    Default Best website builder application?

    So I've been thinking of building up a website (not for money) for a mate who's in the graffiti art scene, but being a bit sh!t at web development, I've been looking at different solutions online that let you build everything as simply as possible. So far, I've come across two:

    www.basekit.com

    and

    www.squarespace.com

    Do any of you have any experience with either? Which one would you recommend?

    So far I am most impressed by basekit. Its really easy to use and has some pretty good templates included, but squarespace isn't half bad. Are there any better ones out there?

    Wordpress seems more aimed at blogs, but it does look pretty good. Has it got the same sort of "drag and drop" functionality of basekit?

    In any case, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a whirl.

    no mate,nowdays you can make a professional website using wordpress.it's easy to install and maintain and it's secure too.Not to mention it has lots and lots of themes as well as plug-in which gives you complete freedom to do whatever you want.

    I don't know about basekit but wordpress is the best in the class along with joomla and drupal as the most preferred site builder.Why not go for tried and tested instead of newbies?

    I once installed silverlight and it turned out to be a very bad experience.

    Wordpress, all day everyday. They can do everything from online portfolios to database admin to ecom to store. Pretty easy to work with, building one right now as a matter of fact.

    Check out http://themeforest.net/. They have some basic themes that you can buy and modify.

    There are also freeware tools, depending on what you want to do...

    This.

    You could also try joomla, I have no experience with it but I understand it is fairly simple.

    Also look at IM Creator.

    I knew HTML scripting right after birth. Thought that everyone do

    2 lines is too easy, you should never make it easy. Difficulties are the training for the mind

    thought it's good but very confusing for newbies
