I have used Frontpage quite a bit to make amateur websites. It was very easy to learn and use. However now a days its really outdated. So which WYSIWUG editor is easiest to migrate to from frontpage? Can someone please suggest?
Wow... you shouldn't be making webpages if you need a WYSIWYG editor. Really. Harsh, perhaps, but it's the truth. The thing is, it's not hard to learn. It will involve some frustration, and a bit of trial and error, but if you put some time into it, you will make better websites in the end. Have a look at http://www.cutcodedown.com for instance. But, okay - if you really think that websites can be made using WYSIWYG editors, I guess Dreamweaver is the only option out there, really. It produces horrible code, and shouldn't be used, EVER, but fine...
So is Frontpage and Dreamweaver - none of them does a job even close to being "good". Haven't tried Bluegriffon, but looking at the code for their page, which they for some reason totes as being made with Bluegriffon, like that should be some sort of quality-mark... it's horrid. No sense of correct semantics, CSS in the header going on for miles, multiple javascript files thrown in here and there... Granted, they have used a table for an actual table, I'll give them that, but they've forgotten about <thead> and <tbody>, and so on... The navigation/menu is horrid as well - <p>-tags instead of an unordered list (<ul>), and... nope. Sorry.
WP is what I am trying now It is nice and does the job but I can't customize it as easily as html in Frontpage. Dreamweaver does have a learning curve, not as easy as FP. Bluegriffon is another one that I tried but their software is a notch below dreamweaver which is what I will have to learn I guess
WordPress has awesome support because so many people use it. Once you get familiar with the platform and the different themes/plugins you can use, there is no going back. It has a small learning curve as well, all you really need to know is HTML.
With the time it is going to take to learn DreamWeaver or any other bloated code producing program, you can learn basic html and css. Ask me how I know this . . . If you are willing to invest the time and effort into learning another program, why not put that same time and effort into learning to code a page/site on your own and doing correctly to produce a lean, mean website machine? Just saying . . .
Thanks everyone who posted here. I have started nibbling on wordpress. It has some ease to it but there is a lot to learn. One thing I really miss about FP is the ease it offered for novice to start
