Website Builder?

[Jumbo]

I am looking for an open source tool that will allow me to create websites. Does anyone out there knows of such an open source website builder?

Yahoo is a good place to build a website. There are tools that can help with marketing as well as how many views your site is getting. You can use the Pagebuilder, or use coding in the 'file management' system. Its great. I made my barn website from there.

I use Joomla for most of my websites. It's a great open source CMS, very flexible. You need to have a host with a linux account, php, MySQL.

I love Zen Cart for e-commerce.

Begin with setting up your own webpage as your current internet provider will provide free hosting as discussed below.

If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool which is totally free. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.

Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.

When you acquire a domain name, connect it using a redirection service [as discussed above] and submit/publish the domain name on major search engines/directories in order for Net surfers to find your website.

Good luck!
