Best Cheap Website Creator?
I need a cheap and easy website creation tool. Website will not be anything fancy, mostly just text and a few graphics. Might want to later add some e-commerce stuff, but for now just the basics.

I am going to do it myself, so the software needs to be easy to use.

Recommendations?

2. Some guy in India
:)

You should look into Mambo or Xoops. Both are CMS (Content Management Systems) that are open-source and published under the GNU Public License (in other words they're free). As long as you've got a *nix server, you can install either of these and be on your way.

Or do it the old fashioned way and learn (X)HTML. Then you can just use Notepad or BBEdit to create your site. :)

5. Well, yeah, I've done that before...
My original site was done in MS Word, then I upgraded to MS Publisher. LOL.

Hoping for something a little more automated that will give me wizards for designs, etc.
