HTML editor: Dreamweaver, KompoZer, etc » Can create complete websites. Build page(s) in folder on desktop, upload to [ www ] . Keep local copy to edit and upload to PASS to update. More of a learning curve, some HTML helpful. High customization, but can also edit free templates from web. Start with a link portal, add functionality as skills increase. Dreamweaver available 343 Woodland, free 30 day trial. KompoZer is free and open-source.
