Free, simple Web developmemnt Software

raptormonkey · 7 Oct 2009 at 19:20

I am after a free bit of software to build a very simple 2 or 3 page website. Any ideas? I don't know HTML so that is out of the question.

I used to use 'Frontpage'. Thanks

What is the site for ? What features do you want on it ?

Could you not learn simple HTML - I learned some very basic code a while back and it really isn't all that hard and you will end up with better results knowing it than not.

Why don't you just use frontpage?

It's better than any free WYSIWYG editors.

As stated, don't know HTML. Just want a simple web site software building tool etc.

Not got Frontpage anymore!

If it's just two or three pages, get the trial for Expression Web or Dreamweaver.

Have you thought of something like wordpress? I use it for all my sites such as www.the-pier.co.uk

BURN THE HERETIC!!!

Have you seen what code that POS makes?

Used it years ago and made 2 nice websites back then.

I bet the code makes baby Jesus cry because it'll only work on IE

Hey, it could be worse. Wasn't it MS Publisher that simply made one huge GIF when you told it to "export" a page to HTML?

raptormonkey · 7 Oct 2009 at 22:53

I use Publisher!!

Don't tell me that sucks too!!

I know I know

, but OP said "HTML is out of the question" and "I've used frontpage before", so why not use frontpage again if he's familiar with it?

Notepad? I used notepad when first learning HTML, good times

Microsoft Expression Web, or a trial of Adobe Dreamweaver.

You're not going to code a brilliant site using any graphical tools alone, but the above two should be better than the rest. Don't use Frontpage - it makes awful code.

MS Expression Web looks great. Will try that. Thanks everyone for your help.
