Webs.com , weebly.com, webnode.com, microsoft or wordpress- Which one is easier to use to build a website? I want to build website ( a online travel directory), which of these sites is the easiest( that allows paypal, google ads as well) to use for a novice thats not experienced building websites? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi sure we can help you to design the website but can you please tell me what kind of website you want or any special requirement to create website so i can guide you much better. thanks
As a beginner, it might be easier for you to use Joomla! CMS. It's not quite as simple as Webs, Weebly, etc., but it's not hard either. There's pages on-end of documentation and support for Joomla!. All you need is a hosting plan and domain (even a subdomain) and you're good to go! Simply upload your Joomla! files and it'll walk you through the installation.
Yeah none of these sites look professional at all, most of them downright ugly. If you're going for some sort of WYSIWYG editor i personally would use Spruz.com, but your best bet if you don't wanna learn HTML/CSS is to go with Joomla! or Drupal! as Piggy said, because those can look very nice.
HI, Whats the difference between wordpress.org and the .com one? Which one should I use to learn? Whats Wordpress like compared to Drupal and Joomla? Thanks

I'd go for a Wordpress Blog with an SEO optimised them... blogs aren't just blogs, with WP you can build a complete website very easily. ... or use a 3rd party site generator. I wouldn't recommend the learning curve of HTML/CSS or Dreamweaver unless you want to be a web designer. Steve
I agree with you Piggy , Joomla is professional website for CMS. In fact it have many help over the internet and you just need to study the architecture of the Joomla. It provides the information about the extensions and modules used in the Joomla , rest you need not to code but just use it by GUI mode or wizards.
Joomla is already set up with abilities for sections and categories. Wordpress only has categories, but you may find a plugin to start sections also. If you want a directory, use the mosets tree plugin for joomla.
If you haven't had any experience building a website i would definitely have a play around with wordpress .
Depending on the complexity of your site you need either wordpress, joomla or drupal. Wordpress is the easiest and then joomla. I wouldn't use wordpress.com as you cant use adsense on it. Your own instance of wordpress, will be better. If you dont want to pay for hosting then you are better off with blogger over wordpress.com as you can use adsense or alternatively try one of the wordpress mu versions out there. Wordpress is very easy to set up. Once you know what you are doing you can have a fairly sophisticated site online with wordpress in a remarkably short period of time.
Hands down, Wordpress, is definitely the way to go. I've been building websites since 1997. I've explored all the options and I chose Wordpress long ago and never looked back. What started out as a blog has evolved into a platform that allows you to add in just about anything you can think of. You can build membership sites, directories, squeeze pages, sales pages, etc. and there are plugins to add adsense and lots of payment options. Wordpress has taken the web by storm and I don't know very many Internet Marketers that still use HTML. Wordpress has a huge advantage because it has RSS. This simple function allows your site to be pinged to the ping servers whenever something new is added. There are also some great video tutorials for Wordpress that can help get you up and running. If you are going to do this on your own, please take to time and effort to go through one of the tutorials first. It will save a lot of time and also help you to set the site up with proper SEO up front so you don't have to backtrack when you learn something later. There is no simple way to make a great site, but Wordpress is sure tons easier than HTML and has a lot more perks too. Ginger
