    Hello,

    What would the best program be to make a 15 page website? With a few links and ads. Although im a graphics designer (signs ect) i'm useless with dreamweaver and photoshop ect. (I use corel draw)

    So what would the best and easiest program to use? And please, don't want one which requires months of practice!

    Thanks.

    What can I say, try MS FrontPage then. It will generate low quality code but as long as you don't bother spending some time to learn, I guess that would do for starters. At least it's easy to use, even though I would not recommend FrontPage if you were to develop a serious website.

    MS Frontpage is a handy tool if you just want to build a small website. The best feature I've found is either the ability to split the screen between code and preview - but you can really simply create buttons (with hover and click changes).

    It's what I get my editor to use - I use Smultron (Mac based HTML editor) just because it colour codes (much the same way Frontpage does) so I can easily see what's going on.

    I don't build massive websites - I maintain a comparitivley small site - but it's the easiest program to use for the job...

    If you really want to go simple - and you know a little bit about coding, and you don't have Frontpage - try MS Word - it's crap in terms of real web publishing - but if you just want a very simple site - give it a try.

    I think FrontPage is the best for simplicity and ease and use. Otherwise if you buy a dreamweaver template and learn to use the basics of dreamweaver your site can come out looking pretty good

    I have front page. I'll try and use that but it looks a little complicated. I'll have a go and thanks for everyone who posted.

    Hey don't start thinking that way :)

    FrontPage is the easiest I've seen so far. Not the best though but still can work.
