Hi,<\/p>\n

I’m looking for a tool to create simple websites (5-10 pages), only static content (no PHP). Think of the typical small business or sports club website: text + pictures about what they did\/do, nothing really complex.<\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/p>\n

  • usable by a non-programmer who doesn’t want to know about gory technical details (HTML, CSS, etc)\n
  • doesn’t make it too hard to create a website with a few pages (i.e it should do a bit more than just allowing to create one page)\n
  • built-in support for (S)FTP uploading of the website, usable by a non-programmer after someone computer-litterate will have set it up. (that’s not an absolute requirement, but would still be nice to have. also, what are the nice graphical tools to do that, currently?)\n

    I’m asking for two different persons with different needs. So please don’t limit your replies to free software (although it would be nice): cheap proprietary applications might be adequate as well. Regarding platform, Linux, Mac OS X or Windows would all be suitable.<\/p>\n

    I don’t think that a CMS is the right tool here: the focus should be put on the content (which won’t be often modified anyway) and its presentation, not on the ease of modification. For example, I’d like to be able to position pictures in a precise way. However, I might be interested in a CMS that is:<\/p>\n

  • easy to setup (for a reasonably computer-literate person)\n
  • extremely easy to learn (a couple hours at most, for a non-programmer)\n
  • easy to transform into something that looks good\n

    In your comments, it would be great if you could include examples of what you did with those tools (yes, links are welcomed!)<\/p>\n

    Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
