The articles about free web building tools are very popular on eHow. I'm always looking for more of these sites, however, I think you got the URL wrong. Thanks.

It does include advertise, however, you can pay to have the advertising remove and have other features. Also, I'm not skilled at web design, but even I can tell that all these free site builders are very limited tools and are only reccomended for begginers.

Finding anything free that really meets your needs and is flexible is next to impossible, in my opinion. I would not advise you to try to run a business using one of the free sites. I know people have done it, so there are always exceptions. Some of the free blogging tools might be a better option for a business site, but to be really flexible it needs to be a self-hosted blog.

Since I didn't read the rest, please advise on the following. I had heard that SynthaSite had a direct Trojan virus connection. Also heard that Weebley had several crashes (not good) this summer. SynthaSite also supposedly is rigid, regarding the templates. Do you know much about Microsoft Live Small Business? We are seeking a "free" hosting site, and want something that doesn't require us to have those annoying ads, and that has lots of flexibility in building the pages. APpreciate it and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Bram Hi – I read the last part of your info regarding free web building. Since I didn’t read the rest, please advise on the following.
