Dreamweaver is by far and away the best but it takes a bit of learning to get the best out of it.

Try http://www.namo .com or http://www.serif.co.uk (web Plus) or even http://www.xara.com as that has now got wysiwyg web building facility and it can do roll overs and flash.

could try installing wordpress then just modyfying a template

Well I started getting into Joomla, alternative to wordpress route but Joom does help a fair bit but may take a learning curve to learn it.

not exactly easy but i am getting there in the end
making the map extention show more than one address is a little difficult but what the hell, if you cant learn something new then you will get bored too easily

I use FrontPage – easy WYSIWYG and fine if you like to work ‘live’.
Basic Microsoft interface…

SNAP,
Use FrontPage too, very easy and has an in-built publish feature. Keep it simple and change things round on a regular basis………

it can also be collected for an administration fee of the same.
hang on what am I doing, It isnt for sale I want it. :lol1:

I always wanted it, I just haven’t had time to use it.
Lol Im not gonna spend £1800 on software and not ever use it, Im just so busy at the minute, if I had a ecommerce site I would end up in the same state as another supplier on here who has upset a few customers, so we will wait till were ready I think. -
I use notepad.
Nothing like a bit of html and php. 😀
-
Notepad doesnt put an automated shopping cart on your website that connects directly to HSBC’s secure payment gateway for easy credit card payments, and do your reorder levels and stock levels for you :lol1:
-
Steve,
My website doesn’t reorder stock etc.
But it takes orders, takes automated payments via credit card and processes them through our egateway, lets us as production staff manage the status of orders.
It has automatic online quoting for any product that requires a width and a height and a quantity, stickers, banners etc.
It also has a shopping cart and lets customers register accounts.
The only programs I used were notepad and photoshop to do my graphics in.
So it can be done. But I’m a nerd.
-
Im an ASP.NET nerd… no notepads for me lol… but main site is in php and someone else does that.
-
Dave I did .net at uni c# didn’t like it at all. I preferred Java over c# .net combo.
I’m getting into Ruby on Rails at the moment. You should look into it. Rapid development or what. Has object relationship mapping built in. No nasty sql to learn. It also generates your mvc model for you also.
-
And Im a sucker for an easy solution.
which I havent even used yet and been paying 20 quid a month for 2 years for
lol
maybe notepad is the way forward -
I have just come across microsoft office live, seems you can use this to build and host a website, anyone know if its any good.

it is rapid… the error messages are the problems. i think its easier to develop in php (if your familar with it) but im from a VB background so was easier transition. SQL Store procedures is easy. I would look at Ruby stuff but not this time… I am developing with ASP.NET and AJAX
-
Which ever method you use for building your website, the most important thing is your content , meta tags etc..
its no good having great looking website if no one can find it .the best way to go is to have a site built specifically for you which will have the content and code and has been search engine optimized for specific keywords and phrases .
