Need software for creating web page in Webmasters and Developers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r13052633 en Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:32:50 EDT Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:32:50 EDT Re: Need software for creating web page http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13066149 twizlar : Agreed, CSS is deffinately the way to go for a professional, COMPLIANT website. Also for large sites it is amazing for cutting down on code. I find using php includes saves alot of code as well as you can create the shell for the site then pull all your content into it rather than havin 10 pages with menu's and headers on them, therefore the client only loads the shell once, any images etc. Learn the coding yourself or hire it out to someone who knows what they are doing, especally if it for a business don't half-ass it with a webpage builder.

Sorry if this sounds snarky, but in good conscience, I can't recommend anything. You will be selling yourself short without taking time to learn some HTML (and CSS, preferrably). If you are against learning, I recommend hiring someone that knows what they are doing and can provide you with a website that will actually help your business.
CSS is the key. I concur wholeheartedly.

If you master CSS, you can minimize the rest of the code, and maximize the effectiveness of your designs. Plus, the majority of what you'll do will be easily portable to the next job.

Plus you can acheive almost instantly with CSS what would cause a 20KB webpage to load in 12 - 15 seconds.

You can find a lot of CSS shortcuts and techniques at alistapart.

»www.alistapart.com/

I'm amazed what I've found I can do from a little bit of interest that alistapart gave me in getting rid of the old cluttered table HTML/Javascript and moving into simple CSS layouts.

Check it out.

May I suggest for Vitaman for a quick, easy down and dirty site that doesn’t look too bad and is pretty easy to do would to look at 1and1’s online website creator at »www.1and1.com

I used the online site builder for a site I wanted to get up quick and didn’t want to mess around creating from scratch. It was easy, fast and came out pretty well. Not as flexible and powerful as doing it in Dreamweaver but it was quick and easy. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13058038 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 22:31:50 EDT Re: Need software for creating web page http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13054996 Jeremy341 :

does not want anything that involves codes and html.
Web pages are code and HTML - you can't make a web page without one or the other or both. :uhh:

Probably the simplest thing for a beginner to use are WYSIWYG packages
Methinks the WYSIWYG packages are what he meant by not having to "involve" any HTML.

Web pages are code and HTML - you can't make a web page without one or the other or both. :uhh:

Probably the simplest thing for a beginner to use are WYSIWYG packages that come with a bunch of templates (FrontPage comes to mind), but you'd need to know whether the server you have in mind using has Front Page extensions available.

Since you said this is for a business (that presumably, someone would like to be profitable.) you'd be better off really learning how to do it yourself or hiring the job out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13054039 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 14:45:08 EDT Re: Need software for creating web page http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13054036 geekamongus : Forgive me for encroaching :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13054036 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 14:44:47 EDT Re: Need software for creating web page http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13053992 jDyno : Hey, hober, that's my job to bust in a preach to people! ;-)

But I totally agree. Otherwise, you wind up with a site like: »www.mattwolf.com/

There are many talented people here who might be able to help you with your site for a fee. Big Greg comes to mind. I'm sure there are others who do this for a living.

There's also this:

I can only recommend Dreamweaver in the WYSIWYG realm.
