[Not-A-Geek-Needs-Help]

Ok, so I've spent HOURS researching the best WYSISYG website builder to use for a new business venture. I had settled on Wordpress simply because enough people had mentioned it and I was tired of looking. But when I tried to download it, it's in a winzip folder that's all gibberish to me.
So: I am building a business website to present a service. (This is not a blog.)
I do need the capability to have lots of pictures.
I do not need hosting, as I will be using my mom's hosting site.
I use a PC with Windows 7.
I do not know what I'm doing. Therefore I need something uber simple to use. (Something similar to say Wix, but without hosting.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good tool to use?

Wordprerss uses PHP. To run and edit PHP files, you would need to install XAMMP ( XAMPP ( <a href='http://www.apachefri...pp-windows.html' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.apachefri...indows.html</a> ) is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. A popular alternative on Windows is WampServer [ <a href='http://www.wampserver.com/en/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.wampserve...ver.com/en/</a> ]. ) on your computer. As for the WinZip file, it is a compressed file which has to be unzipped using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip ( How Do I Unzip a File in Windows Vista ). Also, Wordpress is a Content management System and not a WYSISYG website builder.

If you are going with a business page on your mom's own site, you will be using a sub-domain under her domain name. Not a good idea for a business. Best to get your own domain name and hosting. If you want a WYSISYG website editor, take a look through these:
