I have used moonfruit.com in he past and they are fab. They do various upgrades, but their basic, free site hosting is really good and part of it is a really easy-to-use site builder.
I use Weebly.com, it is much better and easier to use than Wordpress. You just drag and drop and you can also get your own domain name easily and cheaply. Check it out!
Using wordpress you can set up a website for free and make a professional looking websites. But if you are looking to use for business purposes, you may have to spend a little to buy a domain name and hosting but that doesn’t cost too much. Check out wordpress.com for more details. Happy to provide more info by email if you wish.
@ Lamadxb: no license required to make a website. You just need to buy the domain (i.e the name of your website) and hosting services.
