I have 2 ready made website hostings but I am thinking of having a go myself.

A work coleague has purchased Xsitepro and recommends it. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Dreamweaver.

Thanks Brian.

Can you recommend any good books or courses to learn dreamweaver?

**flesso** · #4 (**permalink**) 28-06-2007, 20:14

Google it. Theres always going to be free online courses or tutorials out there to get you started.

**newbie27** · #5 (**permalink**) 28-06-2007, 20:30

Why didn't I think of that!

Cheers Flesso

Mark,

You can try the ready made web-templates from SiteBuilder (Windows) & SiteStudio (Linux).
Hope someone here has tried it once as it's rather easy way to build website hostings.

Yes I would go with Dreamweaver - but it is a bit of a learning curve if your used to using something relatively easy with less features!

yes anything you can find in a paid book you can most likely find for free on the Internet and verify it at different sources to make sure it is reliable information.

Another program you should try is NetObjects Fusion. I've had a play with it and think it's good for beginners like yourself.

i've used dreamweaver for about 2 years
although i haven't mastered all the tools, but it works fine for me....

combine it with Photoshop and Fireworks for image editting.

Can't seem to get SiteBuilder to install.

Tried the network install as well as the full download (twice) and neither has worked. It always has a problem with installing SQL Server

- the installation stops about 10% of the way in and I am baffled.
