questions on creating a webpage

[Eldros]

Hi there,

Well, I will throw in my two cents for the support of using coffeecup, HTMLKit, and another called HomeSite which I belive is now part of Macromedia's Dreamweaver. I tend to use non-WYSIWYG editors(what you see is what you get). Being a programmer, I am picky about code formatting.... sometimes. I will throw out one idea for you though that is simple, fast, and great looking. If you know or have access to Adobe Photoshop CS*, you can use a built in website generator to create a website in mere seconds. They have a lot of different styles from Flash to HTML to Javascript options. It is always a quick way for me to throw my pics straight from my camera to the web for friends. If you have access and need instructions on how to use this feature, just let me know!

I use Dream Weaver (now owned by Adobe). My web host offers a free site builder as part of the plan. I think many do, I don't know it they are worthe a lick but I bet others here might know.

Has anyone used "VCOM Web Easy Professional 7" or do you know anything about it. I have frontpage on our computer, it seems way above my limited computer skills, and I just don't have the time to spare away from the bench to learn how to use it. From what I have read easy web is very straight forward and quick. They advertise that you can have a site up in hours. I do realize that in most cases if it sounds to good to be true that it may be.

Thanks Much

Steve

I had a client ask me to build a website with WebEasy.

I hate that software, and would rather code pages from scratch than jump through all the hoops. That is just my humble opinion, and someone else might find it useful and easy to figure out.

*the owner of this site takes care of it now, not me. I shared the link as an example of a website built with that software.

I wonder why it should matter to a client what you use to create the pages, as long as the design specs are met? It's all html in the end.

Over the years, i have had a couple of webpages... the first was designed using a template that my internet provider provided, the second was using Front Page Express, which was included on the computer I had at the time, but is no longer available. Both created simple websites, which was all I need. i think the total site was 8-10 pages, with probably 40 pictures.

For you folks that have webpages, what is a good software that is just "plug and play"?

I just want a simple site that is easy to update... Any suggestions?

thanks

I have just been down this road and I found that I got the best results doing it the hard way. Just use html and css with a simple editor. Note pad has been used to create some awesome sites.

A good place to get started is the w3Schools tutorials. Google w3c for their url.

Thanks Sidney... I always hate it when the best way to do stuff is the old fashion way - WORK!

On another note, I see you are from south callahan county... my wife grew up in cross plains and her parents now live between Cross Plains and May.. and my family is from Brownwood - and my last name is Wood... no kin that I am aware of, but heck you never know...

Welcome to the site.
