kgbaseball Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'm looking to start a simple website for my roster and Total Portraits, among other things, and I need a WDT to do so. What should I use? Keep in mind I have no experience using this stuff, and I have no idea how to write any scripts. I'm a fast learner, but using the easiest tools possible would be the way to go. Any suggestions? Freeware would be nice. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/31091-web-development-tools/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsox Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I would recommend Dreamweaver. I have played around with it and its quite easy to use. You can also try out MS Frontpage, though I am not sure how good it is - never tried it before.

Guildster Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Serif has an easy to use Free version of WebPlus. It's a wysiwyg interface so you don't need to know HTML, Js, etc., but it helps if you do. I think it even comes with some templates. I use their latest version professionally and have for a couple of years now. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/31091-web-development-tools/#findComment-444364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro23 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 ROFL at jhath. That's how I started out. I learned my basic HTML that's for sure. :smile: If you want something that is free and in the same area of say FrontPage and Dreamweaver you can take a look at NVU.

Guildster Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 He doesn't need Dreamweaver to do what he wants to do. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/31091-web-development-tools/#findComment-444372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
themewin Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Like others have said, torrent Dreamweaver CS3. Download some website templates and tweak and change a bunch of stuff. Or you can totally revamp and take some ideas from others and add your own twist. But Dreamweaver makes it all easy.

Dan Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I insist on Notepad. Best way to make a website is get your hands dirty with HTML. That's how I learned. But whatever you do, PLEASE don't use FrontPage. I've had horrible experiences with it, mainly something like this: -dan P.S. don't use tables in HTML. baaad juju.

seanzarelli Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I use Dreamweaver and Frontpage, depending on the mood I'm in. Also, CSS is fun to play with, but you need to code it differently to display the same in both Firefox & IE, which is where I'm having problems.
