This is a FABULOUS product every (would-be) (amataeur) webmaster should have in his arsenal.

In particular I love its impressive collection of graphical templates and E-Commerce modules, which allows everybody to create nice websites without any technical skills (no CGI scripts, no programming skills).

That being said, I believe that products like this GAOTD are actually no longer necessary for the masses nowadays, due to the presence of open source content management systems platforms like WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.

In fact, Webmarketers like me prefer using WordPress platform to create professional websites, because in such way they can harness its massive plugins collection.

Anyway, as FREEWARE alternative to this GAOTD, besides WordPress, Joomla or Drupal, I also recommend a free tool called "BlueVoda", which is even easier than WordPress itself to buil a site, since it enables users to create and design websites by using the "drag & drop" technique:

Another great FREE Website builder tool I higly recommend, although no one seems to be aware of, is also this one:

As you can see, this excellent FREE software is not only a CMS, as it sports an extremely flexible framework, based on program modules and templates, meaning that with this tool every part of your website can be EDITABLE, allowing you to turn your existing static website to a dynamic one...cool, isn't it??

Other nice FREE apps designed to help you generate and edit professional websites are also the following ones:

* Adobe Muse

* Maple 4 Site Creator

Finally, if you want a FREE TOOL capable of quickly modifying in batch all web pages of your site with just a single click, then just install this GEM and enjoy:

Just a note to the second comment.

In the registration process you are actually setting up a user-account at www.image-line.com, the extra info allows you to come back and log in any time to get access to your products and to participate on our user forums.

It's all designed to make things easier later on when/if you lose your PC/hard-drive and you can download the program and install it again, hassle free.

Regards Scott

The registration process is rather tortuous. I suggest you watch the video first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTqSTIpT_Ow&feature=youtu.be

You need to give them quite a bit of information while registering, but it will work in the end (if you're patient).

I haven't tested it thoroughly but it looks like a good product overall if you need a full website with standard blog-like features. The company is reputable (FL Studio is awesome) and they give you 3 months support.
