Software to make simple website

coinchaser

Hello
Wondered if anyone had any advice. I want to make a simple website - no need for money transactions. I was going to get Mr Site but I saw it had quite a lot of bad reviews on Amazon. Can anyone else recommend something simple? thanks in advance

If its just a simple website then go for notepad and use google for tutorials. Free and easy

No need to faff around with learning HTML / notepad route

Simple site, try free Serif webplus http://www.serif.com/freedownloads/

Or free Net Objects Fusion Essentilas http://netobjects.com/html/essentials.html

Both are earlier versions of their current offerings, but for simple site and cutting your teeth so to speak

I started with

Then after I'd sussed the (very) basics, I used KompoZer.

I've just up dated mine with a bit of text some images and a few links to more photos.

If it's a basic site, I'd keep it simple and use a text editor (such as Notepad) to create HTML and CSS files. You can spend ages fannying around with complex web-design software, but can get a simple HTML/CSS page done in a few minutes.

Have a look at w3schools.com for HTML and CSS tutorials (as well as Javascript, ASP, PHP, etc. if you want to take things further...).

Here's one thats gets good reviews and looks easy to use:

Not terribly ethical - but I usually find a website that has approximately the right layout, grab the source code and edit it to fit what I want. Saves having to code from scratch.

I find Microsoft Frontpage is a wonderfully easy what you see is what you get website creation tool.
Long obsolete now, I wonder what replaced it for sheer simplicity but functional too?

Im pretty sure it was expression web thats replaced it, i too found frontpage very easy to use and do still use it although i am tempted to use dreamweaver as an upgrade to it.

+1 for expression web, from my previous frontpage experience pages usually turned out looking like a clipart nightmare lol gifs, marquis, funny cursors and horrible sounds were that ever came from frontpage, i think expression web has grown up a lot and i used it to design internal pages for a company i used to work for.
