Lycos has launched a new web page builder called Webon. The service appears to be the latest salvo in Lycos's mission to remind people that the once powerful web portal still exists. A few weeks ago Lycos also updated its Lycos Cinema media player to allow users to chat in real time while watching movies together over the web.

Webon is sort of like a cross between Google Page Creator and Google's Blogger. There are a variety of templates for creating several different types of web page. You can make a standard home page, create and update a blog, a photo album, a travelogue, or a wedding web site. No HTML knowledge is necessary. You just pick a template and start adding content. You can customize the look and feel of your site by adding widgets or custom HTML code.

You can try out Webon without signing up for the service, which is a nice touch. But if you want to publish your page for the rest of the world to see, you're going to need to register for a free or paid account. Free sites are hosted at username.webon.com, while you can register a custom URL (username.com) for $8.95/month. While that might seem a bit steep, the Webon personal plan also lets users upload an unlimited number of images. Yeah, it still seems kind of steep.
