Software Options to Build a Website

 

There are choices out there for beginners, intermediate and advanced users.

Beginners

SiteSell is perfect for beginners because it takes the technobabble away and makes the site-building experience smooth, enjoyable and frustration-free. And if, at any time, you decide to become more technical, the sitebuilder can easily keep up with your newly found skills.

The SBI community welcomes you among thousands of other beginners eager to learn how to make a website. Their support, advice and motivation will prove invaluable in building your success pixel by pixel.
It gives you the tools, motivation, support and above all, the essential intelligence needed to make a website, one that shines for years to come. Good money-back guarantee (they refund you if at any time you change your mind, whenever and whatever the reason).

Intermediate

An intermediate user option is Pro:FX. I have a friend that uses this program exclusively to develop fairly sophisticated websites. I tried it but had to lean on him to learn the program's quirks. Support is not very responsive. Personally, after learning it with my friend's assistance, I felt I'd rather move up into the next tier of products, Dreamweaver and Flash, because I desired more control.

Product details: Pro:Fx hosted architecture allows them to continually offer new components and features without requiring end users to specifically update their software in order to utilize them. Users can draw on a library of pre-built components provided royalty free, including buttons, clip-art, effects, audio, etc. Customization controls are provided, allowing the user to set various parameters for each object to their liking, including color, size, transparency, and rotation. Pro:Fx offers pre-designed templates as well as a blank canvas to work with. Prices are available for every budget in monthly subscription packages.

Advanced

Those out there like me who itch for total control will want to learn Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop. While the "books for dummies" series can be a helpful addition to your library, a video tutorial is most definitely the way to go. With video tutorials alone, I learned the programs well enough to develop this and other sites, and is my creative outlet.
