What is the best website builder?

There are many website builders on the market today. But what exactly is a website builder?

A website builder can be an online service (such as Yahoo Site Builder) or it can be software you install locally on your comuter. It can be as complex and expensive as Dreamweaver or as simple and free as Notepad that comes preinstalled on most computers (Windows).

Website builders may also be called HTML editors or WYSIWYG editors (What You See Is What You Get, pronounced wisiwig).

Lets explore some of the editors available. You can click here for a table comparison of web editors. A new window will open.
