What is a good website builder?

[jamesyd7798]

Ok so I have a blog but I wanted to bring it to the next level so I am trying a website. Only problem is that I want to do it with zero investment at all. So could a few experienced web designers point a new comer in the right direction. Thanks!!

Only problem is that I want to do it with zero investment at all.

Then that is a big problem.Still as you said you want to take your blog to next level, I assume you have enough experience with blogs and you already be knowing that Wordpress is the best blogging CMS around.
Also its free.
And there are unlimited number of free themes and plugins which will definitely enhance the functionality of the website.
Then if you want to put forums, You can have SMF,MyBB,PhpBB etc.,
If you want to go even further and want to develop a site which acts like a ebay site..go for Magento CMS.It has all features of a shopping cart site..free and by default it has the features.
If you want to integrate all the above you can choose Joomla and corresponding plugins.Certain plugins are free and have necessary functionality..

I always recommend people to learn HTML & CSS. If you have a grasp of computers and the internet it is easy.

I would like to add. When you hack your own code it makes you respect your own work and a greater sense of accomplishment.

Here is a website builder I came across from some of the email I receive.
I never used this, but may be something for newbies.

If you want to play with HTML, I recommend using Notepad++. It's a free download and I find it very useful. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/. Also, w3schools is a great site

I agree with the general population. You should learn web programming and make one out of code.
