What's a good program for web page design?

[LawyerRon]

What's a good program for the non-professional for designing web pages.
I don't know anything about html, but I've got 6 years experience in desktop publishing and am quite expert in QuarkXpress, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Think I can handle it?

The 3 most widely used are Front Page Express (free with IE4.x and up), Netscape Composer (also free with 4.x and up) and Arachnophilia (free, careware).
Read and download all about Arachnophilia/careware in the Web/Utilities section on my pages.

If you want a free HTML editor, then use either Arachnophilia or First Page 2000. If you are willing to pay for the editor, then you can't get better than Homesite. If you want a wysiwyg editor, then purchase Dreamweaver, but this is not the way to learn HTML programming.

If you want to learn HTML, the best place to start is <a href="http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index.html">Arachnophilia</a>. It has a guide on creating HTML pages in its help section.

Although it's expensive, Dreamweaver by Macromedia is a very good program. Just my .02

I use dreamweaver, u can create really good webpages quite easily. You can dload a free 30 day trial which is nice too.

LoL!
Dont use FrontPage Express, if you want to create a good website!

And if you want to have a nice and quickly loading site you MUST learn HTML and CSS. This not so hard. 2-3 days of experiments with tags and I think you be a good one.
Good luck with your first site!

Oh come on guys... tell him the professionals equipment...

"HTML for Dummies" book and Notepad...

Nothing better than those to learn how to do stuff... http://www.pcmech.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I agree Aquila! However now that I'm older and lazier, I use Net Objects Fusion, which is a superb program, it lets you lay out you web design in a flow chart format and then add the data and graphics, you can change the entire site style with the click of a button. Personally I love this program, it does have it's limitations but that'a where notepad comes in.
