Great software for simple websites

If creating a basic website is all you need, web easy fits the bill perfectly.  Its intuitive, has great premade sites, and its easy to create something in minutes.  Within an hour, I made 2 or 3 great mock ups just playing around with it.

There is a bit of a learning curve, so be prepared to spend an afternoon just playing around with it.  My advise, don't try to make your official website until you've made at least four or five test sites.  Play with all the features and read the help menu thoroughly.  It will save you a lot of searching.  In addition, take a piece of paper and map out how you want the layout before you start on your official website.  Creating links to every page is a tedious process, and setting down on paper first will make it less confusing.

I've read several user reviews, and some people jokingly called it "Web Hard" and complained about how hard it was to learn the features.  These people struck me as not very computer savvy.  Here's the thing, if you don't know your way around a computer in general, then ANY program is going to confound you.  In addition, do you really have any business trying to create your own website if you don't know what right-clicking is?

Its called Web Easy because to people like myself, who have used computers for years but know next to nothing about HTML, it makes the process of creating a website much much more simple.

Oh BOY! You hit the nail on the head Mike!  Software only does what we tell it to do and anything as complicated as building a website (a GOOD website) should not be attempted if you are not at least SOME computer and internet savvy.

It is silly to have to keep telling people: "READ THE HELP FILES!" You know?

I am nerdy as nerdy gets, I'm big on gaming and reading science fiction and fantasy.  If you've read Gene Wolfe, you're my new bestest buddy in the world.  I also love breaking open my PC to fiddle around with it.  If I start going on a nerd rant, please excuse me.  It can get weird.
