Easy Website Design Software to build your new Business Site
- User Review and comparison
All of my recommendations for website building software are in the WYSIWYG category (What You See Is What You Get) These Web Page Editors require a minimal amount of HTML knowledge and actually have a "look and feel" very similar to many word processing programs, which makes for a faster learning curve.
My Free and easy Website Design Software Top Pick - (Now a Tie for # 1)
Our current favorite easy-to-learn-and-use Free WYSIWYG web page design, building, and editing program is the lastest version of KompoZer -- an "open source" program which has been "de-bugged" and enhanced from the prior Nvu web page editor many have probably heard of.
I tested the 0.7.10 Version of KompoZer before recommending it to a small organization that was doing some work for a few months ago, and found it to be a very powerful, but yet easy to learn program. It is much more stable than the prior Nvu version I had used before. It has a much faster learning curve than the very comprehensive $300 Adobe GoLive CS2 that have been using! -- (which I got online for a big discounf off of the full retail price!)
If I hadn't already purchased and learned to use Adobe CS2, I would probably be using the latest version of the free KompoZer easy website design software. (As of 12/20/07 - Version 0.7.10) Others that are now using KompoZer also report that they have found it is easy to learn and use.
You can read extensive Info on and download the free latest "non-beta" 0.7.10 version released 8-30-2007 at Kompozer.net (This is the version of the program I tested and would recommend, plus now have trained some users on.) - Read all the Info Tabs -- particularly the "Features" tab.
There is also a helpful Nvu - KompoZer User Forum where you can read tips from other users plus ask questions.
Since the program is "open source," it means that updates will come out as the "group" working on the program finishes them, so don't expect a bunch of e-mails announcing the latest version. Just check back to the KompoZer site every few months to see if there are any new update Versions to download.
$49 Website Building Software - a close 2nd pick -- Now a Tie for # 1 !!!
I have also used the free trial 2007 version of CoffeeCup WYSIWYG Web Page Editor and would rate it a very close second to (now with 2008 version) -- Tie or even slightly better than KompoZer in ease of learning and use.
Just recently re-tried out the latest 2008 version of the CoffeeCup Software mentioned above and was very impressed! -- "Intuitive" to learn and works great, with many features! May start using it to build pages that are hosted at SBI.
It has a number of fairly powerful features (+ several new ones in the 2008 version!) -- plus you get a lot of free templates, gifs, and scripts and free lifetime upgrades with CoffeeCup -- still for the cheap $49 price. CoffeeCup also gets very favorable User Reviews -- including mine! It also has good Tech and Forum Support.
You can read more about the features of the WYSIWYG CoffeeCup 2008 Version Web Design Software at this link, plus info on their 30 day free trial software download.
Notice that CoffeeCup also has a user forum where you can read tips from other users and get help. They also have a page of links to HTML Editor Videos you can watch, plus several helpful articles on using various features of the easy to use CoffeeCup website design software.
The "Block-Building" online Page & Site Building program - free with SBI Hosting
The integrated SBI Hosting package comes with many features other than just Site Hosting. One of those features is an online "You need to know nothing about HTML coding" "Block-builder" program to create and upload great looking web pages using your choice from a selection of "pre-done" SBI Site Templates. See more on this at this SBI Quicktour Slideshow (Note particularly slide #'s 4 and 5.)
You can start with the "Block-builder" and then after a while if you want more page design options, "graduate" to one of the two easy to learn "What You See is What You Get" HTML web page building and editing programs listed above which also work fine with SBI Hosting. This is what I do now. More on the various integrated features of the SBI package at the "Video Shortcut 2 1/2 minute Tour. SBI has excellent and usually fast online e-mail Tech Support plus also great support Via their many Forum topics from other "old timer" SBI users.
I have used the more complex and harder to use Adobe CS2 web page Editor program + also the free "KompoZer" Software to build some web pages that have used with SBI Hosting. Both work fine.
