Free website maker/creator?

Hi,

Looking to sell a biug laod of stuff and thought making a website would be the easiest thing. However, from all the ones Ive found including making one on moonfruit.com, you end up having to pay after a week or after the trial period.

Was wondering if theres a place where you can make one for free and stays free.

i remember years ago there were loads like angelfire and moonfruit

Are these websites or programs? Im looking at a website which can let me simply design them via options and templates. You lost me with CMS

1 & 1 would be about your best bet tbh.. its free for first 6mnths anyways.. other than that your only other options are using serif free version but not sure if you can do ecommerce with the free one.. I know you can with the full via either paypal, mals cart or someone else...

joomla, wordpress or drupal are content management systems but you need a web host and server for these to install.. dont know of any free hosts for joomla or anyone else ...

The really simple solution would be adding PayPal and Google Checkout facilities to Google Sites. It won't be pretty, though!

Can't speak for anyone else's answer, but a Google Sites solution would be free forever.

Pending on how big your loud of stuff is, Wix.com is free. (if you don't go for premium) Here you can make flash or HTML 5 sites with wysiwyg-generator, link with FB and stuff. You CAN setup a eshop as well, but then you have to pay for it.
I use Wix and it works just fine for me. (LastDance Studio Photographer) It's a premium site, but then it's ads free.

Try it, it's free
