Want to Make Your Own Website but Don't Know How?

Kind of a long title huh? Well I thought of a few others, but none of them made my point as well as this one. Anyway, you are here for a reason so I shall not drag on anymore. I recently discovered a few services that allow you to create your own website from scratch, without any experience. The first is called Weebly. This service allows you to create an account, build a page, host it with them for free or you can download the site and host it anywhere you like. You can do all this in a few simple steps that I guarantee anyone who has used the internet can figure out.

The second site is actually a Google service. It is currently still in the "Lab", but it is called the Google Page Creator. Much like Weebly, you can have a site up and running in a matter of minutes. While both are simple to use, I like Weebly's design better. My biggest issue with both though is a lack of good ad support. Weebly does have an AdBrite tool, but Google Page Creator doesn't have anything readily available. While I'm sure their are ways to edit the code to add this feature, it isn't something the average person is capable of.

So if you want to have your own website, but don't want to learn how to code HTML, or pay for the hosting check either or both of these services out.
