Come on folks, just point the guy in the direction of the best drag -n- drop website builder and call it a day.

The point I was trying to make earlier is that the best "drag -n- drop website builder" is available from most web hosting companies.

I'm currently working on a website for my HOA, and can say I have zero html programming knowledge. I logged into my eHost account, accessed the cPanel for it, went to the quick install link and installed Concrete5. I've been playing around with it for a little while, and it's very WYSIWYG. I can quickly add a photo slide show, an about us page, a contact page, any kind of form, etc. The only knock I have is that the forums aren't free, but that wouldn't apply to the OP.

Back to your point, the recommendations should be based on should he use Concrete5, Wordpress, Droopal, Joomla, or another CMS/site designer.

For pure simple WYSIWYG, Wix is hard to beat. They also have a decent amount of add-ons to add functionality.

I also like Bravenet because of the versatility. They have some useful dedicated services and a decent in line wysiwyg site builder that alows you to modify CSS files and header tags to add java script if you choose. They also alow you to host multiple domains and build sites through ftp or WordPress if you choose.

Yeah I RA'd both posts as spam

Hi! There are a lot of website builders (thanks God ) and we can choose the most suitable. I met the same problem some time ago, I tried to create website without any programming knowledge. Of course, I started with reading in Internet and found good article Free website builders, where I could see minus and pros of the most usable builders. I chose Wix and was glad. I can say, that its minus are not that much critical, and it's one of the best Drag & Drop website editor (as I understood, this was the point of your search).

Wow
