Software for basic website?Basically I need to make a basic 5-6 page website quickly, so looking for something simple/template based. I've made them in the past pretty much fully in notepad, and also in frontpage, but that was years ago and I'm in a rush. I have hosting available just need some software. Need to be able to make it in under 3 hours or so, all recommendations appreciated.

This one that I linked provides template downloads. Just copy pages and edit.

Re: Software for basic website?if your a student you can get microsoft expression web for free, which is a decent HTML editor for beginners.(Original post by theronkinator)
Thanks, aren't all these online though? I need to upload it to my specific hosting, hence why I think software would be easier, so I can ftp it over. -

Re: Software for basic website?If you have your own server, Joomla or Wordpress might be good for you. Easy and relatively quick to install and start editing your website.(Original post by theronkinator)

Re: Software for basic website?I do have my own server although it's in my room and doesn't host sites, just media.(Original post by Astonix)

However this is just a uni assignment and we have to use their hosting and it's only a one time thing, won't be used again, will just use expression web as it's what we used in lectures.
Cheers guys.
