Could you advise software for website design. What is considered to be good widely used tool for unsophisticated web design in our days? Main requirement: software should be good by itself and easy to use. Should be for Windows. Could be opensource or payware. Don't need advanced features such as online payment, database connections, etc. Shouldn't embed stupid banners like "designed by xxxx" into HTML or require service subscription.

It is free, open source, multi-platform and extensible. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/features#composer describes Composer saying: "SeaMonkey's powerful yet simple HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your documents and website projects, Composer is all you need."

When we redid the company webpage we looked into a few different fancified integrated tools, and played with them for a bit. We ultimately settled on doing it all by hand with a humble text editor. The tools all had a nasty habit of tying themselves in knots, and couldn't be convinced to not generate horrible tangled things loaded down with unnecessary Javascript. You start by building up a simple CSS template, and a couple of basic server side includes for headers/footers/sidebars/etc. Once you've pushed the formatting responsibilty off onto the CSS, writing HTML natively rather than working with some WYSIWIG thing really just doesn't add much overhead. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology -- www.highlandtechnology.com Email address domain is currently out of order.

Vladimir, really depends what you would like to do.. why not changing to a CMS (content managing system) like joomla, where you deal with the content and not with the programming... and change your look and feel trough the visual template like a snap. just my 2 cents Hp hpw-works.com Am 27.06.2013 05:39, schrieb Vladimir Vassilevsky:> > Could you advise software for website design.
