The best I have found is perl. I am quite certain that is not what you mean, but I have always gotten the best results by studying html and coding my own page creation systems.
Others tend to underuse CSS, overuse things like tables and forms, and take more time to generate heavier and slower loading pages.
I like FAST. I have no use for slow loading pages. (Both a business and personal preference.) Most automated systems created poorly optimized pages that are not even entirely to w3 standards.
But perhaps I assume too much. Are you looking for an html editor, automated or dynamic page creation systems - perhaps database fed, a document system, ...
In other words, please provide more detail about your purpose, requirements, and from where you are starting.

I posted this as a noobie because I don't have any computer technical skills. I'm almost 70 but I can find my way around a computer and I am still capable of learning some of the more simple things. I think programming is beyond my capabilities. I was looking for an easy to use ready out of the box programme, although for younger more adept youngsters your suggestion is very interesting.
Thanks.
Extremely interesting and I thank you for that link.
I was however looking for something ready made as at my age I may not live long enough to build
I website from scratch

Blogger is just the thing for you.
If you want to get the feel of producing your own website or blog and keep it private/unpublished, just for your own personal use, then I suggest that you open a Google Blogger account:

I turn 65 this year, but have been working computer 'stuff' since 1969. To me it would be natural to code something, but I do understand.
What kind of project are you working on? The blog sites mentioned are enough for a blog, but there are limits on what you can customize. If we had an better idea what you want to do, we might better target our suggestions.
What is the best and easiest Web-Site/Page maker for Linux?
I create and/or edit web pages every day, and using the Seamonkey Composer is as simple as using a word processor.
The Seamonkey Composer is one of the elements in the Seamonkey Suite - along with the Seamonkey browser and Seamonkey Mail.
You did not mention which type of linux distro you are using, but for my ubuntu based distro, to get Seamonkey I install the ubuntuzilla ppa.
I use the following command to add it to my sources.list from a terminal:
(Click on "Select All" to highlight it - and then copy the command.)
Code:
echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
Then I add the package signing key to my keyring, by running the following command:
When you first open Seamonkey, it will open the web browser. To open the html editor (Composer) click on the Window menu at the top, or the Composer icon at the bottom.
If you want it to always open the Composer instead of the web browser, change the launcher to read:
seamonkey -editor u
I've used the website builder from 1&1 and had a good experience with it. Wordpress is also good, but then you are limited to a pre-designed theme. Really there are a lot of good options out there. It all depends on what kind of site you are aiming for and how much coding knowledge that you have.
