What software do you use to create your website?

Front Page 2000

HTML and Notepad

I bought Dreamweaver not long after I got Front Page but it was way to complicated. I still have it somewhere on CD and I might try it again someday.

 

What do you like about the program (software)?

Not really sure. It's the one I started with and I tend to stick to things I know.

At first I couldn't wrap my head around it because the tutorials that came with the program only showed you how to do one style of web page. So I bought Dreamweaver and was even more lost.  So I took to learning HTML and Notepad.

I surfed around the internet and found pages that had elements that I liked and I viewed their sourcecode and edited and tweaked it to fit my needs. In time I picked up on how to create my own code.

Eventually I stumbled upon a book that walked me through the entire Front Page program and I found it was way more functional than the included tutorials showed. So with my new found knowledge of the program and my understanding of HTML, I was well on my way to making web sites. I am dyslexic and have a hard time with creating HTML, so I generally use Front Page to create the base code, and I go and tweak it as I need to.

I have a hard time learning programs so when I get comfortable with one, I tend to stick with it. Hence using a program that is about 13 years old!   Though I haven't reinstalled it on my new computer with Windows 7. I'm hoping it will still be comptatable. 

 

What do you NOT like about the program (software)?

I'm sure if I were more developoed in web page design that I would find things to not like about the program.  But for what I use it for, it works well enough for me.

If you could change something in the program, i.e., add, delete, modify, etc., what would you change?

I'd include better tutorials to show that the program can actually produce more than one web page style.**

Or, do you use an ouside service (vendor), that is, you do not produce the html code for your website? If you do, who do you use?

I want to create another web page, but I want it in CSS which I don't understand at all.  So sometime next year I'm going to look around for a local firm to price one out for me.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
