I know there are lots of programs out there for creating and publishing websites without coding. I'm not sure how many of them are idiotproof, affordable, bug-free, and have incredible support from the developer. WebBuilder meets all of these criteria.
I know very little about html or websites, but was able to create a site with no problem at all, using WebBuilder. My wife knows even less, and her site came out very nice as well. Judging from the message traffic on the WebBuilder forum, dozens of other people have had outstanding results. I can't recall seeing a dissatisfied customer.
Pablo, the developer, usually responds to messages within an hour. He's happy to give detailed instructions to help you create the effects you want. If your site doesn't look quite right, he'll visit it and offer suggestions. Pablo will even study your source code to help fix whatever problems you might be having. He'll also tell you when WebBuilder can't do something.
The cost is $29.95 and there's a free trial available. WebBuilder is available here:
