Here is another question I received and I think more people can learn from the answer:

Question

Which software is the easiest and free for me to build my own website.

Answer

Hi
I think in today’s world it is better to use an online editor like WordPress or Joomla
I battle too much with Joomla so I prefer WordPress. Most people think WordPress is for blogs but it is not, you can do a normal site with it as well.

You can download it for free at wordpress.org but you will need a server to upload it to.

That is the method I show my students at www.createyourownwebsite.co.za

If I were to start from scratch now I would not spend my time learning the ins and outs of web design I would rather take something like wordpress or joomla and spend my time on getting quality content for my site.

I currently use Dreamweaver for my web sites which costs about R7,000 for the software and months of frustration to get to know it. Once you know it I guess it is the best option but in the year it takes you to learn the ropes you could have earned thousands from your web site already.

Best regards
Pieter
