What I'd like to know, is there a web design program that's not tied to an ISP or hosting service?

Wix, Wordpress, they all seem to be selling domain names and hosting services.

I'd like a standalone program that I can use offline, then FTP the files to my host (using a standalone FTP program -- I use IPSwitch WS_FTP Pro).

MS Expression Web 4 is old, released in 2010. I'd like a newer one, with templates and drop & drag.

Use GoDaddy.com to get your WWW name and get Apache to be your website software.

https://peacebyjesus.net/ (for desktops) was all created using Apache Open Office and then LibreOffice. Install and open up a word document, write all you text, and use tables if you want as I did, click on Properties etc. for color formatting, etc. and save it (using all lowercase and as one word) as a web page (html). You can also export it as a PDF to save it all at it appears if you want.

You will need to learn how to make such mobile friendly (by placing tags btwn the and section as explained here and do so by and opening the document in a text editor as notepad, and saving it.

Not all my pages (over 300) are mobile friendly due to reasons I do not know, and what may look OK on one device may not on another.

I used to get about 4,000 views a week, but after my host discontinued, and with the growth of mobile devices then it is about a couple dozen that are counted, but I use them to link to in debates.

For hosting, I use https://www.freehostia.com/ and https://hpanel.hostinger.com/. The former is better.

You can also do (Google) blogger.com as I have. , by the grace of God. You can just past the html to create a page (name it) or use the compose (top left) and paste the text as formatted.

But use for good in the sight of God, to Him be the glory in Christ.

One section of mine:
