Best Website Building tool to use for a beginner???

    Can someone recommend which website building software is the best to use? I don't want to mess with html and want something very dynamic whereby I can create a template and then use a simple admin to just add/delete/edit/reorganize/reorder each page, etc... ?

    maybe a site that has a bunch of templates to chose from already? drupal, joomla, mamba, etc.. ?

    The sites I am making are for business purposes, so not in need of a blog-style site.

    oh ya, something free ;)

    thanks!

    It's called Wordpress :)

    I use WP for lots of static "business" sites. The templates I make look nothing like blogs, and my clients can update their stuff without noodling around with html/php/whatever.

    Drupal, Joomla and Mambo are overkill imho.

    I would recommend using Wordpress too. You can customize the themes to not look like blogs.
