Hello everyone

If you have read my introduction you will know I am looking to learn how to build web sites for some online business ideas I have.

I have used Dreamweever in the past, learning from a book as I went but I would like to do it properly. What kind of software or code do you need these days to build a professional looking/useable web site? I have someone here at work that is telling me you can do it all now days with Dreamweever, templates from online and some help from a site called xara? for graphics I think.

Another guy I work with uses a site where they give you a template and some web space and you go on and edit your site online using some CSS code (which he tells me is easy to learn)

there seems to be so many formats/codes/ways of doing it these days!

Ay advice is welcomed :-)

Dreamver 8.0 is good for learner. Use adobe photoshop and flash 8 to make template, logo.
These software is good for starter, who don,t know anything about web designing. Download tutorial, read it carefully. within 10-15 days make a handsome web site himself. No need to expand much in these work.

thanks for the reply Raj

I have Dreamweever MX is this allot different to 8.0 ?

No it is not...
Bu I advice everybody to go with the ready cms systems like wordpress or joomla.
I made two business web sites with wordpress and works great. And so much easier.

I have just signed p with Xilo and am going to try using Joomla ti build a site. I know nothing about it so wil learn as I go, never used wordpress.

Wordpress is simplier but joome is quite simple too. good luck and do not forget get support from joomla team..

I recommend you use wordpress also, its very simple to use, and search engines love it, so you will rank well, its very simple to add content and get up and running.

Joomla also offers a great CMS like stated above, there are many great addons for joomla, and it no doubt one of the best CMS programs out there.

Dreamweaver CS4 is a very good web design program, it seems they have made a lot of changes since MX or 8. Infact the CS4 package is awsome.

One more thing. If you really want to success on that, nothing will stop you. You can learn to do miracles within Notepad. Well, Maybe Notepad++ It has code highlighting and has everything you need for coding.

Programs like Dreamweaver usually hide most actions from user. I think it would be better for you to learn coding from scratch and then move to Dreamweaver. It will help you to get a strong background.
