Website Development Alternative???

[CHILLY]

O.k. i'm a newbie in a big mess....Let's call this "The John Doe Website Builder"
I'm too new and too poor to get Front page or Dreamweaver ect... Is their a less expensive and newbie freindly alternative? does anyone here know of one or sells one...
What i'm looking for??? I just need a Website Builder that i can type in my content into a template and then Publish it. I would need access to the cpanel in order to install ArcadeGame Scripts(i would not be installing but the seller would) and intsall forum Templates(ex. i download the free phpbb and then put that into my website)
I have Hosting at GoDaddy and 1and1 and they both have "WebStie Builder" systems but neither will allow me to put ArcadeGame Scripts or Forums on them!! I wish i knew that before hand..
Does such a thing exist??? Did this post make any sense??? Thank You....Please let me know if i have to clarify something.....best regards.....

I don't personally have experience with this particular editor, but I've heard nice things about it. Judge for yourself

Thank you very much, I clicked the thing for Rep Points, I downlaoded the free trial but it said that html knowledge is assumed, and i think it may be a liitle too advanced for me. I was looking for a ready made microwave oven website publisher--cut and paste type deal where i could also add game scripts and forums scripts ect...
P.S. i was reading your post about your big sale and the stradegy you used in making that sale, thank you, i learned alot from that.

If you want an arcade game script then you'll have to buy one. Google for one and then see if the script also allows you add your own articles and content (this is what you want right?). If there isn't one like that then you'll have to buy a commercial arcade game script and use a free cms (like the ones at your host) and hire someone to integrate the two.

Chilly, on GoDaddy go to the hosting manager (hosting & email -> web hosting & databases). There should be a list of your hosting accounts. Click "open" next to the one you want to put a BB on. Another window will pop up that will take you to the hosting manager. Now click "content" in the right sidebar then click on "value applications."

You now have a list of free scripts you can install very easily. Scroll down to the bottom to find smf (a free BB). If you see something you want to install click "install" and then fill in the requested information and follow the directions.

O.k., Bidawinner, thank you for that i'm looking into that now. Rep added.

Abdussammad, I already purchased the Arcade game script but the godaddy / 1&1 Website Builders will not allow me to install the script on the Builders, I would have to develope the site independantly(which i can't) then isntall the script on it. Rep added.

Betterhosting, the tech support at Godaddy said that i could not install the arcadegame scripts on their Website Tonight Builders or the forums from the free download, The hosting is cool, if i were to use the scripts independantly, but i cannot do it on their Website Tonight thing. Rep added.. Let me know if i did not understand your statement clearly.
P.S. Is your website an offshoot of GoDaddy???

Chilly, that's true that you can't do it through website tonight but you can set up free hosting and have more control. Imo website tonight is junk and shouldn't be used.

Why can't you develope the site independantly?

My hosting service is through the same parent company as GoDaddy.
