WEBSITE MAKER? please help?

Notepad++ works really well. If you want to make websites with it (or with any program), you have to learn how to make websites. A website file is just text, so any text editor will do. It's the person using it that makes the difference between "yawn" and a great site.

Kompozer works well. I'm assuming you're talking about editing HTML files. If you're talking about simple point-and-drag-and-type kind of stuff for beginners, try Google Sites.

If you want to make them out of scratch programming in HTML, I'd try something like Nvu or Dreamweaver. Of course if you don't want to download those and want to stick with something more simple you can use Notepad. If you have no idea how to program in HTML, I recommend using Webs, it's free and it's good: http://www.webs.com

I'd say use a free online web host and website builder like Weebly. It's easy to have a custom domain and it supports Google AdSense. My service of choice for any beginner would be Weebly.
