Only a few short years ago, designing your homepage required you to master something like Adobe Dreamweaver. Although it's not overly complicated, the interface is enough to put off most novice web developers. This is why tools such as the Mac-only Rapidweaver have been a revelation. They enable you to take an existing template and then populate your site by inserting important information, such as your contact info and logo. Publish and you have your own professional website.

Webnode is an online-only site that will enable you to create your own homepage or website from a range of existing templates. However, if you want to drop anything advanced in to your site, such as a poll or Google Adwords and you can do this with ease. Want to point your new site to your company domain and you can do that, too. It's completely free, so there's no reason why you can't get started.
