Website building SW?
After some recommendations/tips. Building my own site, nothing fancy, just about a half dozen pages with some links/information/ contact form etc. Got a couple of freebie packages but none seem too brilliant and I find that most of the time I've been playing with Frontpage (from Office 2K!). Plus some manual html stuff.
From what I understand CSS is the way to go? But the freebies tend to ignore these and you end up with a convoluted single file. I'd like a package that is WYSIWYG in the main. I coded years ago and don't see why, in this day and age, why I should have to go back to it in order to pull together some fancy pictures! (Though, yes, I am realistic and will probably have to hack *some* html!).
So, recommendations for SW (that doesn't cost the earth or is free)?
Cheers
Dave

I've had a dabble with a few pieces of software in the past and haven't found anything perfect. Dreamweaver, Adobe golive,, flash - all a pain in the *** with different results.
I use Golive at the moment - it isn't cheap but it allows me to manage and update multiple html sites well. And fancy work that I require, I complete in flash and drop it in the site.
You might be able to get a 30 day trial of any of these?
I think you can put together sufficient, basic sites using word with wysiwyg...

Generally whenever I create a website, I create everything by hand using a text editor (UltraEdit, Notepad++ etc). Not found a single wysiwyg editor worth getting without spending some serious pennies.

Used Weebly - Create a free website and a free blog before now to create a basic one. It's an on-line web site creator and they host it too. You can point your own domain to it if you want to. Found it very easy to use etc.
Ended up subscribing to the pro version as I wanted to password protect pages etc.
