There are a lot of different kinds of software for making websites, so someone who wants to be a web designer might find it hard to decide which one to use. We will look at Front Page, Dreamweaver, and Adobe GoLive, which are three of the most popular programmes for making websites. All three have easy-to-use interfaces and a lot of options for both beginners and experts, so you can make the website of your dreams with any of them. Most website hosting companies will accept the final results of all three programmes, but you will still need to make sure that your website works with different web browsers.
Front Page
It's a natural choice for many web designers, in part because it's part of the Microsoft Office family and has a workspace they're already used to. There are a lot of buttons, keyboard shortcuts, and actions that are the same as those in Word or Excel. Formatting text in Front Page is easy, and it almost feels like you are doing it in Word. The Insert/Picture command is also available, which makes it easy for the user to add pictures to the web page. Even though many professional web designers see Front Page as basic software, you can still use the HTML view to improve your page.
Dreamweaver
offers a lot more high-end features and is the one most web designers choose. When you use HTML features, you have more freedom to make your website better. The design and code split view is a very useful option. It lets you see how changes you make to the source code change the design in real time. With Macromedia Dreamweaver, you can make everything from the simplest web pages to pages with a lot of Java apps and Flash elements. You can also check the final result in different browsers. This is a very important step that lets you adjust the website so that it works with as many browsers as possible. It is also a great programme for people who are just starting out because it has a WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) interface. This lets people make websites without knowing HTML code. But if you know how to code in HTML, you can make sites that look better.
Adobe GoLive
Web designers who are used to working with other Adobe products like Photoshop or Illustrator like to use to make websites. The Adobe workspace makes this programme easier to learn and makes it easy to combine elements from different programmes. Most of the time, the graphics for a website are made in Photoshop, and they are easily moved into GoLive's workspace with a simple drag-and-drop. GoLive is a great choice if you want to make a great-looking website because it works well with other Adobe graphic design products.
