    Talking Looking for easy website building software, need suggestions?

    Hello

    Looking for easy website building software, need suggestions?

    I’ve been looking at Web Page Maker and Web Easy Pro. I’m just starting to make a two or three page website. I do have FrontPage 2000, but I don't like it.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks, Tony.

    I've never used anything other than a text editor, but I've heard good things about Dreamweaver.

    I use mainly notepad but now and again used notepad++, I find the speed of opening the program/file is important to me as I am always opening and closing it.

    I'm afraid like others I use a text editor (UltraEdit). Really you will find that the more serious a web developer is, the more likely it is that they use some sort of plain text editors as this gives us maximum control over our code.

    Use Dreamweaver, it keeps your code clean... and its simple to switch from coding by hand to using their editor.

    I use Dreamweaver as well. Do you need a WYSIWYG or just a plain code editor?

    You can also try Microsof's newly launched web designing software " Web Expression " though just run on machines having higher versions of Windows ( higher than XP)
    Till Dreamweaver is my choice.....

    I looked at Web Easy Pro but I don't think you can edit the html very easy which makes it hard to add ads and adsense. Iuse a very basic one called NVU which can be found on Google search and is free. It is an upgrade to the old Netscape Composer. It is both a WYSIWYG and a plain editor. It does not offer drag and drop or any templates but it will do the trick and has some pretty good features.

    I would prefer Dreamweaver but it is very expensive and not in the budget right now. I bought a cheap older version on ebay but it showed up broken so still looking for a good deal on it.

    KLB, this is true if you are a coder but I get the impression from his post that he was not nor am I. I knwo basic html but not an expert so I like the help of a good WYSIWYG program.

    My point was that many of us really don't know what are good WYSIWYG programs (or don't believe good ones exist) because we don't use them.

    Hi
    I use notepad but you might like to try Arachnophilia If I remember it seemed to be a rather nice free little software unit.

    Microsoft's Visual Web Developer is a great tool to use, and gives you good control over the code. But if you are just doing straight HTML with no server side processing, I would have to agree that doing it in a text editor such as NotePad or UltraEdit works best.
