Is there a website-creating program--cheap, flexible (no coding) and good?
-
The subject request--for a website-creating program that's cheap, good, and does not require coding--may seem unlikely. But I have one, Website Complete, from Godaddy, a domain name registry/hosting company; and the program is very good. Has a number of templates, includes graphics, has some animation, etc.; all limited, but they all work. However, it has some drawbacks: It does not work effectively on Macs. Just as importantly, it's a bit clunky and seems to be giving me problems with buttons. (There's no feature allowing the update of buttons for all pages at once--which seems like an essential. Without it, you can waste much! time whenever you add a page. I'm having a lot of trouble with this feature, indeed.) Does anyone know a good alternative program? I know that Yahoo offers one. But is it good? I don't have time to learn 5 or 6, looking for a good one. Thanks. This is really an ASAP thing, since I'm hoping to use a site for business purposes.

Answer:
Hi BBB! "Freeway" (by Softpress Systems Ltd) is the one for you! I use it myself and I recommend it highly!! From the "Feature Tour" page: "Drag-and-drop virtually any type of content straight on to your page. Use native Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7, GIF, JPEG, Quicktime, MPEG and SWF file formats. You can even drag-and-drop MP3s from iTunes right into your Freeway page! And if you need to re-create an existing Web site, simply drag the elements directly from your browser into Freeway." Take the feature tour and see for yourself: http://www.softpress.com/en/freeway/feature_tour They offer two programs "Freeway Express" and "Freeway Pro", though Freeway Express (which starts at $89) should do the job for you. With Freeway Pro you can use Advanced Site Tools (FAST) which "...let you extend your Web sites and express your creative vision on-line in new and exciting ways. Build complex DHTML menus without fuss, create and modify graphics, or build billions of buttons, all without switching to another application, or writing a line of code." http://www.softpress.com/en/buy_now/3x_to_pro Freeway Express costs to $89.00 download, but you can download free time-limited demo versions of all the products. "Download free, time-limited demo versions of all our products. Experience first-hand the power and intuitive ease of Freeway Pro and Freeway Express. You?ll never want to edit HTML by hand again, or suffer through the frustration of seeing your design utterly fall apart in a browser." http://www.softpress.com/en/downloads Free trial download page http://www.softpress.com/en/downloads/free_trial Product price list http://www.softpress.com/en/buy_now/price_list They also provide Tutorials, Templates (which you can add content, or tweak), buttons, actions and more - They also have an excellent support service! Here are some reviews: Freeway Express 5 out of 5 ?Whether you are a novice working on a personal site or a professional looking for a tool with more on-demand power, Freeway Express is well worth a look.? ?[Freeway Express] is one of the only inexpensive Web authoring tools for the Mac that is both powerful and easy to use, and it can yield stunning results.? - MacHOME Freeway Express 4 stars/8.7 ?Freeway Express [is] designed for people that want more than what?s on offer from .Mac, but don?t want to devote their time to high-end and complex applications such as Dreamweaver and GoLive.? ?If you?re looking for something inexpensive to build Web sites, then Freeway Express offers unbeatable value.? - Macworld http://www.softpress.com/en/freeway/reviews I've tried the rest but I've stuck with Freeway. This is my personal recommendation, and I wouldn't look elsewhere. ...And "no", I don't work for Softpress! ;-) I hope you'll agree with my verdict! regards, JACKBURTON-ga Google Answers Researcher ---------------------- Search strategy: Personal experience with Freeway.
