Could anyone help with this question please. I want to buy software that I can design a website with. Im not great at IT so one that is user friendly is a must. Ive been told Macromedia studio 8 - Dreamweaver 8 as this is one of the best? Anyone recommend a product. Cheers. Lazyfish.
It all depends on your capacity to learn ! Dreamweaver is a very complex piece of software -- Frontpage is an old but still used one ! However if you just interested in making webpages of a personal nature with images , texts, some background music and non-complicated menus ; have a look at the CoffeeCup series of software. That would be a user-friendly one. Here:- http://www.coffeecup.com/bigcup/ There are others such as Arachnophilia here:- http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/ and HotDog 7 here:- http://www.sausage.com/products.html and Cool Page v2.72 here:- http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/index.cfm?categoryID=1473&itemID=7730 and many more ............... Dont forget that when you go hunting for a webhost to put your pages up -- quite often those people have WYSIWYG software in the package they offer. Those are really simplistic but will get you up in less then 30 minutes. Best of all , if you really want to dive into this , learn HTML coding ; there are excellent tutorials on the web if you google for them.
