Default Novice Needs to Build Website

Hey guys,

I have just started a business and am looking to build as professional looking a website as possible. I would like to make this myself with the help of a software program.

I know nothing about writing or manipulating HTML code and do not have time to learn.

My question: Assuming price is not an issue, what is the best and easiest software for me?

Thanks!

Since this day and age is all about presentation and hooking people that way - its best if you come up with a plan and design yourself and then source someone with skills to actually implement it.

Using a WYSIWYG when you don't have time to learn isn't the greatest way of making something "professional."

But to answer your question - Dreamweaver and/or Contribute would probably the best option, Contribute more so for the user who doesn't "get" html/css/java etc to begin with.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Using an easy editor like NVU, you can make a totally decent (non flash, non goofy) website that nobody would sneer at.

A clear display of information isn't so "unprofessional".

I guess I took his comment to mean more then just a "display" of information.

If you've got some artistic talent and a halfway decent understanding of web page layout, then I can agree with what you're saying Sam.
