It's huge, bloated, and unnecessary. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. You'll go a lot further if you take the time to learn HTML and CSS the right way: by doing it yourself. Don't ever rely on a WYSIWYG to do it for you. You're just making more work for yourself in the long run. Having said that, everything you need to design and develop a site can be done with all free tools, and yes, Filezilla is a nice free FTP client that you can use to upload your files to the web host. Apart from that, you'll just need a decent text editor. If you're using windows (and I am assuming you are), use Notepad++. No, I didn't say Notepad, I said Notepad++ (link in the source section below.) :) I've also included some more links to some free apps that you can use to develop sites and learn the basics. I'll update this post with maybe some more links in the future, but this should be enough to get you started for now. Good luck! :)<br><b>References : </b><br>http://wsc.opera.com/ http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ http://www.brainjar.com/ http://www.htmldog.com/ http://css.maxdesign.com.au/ I highly recommend you read through ALL of those, especially Opera's WSC.

It gives you a free space to add any image, video, texts, and any other stuff needed just like a normal website would need. If you are more advanced and sophisticated later on. You should start off on a clean slate with Freewebs or so (if you know basic HTML). Then you can build up from there. But you should definitely start off with Dreamweaver as a start, it will help you.<br><b>References : </b><br> I suggest you use Adobe’s Dreamweaver if you’re a starter in the Web Design world.
