Hello. I was wondering if there is any free drag and drop software that I can use to create a nice-looking website.

Also, are there any drag and drop website creation scripts that can be uploaded to a server and used to easily make a website online? Is it possible to use it as a reseller web host?

I highly recommend against using such scripts. It's best to learn HTML/CSS so you have full control over the site and take account for semantics and usability.

I agree, it's much better to learn it the "hard way", that way you can fix something if it goes wrong!

Editors are meant for people that do not have time to learn html and css but you can use:

or just get a free template and edit that.

I think that most editors are a pain. Notepad serves me right.

Only if you have a few hundred dollars for a professional in the first place.

True. Depends on what the site is for (personal vs business) and what the budget is
