If you have limited knowledge of HTML, the chances are good that you won’t be able to open up Wordpad and code a terrific website. If you are going to run a business on the Internet, it is good to at least get your feet wet when it comes to web design. One very easy way of doing this is to use a WYSIWYG web editor. WYSIWYG stands for “What You See Is What You Get” and is pronounced “wizzy-wig”. Using a WYSIWYG editor allows you to see how your page will look to visitors over the Internet as you design it. You have formatting toolbars that can play with text, images, and forms with just a few clicks instead of having to remember HTML tags. If you want to take simple web design for a spin, check out Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, or Adobe GoLive. If you want something free, check out XStandard.

If you use a mac, iWeb is nice and simple as well. If you have your own domain already, most web host will actually give you a free WYSIWYG editor; either online or offline. Adobe GoLive is rich in features tailored more for non-coders, of course you can always stick to pure design mode in Dreamweaver and don’t have to see the code. Check out those products out, if you still don’t find quite what you are looking for, ask again and I’ll post others you could take a look at.
