| 663018 | 2008-04-27 05:48:00 | Hello all. Could you please advise what is good, easy to use software to help me design a web page. Thanks. Many web hosts provide a site builder, to allow you to put up a website with very little knowledge, via your normal web browser. The main one people use is dreamweaver, but it can take a while to learn how to use, and designing a website is a learning experience. |

| 663020 | 2008-04-27 06:14:00 | You can start easily with a web editor like the popular free NVU ( Then maybe start by signing up with a free host, e.g. Netfirms Basic from http://www.netfirms.com/" target="_blank">www.nvu.com/) or the advanced Dreamweaver. Then maybe start by signing up with a free host, e.g. Netfirms Basic from http: or the popular http://www.110mb.com/ Many free hosts have their own free web editors. Perhaps download and use a free template from one of many templates web sites, e.g. http://www.steves-templates.com/ then up load your site to your host (use a free FTP program to upload your site - e.g. core FTP). Then you can promote it in forums, search engines, directories, etc, if you want. You could start with a blog as well, e.g. try the Google’s blogger or the advanced wordpress (which you can add plugins for enhancement), or use the simple Google Page Creator (You need a Gmail account) - easy to set up for a beginner. I have made several basic sites with Google Pages, but also learnt to modify the basic page formats... Later on though, it might pay to learn html/JavaScript/PHP etc, which allows more flexibility to design and modify your web site. Then maybe upgrade to a paid host and domain, which will possibly yield more features (scripting, bandwidth, increased storage space, email accounts, etc) and more ownership of your site...

| 663022 | 2008-04-27 08:56:00 | Hi Parrot - do a Google on Kompozer which has replaced NVU. :thumbs: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 663023 | 2008-04-27 22:52:00 | Replaced? Really? I'd vote you do a bit of reading up on some basic HTML and use something such as NVU or KompoZer and use that :) |
