I am doing some consulting marketing for a family member and they want to have a website that they can easily customize when necessary. Two website services that caught my eye were Homestead.com and Yahoo.com. Both of them provide templates to build websites off of, both have simple software for design purposes, and both seem to offer e-mail and domain names. Although I could personally use website design software like Dreamweaver, I want my family member to be able to make simple changes without my help, thus why I am interested in one of these sites compared to other web hosting sites like GoDaddy.com.
Of these two that have templates and web design software, who would you choose? Please provide a little comparison to justify your recommendation.
Thank you for your Help.
Although I appreciate the help thus far, I would like for contributors to focus on the question; for instance, if you are going to recommend a separate site other than the two I asked about please tell me why you prefer that one over the mentioned ones.
Thank you

It sounds like you want something that’s customizable and easy-to-use, and if SEO is of any concern to your family member (marketing seems to be something you’re looking into) a Wordpress site is the way to go. Godaddy has great technical support, so they’re good for hosting (though their site is hell to use), and while I don’t know much about homestead, Yahoo is infamous for cookie-cutter templates. At least with Wordpress you can pick the perfect theme for you and you can find them all over the internet. Plus, as I mentioned SEO, you’ll be able to add plug ins to help you get to the top of search engines all for free.

I am going to have to agree with Chris the solution, that most people use is Wordpress running on a web host like GoDaddy, though GoDaddy is probably a cheaper host not a better one. You don’t need to know any scripting to use or install it. Once it’s up it’s as easy as Microsoft Word to use. Below is an article that explains it better and can walk you through the short installation process.
People pick this solution because it is the most powerful and adaptable, while being the easiest to use.
