Easy online web design system?

[saraj]

[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hi

I try to find *easy* way to create website. This website is created by person who only knows tiny amount of html.

So i think easiest would be if user don't need to install any Windows software and design site using web browser by selecting template and changing it and never need to see any html-code.

Are there any such systems?

It needs to have atleast normal web site pages and blog, portfolio...

Thanks[/FONT]

I'd suggest Wordpress, pretty easy to install, everything is does though a GUI, all web-based, make take you a while to get used to using it, but it's really simple when you know how.

Thanks for answers.

I try Wordpress.


What other similar systems are available?

Wordpress is one of the most commonly used CMS and from what I've heard, the easiest to get to grips with. The installation instructions are just a page long all all you have to do is follow them step by step. Other than that there's loads. For open source There's Joomla and to a certain extent Drupal, but drupal is a little more fiddly and if you are a beginner trying to make a simple website it will probably be more hassle that it's worth.

Be wary of "10 minute website" and some easy website creation tools, some of them are limited in what they can produce and you will sometimes find that the designs they produce cannot be customised or they are tied to hosting with no direct access.

Wordpress is the simplest wayvto go. You can get some great themes ( designs and layout designs) free and low cost

Www.Ithemes.com and www.elegantthemes.com amongst many others

Better answer than Wordpress in this case I think. The OP doesn't want to see any code and editing a Wordpress template in the browser, without seeing any code is.. not possible?

SquareSpace is pure WYSIWYG top to bottom.

If this business wants any longevity I would suggest the future proofing of the site with Wordpress is a far greater benefit than WYSIWYG template editing.

Wordpress.com is fairly configurable through the admin panel (upload banner image, turn footer off etc) before you look at the text template editor.

In my mind, being able to keep the same domain name, with the same markup between systems (hosted WP and self-hosted WP) is far more important considering the potential impact when changing site provider / front end markup.

Wordpress is certainly a good idea, very user friendly or some hosting companies will help you install into WP with one click. If you want to ensure you've got a great looking and working website then it's worth considering working with a experienced and professional company.

I have to offer another vote for Wordpress! We use it as our blogging host - but you can easily turn your WP site into a website with a homepage, blog, etc. - all in one.

This slide show may be useful - it offers simple instructions for turning a WP site into a full website: slideshare.net/trishussey/how-to-use-to-build-a-website-using-wordpress-for-normal-people-presentation

I hope this helps Good luck!

You would be surprised how many clients find Wordpress difficult and confusing!

Things like Squarespace are more drag and drop which comes more naturally to some people.
