw it up.

What is the most simple website building tool thing that I can deploy into my own web space for my mum to use? She uses Office and that's about it so it needs to be very basic. A full on WYSIWYG thing would be ideal, and idiot proof and unbreakable.

I might also be able to convince her to use a cheap paid service if there are any.

Wordpress has a pretty decent WYSIWYG. Can use plugins to add or reduce options it has etc.

Can you install WordPress on your own host?

Can you install WordPress on your own host?

Yes.

What sort of content will be on the website?

Can you install WordPress on your own host?

Assuming your host allows both PHP and MySQL then yes. Most hosts also have a Fantastico/Softalicious feature to basically do a guided install where you don't have to do anything other than choose a few fields to fill in.

What sort of content will be on the website?

Its just a simple Club website. So a front page, then a news page and an about page and a couple of other pages. Its all static content as even the news isn't updated that much.

I'd like my mum to be able to just click on a page, click edit, change it like she would a Word document, and then save it. Something that also limits the style in use would be good, as on her current site she's managed to get the font, colour, size and everything completely different on each page .

Hmm, has anyone used Google Sites for something like this?

Webs.com is decent, easier to use over google I found as well. Anyone I've recommeneded it to loves it.

Webs.com has adverts...

And limited bandwidth.
