Hi all.

Any one here who knows me will know that I am about as useless as tits on a bull when it come to most computer thingoes. I can crash a computer easier than a car.

Anyway, I wish to design a website and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a program to use that is easy and basic, but can come up with a reasonably professional looking page.

Or should I just pay someone who knows what they're doing??

Any other advice about anything internet would be appreciated, Such as hosting and whatnot. (thanks Peter for all your help so far, and please feel free to offer some more).

Microsoft Frontpage is a good and easy program to use. Other than that, you could try notepad haha.

Haha, Another nice and easy program to use is Macromedia Dreamweaver. It also depends on what you are trying to do with the page.

It is not the product that matters but whether you have a sense for visual design and interface clarity. If this is for commercial purposes, I suggest professional help is the right way to go.

As David has mentioned, it depends on what the website will be used for.

Also is a content sensitive? where you require the website to contain up to date information at regular intervals?

If that is so it is worth looking into content management system (there are freewares on the net) and just get someone/make yourself/download skins which will give it the personal feel.
