Best program to build a website

Hey guys,

So I would like to build a basic e-commerce website, able to have pics, video, post blogs, take payments, and a mailing list subscriber. I have no experience with code. Someone recommended Xsitepro, has anyone used this product or can recommend something better?

Thanks!

osCommerece or Zen-cart will do everything except the blogging part (and maybe the video). Use any number of solutions for the blog side of things.

If you would like help with this PM me, I can provide a portfolio of work and prices range from free set-up to full on customization.

Check out this comparison of website software consumersearch.com/web-design-software bear in mind that if you are working on a laptop you may need different software than if you are using a desktop due to varying spec requirement.

SEO isn't so much accomplished by a program as much as it is accomplished by the way you design and execute the website.

There are a few experts on the subject of SEO, I'll yield the floor to them

Try osCommerce or Magento. See free carts in comparison. If you want a cms+cart try Drupal or Joomla!

If I remember correctly, you can change your (SEO) tags without getting your hands dirty (no code).

If you are complete newbie- definitely start by reading Google's Starter Guide (after that you can join trafficvault.com for more help )

If you can learn the tools... I would say dreamweaver + photoshop are your best bets.
