Wix

Wix.com
 * = ==General Description == ||= Wix is a flash web builder and arguably my favorite program as of late. It is a web site builder that offers Adobe Flash capability website without having to use HTML code to program. Also, because it is a web-based host it beats having to buy the Adobe software for triple the cost of the subscription. The site offers a user-friendly platform to create. Also, the site provided stock templates, as well as customizable resources. I have yet to find a feature that I have wanted to use that I was unable to find or create in Wix. The site offers a free package (limited to 3 pages) or a host of premium packages. The packages are reasonable depending on what you are looking to build. The more storage and data you are going to need is going to drive the price. But, even the most high-end package only costs $18.00 dollars per month. The site offers search engine services to help your site with traffic. Also, there is a strong support and help section available online to assist with website creation. You can make your free website from scratch and customize as you go. Or, get started by exploring our gallery of free website templates. Everything in a Wix web template is fully customizable using the Wix editor. Replace items in a template with your own text, content and links. Choose from tons of free pictures, clip art, icons, widgets, animation and more, found inside the website builder. The user-friendliness of Wix lets you put your ideas to work without having to worry about programming. ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= This is site is another that fits into my category of user-friendly. For student use, it is a simply sign-up and launch. With a free site you are not able to use a domain. If you need a domain (or would like a direct link) the student/teacher would have use the IP address assigned via Wix. Teacher use may be tricky. Students using this site would each individual accounts. My suggestion would be for the teacher to create a universal login and password in order to maintain the content and progress of the individual pages. ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= Before you go, it is absolutely imperative for you to have an updated version of Adobe Flash. The basic premise of the site is Flash, without a good version, the tool is virtually useless. As noted earlier, each person will need to sign up, create a login, and open an account. In order to import a user domain, the user would have to upgrade to a premium package. But, I honestly believe that for the price (free or premium) it is one of the best website builders available. ||
