"Building a website (2)"

So I built my very own website on freewebs. Admittedly it looked fairly decent, but in short, I learnt next to nothing and obviously it looks generic with one of their 5 templates.

Question being, could I actually make my own website?

Could I use publisher, word, etc?

Could I get a trial version of a proper piece of software?

Making a website appears to be pretty tough for the kind of ideas I have, so it'd generally be easier to do it myself, without knowing anything in particular, therefore a template thing like Publisher would be good.

Any ideas/answers?

Cheers.

Try something like 1st Page 2000 (by Evrsoft I think). It's got a good HTML editor so you can get used to programming the raw code, plus it has some built in templates I think, as well as a standard WYSIWYG. And on top of that, it's free.

Just DON'T use Word or Publisher to make websites - the code they generate is awful, doesn't work in all browsers, and makes files 10-15 times bigger than properly coded ones.
