Best and Easy website building softwares i.e. CMS?

[rickkumar]

Hello EveryOne,

After parking our domains for many years, we have decided to start building useful content rich websites that enrich the user experience. We want to start with the learning process with one site and go from there.

Problem is that we have never built any website ourselves before even though we have lots of high quality domains.

Please suggest us a software package that meets the following:

1. Extremely EASY to learn (remember we have no knowledge of coding, programming, or webdesign).

2. Not very expensive.

3. Helps in many things such as: google site maps, meets terms of adsense/ypn, ad placement, etc.

4. Makes adding, changing, managing content very easy.

5. Suggests optimization for search engine for website pages.

6. Has a great admin panel for editing websites.

7. Can be used on a pc or laptop instead of server while making/editing websites.

There are so many softwares that claim to do everything such as xsitepro etc.

Are they any good?

What are you pros using?

And most importantly what should we use given our lack of experience as mentioned above?

Please advise. Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Regards.

You can do it like cms (simple version)
See fivio.com They're using wordpress. It's nice looking by the way

Can you install wordpress on your computer with windows xp?

I will recommend getting a free hosting.
I never tried install it on winxp but looking at wordpress requirement, i think you can. Good luck.

You would need to install php, apache and mysql. I recommend Easyphp http://www.easyphp.org/

I would recommend wamp http://www.wampserver.com/en/ It's a lot more powerful than easyphp IMHO
