A good website maker?

[nicoleb]

Does anyone know of any good website makers? I'm okay with paying a bit of money, but I don't have a lot. ^^ And I don't really know HTML, either. I wanted a nice website design. Not just black balckgrounds. I mean ones you can design yourself.

just download soem free web layouts and get dreamweaver or something along those lines

[PD Wooper]

You're forgetting that dreamweaver and co cost hundreds of pounds, let alone dollars x3

It's not so hard, start with a pre-made layout, there they will tell you where to put content. Then if you want to learn HTML just look at some sides code. I learned that way.

;) are you sure? ;)
or you can do it with one of hte geocities site builders

[Kira]

Do it in Notepad, it's very easy to learn.

You can find a good site builder at SnapFiles. Here, I'll give a direct link to the right area:

http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/webpublish/fwwysiwyg.html

Pay attention to the stars and green bars. They usually point out great programs. There's also a shareware section. Just click the link near the bottom of that page.

I do suggest learning HTML, though. It's extremely easy. Lissa Explains it All (http://www.lissaexplains.com/) and HTML Goodies (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/) are two of the best places to learn, IMO. It only took me about 6 hours to get the basics down when I learned through LEiA.

Good luck with your site, though, no matter what path you take.

Thanks, guys! ^^ I do know the (-) code. And the opther ones here. But I'm not sure if that counts in other websites.

[Golden Groudon]

About the dreamweaver thing, just plan out your website, download the trial, and start working around the clock.:P

....Noooo! Only one day left! XD

It's easier and better in the long run to just learn HTML. It's simple- just a couple of hours should get you the basics. There are hundreds of HTML editors out there for free. I recommend HTML Kit, which is powerful, easy to use, and expandable (plugins).

yeah, html kit is one of the best, it also find some of the errors you do, it has a lot of usefull features.

Notepad is a god send. Use it.

[Morkula]

But Notepad won't display a lot of stuff right (most PHP documents, i.e. when modding/skinning a forum) and doesn't have prettiful colored tags to keep everything nice and organized and easy to find. XD

[MalafeX]

sometimes when i open with notepad a php file that i want to modified, the script is display all messed up, and with html everything looks great.

[Robbie]

http://www.mpsoftware.dk/ <-- awesome, free programs for PHP and HTML. You should give them a shot.

[Marill Trainer]

If you're not that good with html and want to get a decent layed out site up pretty quickly, I suggest searching through some of those free template sites and editing the template, that's quite easy even for a beginner ^_^.

[PichuSecretBase]

Fine if you need a glorified program, I'd use HTMLKit.

[Allstories]

Learn HTML from www.lissaexplains.com

[Geometric-sama]

Nvu is a very good WYSIWYG editor. It's based off Mozilla, and is aimed to become the open-source equivalent to Dreamweaver. While it doesn't yet have the feature set of this expensive program, it's often updated, and the best you'll get for free. Get it at http://www.nvu.com/ [/advertisement mode] Oh, did I mention it's easy to use? XD

[Thomas-san]

Frontpage express is also good...just search for the name on google and you should be able to find it...

[Geometric-sama]

FrontPage Express really isn't great, unless you just want to whip up a quick page.
