There is an absolutely wonderful html editor that is 100 percent free and in my opinion is on a par with Dreamweaver.  In some ways I find it better than dreamweaver and in others Dreamweaver is better.  The program is 1stPage 2000 and you can download it at http://www.evrsoft.com/ \n\nIt has 4 levels of user interface to help teach you the program and html programming too if you are so inclined. Fully supports ALL other programming formats, CSS, PHP, ASP, XML, etc, etc.\n\nTheir new version is out now too, although it is not free.

You will get opinions from everywhere. \n\nI think that Dreamweaver would be the best.  You might add some FLASH, using FireWorx later.  \n\nHave fun learning.

HTML kit is one of the best with lots of plugins. It also supports some advanced features only found in commercial solutions (e.g. macromedia homesite) such as built in ftp server and server mappings for server sided languages such as asp, aspx, php.\n\nIts syntax highlighting engine is descent but not the best. However, this is by far the best free solution you can get.

I agree - Mozilla Firefox is the best.  It has some unique features, such as the multi-tab browsing that allows one to view more than one site within just one browser window, and does a great job of blocking pop-ups.  This link tells you more about it:\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

ColdFusion is one of many options for building dynamic web sites.  Macromedia's suite of tools is good for people with multimedia/graphics backgrounds that want to take a step into website development, but if you're not that type of person, you could become frustrated with the the complexity of the applications.  If you enjoy logic and you did reasonably well in math courses in grade school, I'd reccommend using PHP (or ASP if you're really into windows servers).  PHP runs on Linux, Windows and other operating systems.  It's free and very scalable.  There's also a lot of support out there for it.  Combined with Apache (a free robust web server) and MySQL (a free SQL database) you can build an extremely scalable website.  Further, more companies are looking for LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) trained people than ever before.  So if you put the sweat into learning a development platform, you can use that on a resume later.\n\nColdFusion is reasonably popular but has some notable issues (namely in being a proprietary language owned by Adobe).  Support for it and licensing is just not as attractive as open-source platforms such as LAMP.

i'll go for Mambo. it is highly recommended and used by several SME's. also there's a good community developers that support it. plus, a lot of templates are existing in the internet.

These days there are 100's if not 1000's of CMS out that do exactly what you want to do. You should pick a CMS that could grow with your website and you are able to add options to it with time.\nHere are few that I have used and am very happy with them:\nMambo Open Source: Very easy to use and is very expanable. The current core team is a bit slow to fix security holes.\nJoomla!: This is a fork of Mambo. Very active core team, comes with 100's of add-ons and thems and support is outstanding.\nWebsite Baker: If you want a website where you won't be needing people to register for your website then this is the CMS you should look into. Exelect for small business and building a portfolio website.\n\nThere is also an outstanding website if you want to try out more than 100 CMS': http://www.opensourcecms.com

I've been Web programming for over seven years and have used both.\n\nHands-down, Dreamweaver is the more powerful tool for Web editing, either as a beginner or an old pro. Dreamweaver makes making Web pages pretty much easier than FrontPage does, and there's practically no support for XML or CSS in FrontPage, while Dreamweaver has huge support for both.\n\nFrontPage does make certain server-side tasks, such as sending e-mail via a form, easier than Dreamweaver does, if you have FrontPage extensions enabled on your Web site.\n\nBut the final test is simple: Look at your favorite Web sites and choose View Source Code from your browser at any home page it has.\n\nFrontPage leaves a META creator tag that says FrontPage; DreamWeaver uses MM_ in the front of all the JavaScript it creates.\n\nI bet, on your favorite sites, you almost never see the creator=FrontPage tag, but you commonly see the MM_ in the JavaScript on those pages.\n\nVery few serious Web designers / developers use FrontPage. Many use Dreamweaver; now that Dreamweaver is an Adobe product, the number of people using it is only going to grow.

I suggest that you use Dreamweaver or Front page, these are the best 2 prgrams used in webdesign. If you want to spice up your site with some dynamic effects, you can use some javascript. Tones of scripts are available online for free.\nIf you want to go a step further, you can create an interactive site, still using Dreamweaver, which offers a good deal of interactivity tools.

Why waste your time with Web Development Software where you can use already made templates to make an amazing site. I recommend Weebly at http://www.weebly.com/ which is the best in its class. You can also use Google page creator which isn't as good as Weebly but does the job. http://pages.google.com/

You could use joomla, which is a Content Management System. You can manage a site, publish information, sign in and even add more features by installing simple modules. Alls you need is an webserver supporting php and a mySQL server (most likely on the same computer).

Nvu (http://www.nvu.com) is a free WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that is the best free tool I have seen so far. It has a built in FTP (File Transfer Protocol) function so you can upload the pages you create to a web host (like Yahoo Small Business).\n\nSome web hosts also offer 'site builder' programs with their services, but I have found these to be less then desirable.\n\nAlternatively, if you have any skill (or interest in developing skill) with HTML (the markup language generally used to create web pages) then you have a wide range of free tools to choose from, here are but two:\nFTP - Filezilla - http://filezilla.sourceforge.net\nHTML Editor - NotePad ++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

Among both of them Macromedia DreanWeaver is best if you want to give your site professional look.Anyhow if you are not an expert in web designing;the better software is WebPage Maker.
