Any recommendations of software for building websites? I just don't feel like I need to know cascading style sheets or memorizing html code to get the layout I want. Just a drag and drop like the old microsoft front page but with a bit more features. Not looking to sell, just a informative site but need to swap out information frequently (PDF's, Pics, Links, etc.) Something that will interface with most browsers.
Would like control of the layout as opposed to most hosting sites that offer limited designs. Something like a GUI, WYSIWIG environment that generates the code in the back ground. Cant seem to pin a good one down.
Thanks

But, with the way things are constantly changing with mobile, I'd recommend going with a place like Square Space or Wix unless you intend on doing the upkeep yourself.
Wordpress is another great option, has far more control than the other two places (Square Space and Wix), a shit ton of templates, and you can still get into all of the HTML if you host it yourself.

Plus it gives you infinitely more control than squarespace or wix. Of course more control also means more complexity, but for all the various different content management systems for website building, it's definitely the easiest to use with the most resources available.
Id build it in more than likely in Wordpress, but I know a lot of tricks and best ways to handle things to make them super easy for you as I work in it almost everyday.
BUT I think what you want is this -
If your budget is tight, man squarespace is hard to beat, I send a lot of low budget requests to just manage their own site with Squarespace, you don't need me for simple stuff.
Wordpress is great too but I think out of the box and ease of use, Square is where you wanna go.
Pit Row
I use Visual Studio Code - Made move over from Sublime Text about a year ago. Blown away Microsoft made something so good, with the extensions I have in it and the terminal being right there, easy access to run my gulp files, git and the code hints for WP, Drupal, React are big time savers.
But I love me some VIM.
