if you need any open source software, then i would recommend searching on sourceforge.net

i don't know if it is open source, but Netscape has a built-in web site builder, that's very similar to frontpage. An alomost identical program, Mozilla Suite, has the almost exact same web site builder as Netscape, download Mozilla Suite at mozilla.org

well if u wanted you could also look at an Open Source Portal or CMS system they can be easy to configure and easy to get working

http://www.bignosebird.com has some free tutorials and stuff--for things like .cgi and javascript. Never took a look at html ones so I don't know if they're good or not.

Jeez, I've made a few posts in this forum lately. Doesn't anyone notice the link in my sig? I guess I have to bold it.

NotePad and WordPad from Microsoft aren't open source but they are the best website builder for starters IMO.

Nvu. It's portable too!

But honestly, I'd recommend wordpad. If you can't make a website with wordpad first, you have no business making a website, period.

Open Source? YUI is an open source platform but I think you mean something free to use right? I use http://webstarts.com.

 

[MrBalll]

Did you even look at the dates before posting?

 

[stupid]

Visual Studio Express is the best IMHO
