Description

Sproutbuilder from http://sproutbuilder.com is a quick and easy way for anyone to build, publish, and manage widgets, mini-sites, mashups, banners and more. These can be any size and any number of pages. You can include video, audio, images and newsfeeds and choose from dozens of pre-built components and web services.

You do not need to learn flash or do programming, it's a visual drag and drop tool and is easy to learn and use. The flash .swf file that is produced can be displayed in your wikidot site inside an iframe.
