Enforced office day due to snow & have watched enough porn to last a lifetime so now for the real work.
Any suggestions for free software to do a website? Must do one to get ready for Spring. I use Namesco for holding domain names if that's any use.

Cheers.

I'm still using the software I discovered 12 years ago - Arachnophilia. It's not up-to-date with all the latest html4.0 gimmickry, but I understand how it works and it creates what I want. It does require you to understand html and css, so it's not really newbie-friendly, but working on the principle of "if it's not broke, don't fix it", I've not kept up with all the new fancy software.

Depending on your skill level then dreamweaver is the kiddie. if like me your design skills on websites are not to good, download one of these free templates and modify it in dreamweaver.
they have done all the hard work to make Google compatible
