Web building is good fun ...

I tried several on-line web builders - some are good, some are really NOT worth your while bothering with. The best ones are the ones which give you most control, but as always, everything is not necessarily straight forward and simple.
Now, you can go for a web name on Godaddy.com and then have them host you. They use all sorts of marketing tricks to pull you in, so I kept my blinkers on, purchased the simplest combination and took my url name with me so I could host it on AWber, using an opt-in page to build a leads list, to redirect leads to a separate splash page. You have to either make your own website or get one made, which is what I did as part of the team I joined.
Parallel to that, I run my own website at GDI. This provides a .ws name (mine is: its-your-future.ws) and hosting all in one really cheap bundle. I quite like their templates too, although don't expect a big choice. What I like about this is the easy access, simple, straight forward builder with both plain text and html (don't be frightened off by html - it's really useful for adding banners for example).
If you're sophisticated enough to use web builder software, launch and publish the website via an ftp to a host, then for Mac, I have found Rapid Weaver to be an excellent web building tool. It's highly flexible and allows you to do most of what more expensive, so-called "professional" packages permit. Look for it at: www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/.
