My favourite web hosting service, FatCow.com has a new ‘drag and drop’ function for building websites, which makes setting up a website (literally) as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Click here to buy your domain name and a year’s hosting for only $66.
2. Log into the Control Panel (using the username and password you selected), then click on ‘Weebly Drag and Drop Builder”.
3. Make use of the very user-friendly interface to select a template. Then drag whatever elements (picture, text, video, ecommerce, GoogleMaps and more) onto the screen. You can even add pages which are accessed via the navigation bar. Then input your text and click on ‘Publish’.

Perhaps I’m oversimplifying, but I think it would take a fairly extreme case of technophobia to get in the way of your own free (except for the hosting) website.
