Dream weaver can allows users to preview websites in many browsers, to show an example of what there website would exactly look like. Dream weaver can also provide some site management tools, such as aspects to find and replace lines of text or code by whatever parameters specified across the entire site, the software also has feature for creating multiple pages with similar structures which can be useful.
Furthermore it can also enable use of basic JavaScript without any coding knowledge. The Software I will be researching and looking at is the Microsoft office FrontPage.
FrontPage is a WYSIWYG html editor and a website administration tool from Microsoft. In comparison to macromedia’s Dream weaver software it has the WYSIWYG editor, again this allows FrontPage to hide the details of html codes from the user making it more possible to create a web page or a website better.
Some of the features on this software are the help navigate through a site and lets you see the file structure and its contents visually. It also has a built in features for html, CSS and JavaScript. It is also compatible with Microsoft image composer. This allows the user to create original artwork or modify existing graphics for use in a user’s web.
There are many different software’s that you can use while on the web, these are quick and easy to do in order to build a website but don’t give you a good range of features like dream weaver and Microsoft front page. In my further research into the existing website builders I came across a website builder. This website builder allows you to design and publish web pages in minutes. HTML can be an optional when creating and no special coding is required.
Other features a user could do would be to upload images, media files, PDF’s and more through the simple interface. It gives you a professional look with the included pre-designed templates.
In addition to building and publishing a website, their software includes a full suite of community features. They provide notice posts on upcoming events with fully customizable descriptions to an event calendar. The use the bulletin boards to post messages and files, with a variety of moderation options.
Software programs would include Microsoft word, word is one of the easiest programs to use in creating a website. But one of the easiest mistake users make when using word is not saving it in its right hyperlink. Other programs would include Microsoft PowerPoint etc….
