The Best Web Design Programs
Who doesn’t own a webpage nowadays? If you’re thinking about spicing up
your webpage or (heaven forbid) move your webpage off that blogging host,
consider some of these web design programs that will make mastering the art
of html a breeze (well, not exactly, but with these WYSIWYG—What you see
is what you get—tools, you’ll be a designing maniac in no time).
Dreamweaver MX
This is probably the best web design tool. Dubbed as the “Swiss Army Knife”
of web developers, Dreamweaver at first could be quite overwhelming. But
with a little practice, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.
Don’t let the “flash” and “perl” options intimidate you. What
rocks about Dreamweaver is it supports CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which
means you get to preview your work before uploading it. It also integrates
seamlessly with other Macromedia products, so if you’re a genius when it
comes to creating Flash presentations, adding them in would be a cinch.
If you’d like to learn a little bit about html, you can also split the
work screen to show the WYSIWYG screen and the HTML encoding (what better
way to learn than to see what the code actually looks like?). If html
encoding is your kind of thing, you can ditch the WYSIWYG option altogether.
And when you get really good at html, Dreamweaver offers a “code hinting”,
which displays code options as you type, as well as “Snippets”, which is
a panel that stores common pieces of html code that you always seem to need.
Dreamweaver generally takes a lot of time to learn, but take heart, Padawan.
It’s worth the training.
Microsoft Frontpage 2003
For those who love working with Microsoft Office’s tools (especially
Word), this is the web design program for you.
It’s easy-to-use interface makes it easier to access the editing features
(unlike previous editions). Just like Dreamweaver, it splits the screen to
show the html coding and the site’s lay-out. It also features CSS, which
means stacking up layers an option. Its Coding Editor also has the Microsoft
IntelliSense software, which presents possible choices for the code that you’re
laying out.
Although not offering as much eye candy as Dreamweaver, Frontpage is perfect
for small business and school projects.
Adobe GoLive 6.0
If you swear by Adobe’s products, then this is a no-brainer for you. The
format is just like any other Adobe program, so getting familiar with this
software will be as easy as pie. It also integrates all the Adobe products
in it—you’ll get to work closely with Photoshop, Illustrator, and
LiveMotion. Which means you get to drag other Adobe files into GoLive. How
sweet is that?
But as with any other Adobe program, if you’re not familiar with most
Adobe products, it needs a little time to get used to. It’s quite a
heavyweight tool, and if you’re not serious about putting up that webpage,
you might end up trading in this software for another.
