    If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage. Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in "domainname.com", you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... name will be masked by the domainname.com. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE. Here's a demonstration: Type in the URL window: "www.pizzanextdoor.com" which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: "http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzamen... and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name!

    Good luck!

    A website can serve many purposes. The biggest reason people want a website is because they have a service or a product to offer. A well-designed website will expose their business to a wider audience, as well as provide existing customers with updated information. With a website, the company's information and products are available to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's also cheaper than printing out flyers, newsletters, and brochures. In the age of the world wide web, having a website designed for your business will help prevent you from being left behind.

    I'm answering this because most of these answers are old now, and this could use some up-to-date answers.

    First, let's start with the free programs:

    If you're a hardcore coder (not just for HTML and other web languages, but other programming languages, too, also great for text), I think Notepad++ is great. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ . Also great for the coder, and more focused on web development, Aptana Studio (http://www.aptana.com/).

    If you want an HTML5 WYSIWYG editor that is geared towards ease of use, and you're not much of a coder, BlueGriffon may be a good choice. (http://bluegriffon.org)./ There are plug-ins available that you'd pay for, but you'll find that out of the box for free it's very functional. But my main issues have been it doesn't produce clean code, and if I have to work with PHP, it doesn't work well at all with it (but I haven't tried the latest version).

    Really, I have a hard time recommending BlueGriffon (which is based on NVU and Kompozer's code) if you want a professional web designer/developer to do the site later on. I used this for a long time, though. I would start out with the code to build a site quickly then break up the code for WordPress themes, but this program was particularly a pain, and though I mention it here, it's hard for me to recommend.

    Paid:

    For WYSISYG options, the ONLY thing I will recommend is Dreamweaver. I've had people tell me it produces bad code, but it's not been my experience. But I guess it depends on how you do your website. If you use WYSIWYG all the time, then yes, it might produce bad code. But I normally have split screen (both source code and WYSIWYG/design mode on the same screen) and still enter most everything in the source code editor. It works well when I'm working with PHP, too. I typically don't use Dreamweaver's built-in JavaScripts, but they're there if you want to use them. They can be very helpful for someone who doesn't know JavaScript and just needs certain functionality like validating fields on a form.

    Dreamweaver is part of Adobe Creative Cloud. You can have it for as little as $19.99/month. You could also find older versions for sell on eBay that are pre-cloud that you wouldn't have to pay monthly for.

    Several applications can be served by a website. The greatest cause people want an internet site is basically because they have something or perhaps a product to offer. A well-made website can show their enterprise to some bigger audience, as well as give information that was updated to existing customers.

    Yahoo offers a program called Sitebuilder. It's good, not as customizable as Microsoft Frontpage, but it's free and good for semi- computer literates, meaning you can actually make it look however you want, but it still does things automatically and can help you with stuff.
