well i am wanting to build a website but know nothing of writing files and codes and what not...godaddy has the hosting plans or you can get a website builder that does it all for you so all you have to do is click and drag and with the hosting you have to access an FTP site and do all the other crazy stuff....can someone help??

Just type Homestead web builder into google. It is a program that very easily allows you to build a website from scratch.

really i guess you could say it is business as well...i am going to help him build it but he works a lot of hours so if we both work on it from time to time then maybe we can get it running....the car club website never actually made it up a few pics here and there

Very easy. They could not make it simpler. I did my brother's construction website with it and it looked incredible.

to build a web site you can use MS NotePad... but you have to know the tags...personally i like Dream Weaver... but even if youre using a program it really helps to know the tags... there is ALOT of tutorials and info available on the interweb... PM me if you want some help...

My recommendation is to learn some html. Do a search on google for html tutorial. It's pretty important to at least know a little, no matter what program you use. I program website CGI as a part of my regular job, but also do web design on the side. I started out learning html and programmed my first websites strictly using it and without having done that, I wouldn't be able to do it on a regular basis. If you really want to learn how to make a good, sharp looking, user friendly site, I recommend not only learning html, but learn CSS (cascading style sheets). Everything you need to know can be found on google. Follow along with a couple tutorials and within a week you can be writing html from scratch in a text editor. Then, when you go to use your program (whether it's dreamweaver or something else) you'll be able to fix/adjust anything you might not be able to get quite right.
If you have questions, feel free to PM me.
