I want to create a business website for a small business, but I don't know HTML. I'm sure there are some sites out there that allow people to create their own sites and have control of their content for updating, etc. without having to know HTML. I know that will mean a simpler, more novice-looking website, but I just want to get something up and running now.

I have my domain name, I just need hosting and design site suggestions.

A program I've found quite useful is Web Dwarf. You can drag and drop pictures onto your page.

It's free and you can download it at download.com.

Dreamweaver. Pagemaker. There are a number of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors out there that allow you to create beautiful webpages without any html or coding knowledge. Check them out.

I'm going to recommend a different solution than a desktop program. Find a host that offers a Content Management System or CMS. That puts all of the page building power on the server side, rather than on your desktop.

With a CMS host, all you will need to manage your site is a web browser and an Internet connection. You can upload files, edit pages and make new ones from any web browser on any computer, pretty much anywhere in the world.

Have you looked into Joomla? Joomla!

It does take some time to learn; but not as long as learning HTML would take. Plus it's free. Digging around on the web, there are a lot of templates you can find that will probably give you the "feel" you are looking for. I did my sorority's website ( Delta Gamma Pi Multicultural Sorority Home Page ) in Joomla. Also you can update site content immediately and through a WYSIWYG interface, which is what you are looking for as well I believe.

If you want just a simple page, you can download PageBreeze, which you can look up on google. It is free and doesn't require html knowledge, although it does allow you to use html if you know how.

There are some recommendations here that would only confuse you (and most others) to no end. There are a ton of website templates out there - try this site. Then, eduate yourself on a little HTML - no harm in learning a little bit.
