To build on Gary's suggestions there's a review of DIY Websites at http://www.websitebuilderexpert.com/diy-website-builder/. Comparisons from September 4 this year include Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Jindo, GoDaddy and IM Creator, but none are free.

WordPress.com <http://WordPress.com> is free and may be worth considering. It has some premium options.

Thanks,
Robert

If the website is the goal, rather than a tool for learning web development, then one of the sites like wix.com <http://wix.com> have drag-and-drop editors built in. The site mentioned is hosted on weebly.com <http://weebly.com>, so would be an obvious choice.

    Dear Friammers,

    My grandson was inspired by this website,

    http://www.reptilesofcolorado.com/amphibians-of-colorado.html

    to want to do a website of his own, and asked for my help.  I have
    done three Websites in my time, the most recent a few years ago
    using Google Sites.  I found it adequate for my needs, but Google
    has the attention span of a gnat, and I assume they have not
    changed it and that a lot has changed in the environment since I
    last used it.

    So, I am asking if anybody out there recommends a simple website
    development tool, preferably free but not necessarily free,  on
    which I could help him develop a site.  For his age (12) he is
    remarkable nature artist and a pretty good photographer, so it
    cannot be a kiddie thing.

    Any thoughts?
