I'm in the process of putting together a website for a new business venture and would love to have the collective wisdom of the forum on what website-building software packages might be the best.
The website will essentially be a landing page to talk about the mission of the business, vendor partners, contact information, upcoming events, news-worthy articles, etc. Eventually I will have an e-commerce link to the page. I would also like the ability to have an attached/associated blog, Twitter feed, etc.
Also of note, I am NOT a programmer by any means and am looking for something with a template base that is easy to use/beginner friendly. It should also be flexible with the ability to change heading fonts, backgrounds, images, etc. Free packages would be nice as well. :)
I did my first website this past week using Plesk Sitebuilder. Plesk is easy to use, but definitely lacks the flexibility needed to deliver the (more) professional quality that I'm after.
Given all of this, what website development packages would you suggest?
Thanks!
