    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a FREE easy to use website builder?
    I have hosting, I have the website, but I want to give it a facelift.
    Was using Frontpage last time...want something a bit more snazzy.

    Any suggestions welcome?

    Thanks!

    Well it ain't hard to get better than FrontPage, that's for sure!

    How "easy" depends on your knowledge & experience, and what you want to achieve, especially as you're saying you want something "snazzier"

    Also - are you planning on facelifting the existing code, or rebuilding? Because I'd scrap FrontPage code and start from scratch if I were you.

    Despite popular belief there's a reason why there are professionals and experts.

    So if you're comfortable with code and programming and CSS, you could get one recommendation, whereas otherwise you'd get one of the "simple GUI for dummies" recommendations that produces crap code or doesn't work on different screen sizes or browsers.

    It's worth checking if your hosting already has some sort of website builder included in their installable apps.

    They might even have SimpleScripts which can install WordPress & other CMS's, a bit more work but you'd end up with a better quality site than with a site builder.
