What website creator is the best?

Answer 1

This question all depends on your idea of 'best'. Everyone has different requirements in a web page creator therefore the idea of 'best' can mean different things. Therefore I think it is best if we list the different creators and then list the things they do best and the advantages and disadvantages.

As you can imagine different opinions will make this list vary therefore can I ask that other Wiki Answer Members to not edit the top part and instead add your suggestion in the bottom part marked as Suggested changes.

Program Run Creator,Dream weaver, color codes your program and has a lot of different tools accommodating for 80% of all situations including server side scripting. DW CS+ has a built in Spry creator. Advantages:- Quick and Simple once you get used to it

- Nice perks like Flash Buttons

- Can directly link with a server

Disadvantages:- A little costly

- No Self browser preview (other than Client side)

- Can take up a little too much RAM

Front Page, color codes your program and has most of the general tools required. Front page seems to be good for beginners however if you want to work on a big website Front Page can fail a little. Also Front Page can help in the Linking of pages using Diagrams to try and get the idea across to other people.

Advantages:- Self browser preview

- Looks similar to Word/Publisher so it's easier for some people to understand

- Cost sometimes including with Microsoft Office

Disadvantages:-- Can get a little repetitive

- Working as a word processor style and building a web page can clash a little

- Tends to lack options

- Browser Run Website Creators

- Image Hosting
