Hi, im currently using Xsite pro to make a couple of websites but it just doesnt do it for me, what else is there available that is simple to use and you dont need much coding knowledge for? I have heard that Web Easy Pro is very good?
Depends what kind of site you're creating, what your requirements are and what your budget is. I use content management scripts myself, such as: phpfox, subdreamer, interspire article manager (commercial), and joomla (opensource) There are many online/hosted site builders and specialty scripts out there too if your looking for something specific?
Well i have next to nothing knowledge of html coding, i know a bit here and there but nothing special, so i want to go for more drag and drop if you get what im saying. I want to make a move website with forums, nothing to special.
U should search for previous threads conserning web development programs. There´s been already few threads in last two weeks. But as long as you are asking. I used Dreamweaver earlier, but now i´m using notepad++. NVU is guite good i hear and it´s free. HDaddy
Yup Dreamweaver is a pretty good program for people who don't know much about HTML. That's what I was using when I first started making web sites.
Thanks for the help guys but to use programs like notepad ++ i would i have to know html coding right?
The general consensus is that Dreamweaver is one of the best WYSIWYG editors. Just don't use Frontpage. And learning to code HTML is not hard and would be one of the things you will have to learn to start making money online.
as the others said, dreamweaver is an easy to use WYSIWYG editor, meaning you could build a webpage with very little html knowledge. I would recommend dreamweaver because it has code/design split view, so while you're designing your website you can also take a look at the code and see how it's all pieced together. HTML is one of the easiest languages to learn though, you should have no problem picking it up. best website creation software is pretty much just personal preference, i prefer notepad, but if the code is a little more advanced i'll move over to dreamweaver.
For Initial you must rely on latest CMS! which are available in market Wordpress Joomla Drupal more...
Well... since you already have that piece of bloat called Dreamweaver you might as well go ahead and use it. As for forums, you're best off going with a pre-built forum package like vBulletin (if you want to pay) or SMF (www.simplemachines.org). However, Dreamweaver DOES have a steep learning curve, and still doesn't produce the kind of code that I consider to be acceptable. Granted, it's miles ahead of the nearest commercial-grade (read: you pay $$$ for it) competitor (aside from GoLive, which I believe Adobe discontinued once picking up Macromedia), but still doesn't beat a basic text editor and the human brain. Eventually though, you'll want to start learning how to code with HTML and CSS anyway, so you understand what Dreamweaver is doing. For this I recommend "Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way with HTML and CSS" by Ian Lloyd (http://www.sitepoint.com/books). Don't trust Dreamweaver's JavaScript code - it's bloated, buggy and doesn't adhere to the standards very well because it tries to cater to every browser under the sun.
