Creating your own web pages is one of the most satisfying aspects of running an online business. Not so long ago, you would need to master at least HTML (and preferably PHP and CSS) code in order to produce a professional looking web page or, failing that, outsource your requirements to a web developer for a pretty penny. Nowadays, there are a number of editors available that make the task of web page creation a relatively simple one, especially with the type of editor that has WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) capability.
These types of html authoring software are what is also known as point and click or drag and drop. They are extremely easy to use with no coding skills necessary. To add code such as affiliate links and opt-in boxes all you have to do is know how to cut and paste.
Here is a compiliation of five free HTML editors:
