HTML Editors; FrontPage, Dreamweaver

In order to make changes to the templates and start building your website, it is recommended that you use a medium to high-quality WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") editor. We highly recommend using an HTML editor such as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia dreamweaver.

FrontPage is a very powerful software platform that almost anyone can use, even with no prior knowledge of HTML. Also, any version of FrontPage is preferred over the basic HTML editors available on the net.

Furthermore, if you plan on building a site larger than 10 pages, Microsoft FrontPage has a ‘page insert’ device that allows you to insert the ‘page insert’ into the space you’d like. For instance, the navigation bar ‘page insert’ from the page with the actual navigation toolbar you created earlier is placed inside.

Frontpage will know to open the page in that very spot so even if you had 200 pages with that page insert tag, you only would have to edit just the one ‘original’ page and that would edit all of it’s inserted tags on every other page. (You can ‘insert’ as much as you want on the same page to make your editing a breeze).

This software along with dreamweaver is available for purchase at hundreds of online stores on the net. Again, it is not mandatory but highly recommended that you use this particular editor, although there are several basic editors out there on the net for free or little cost. Note: the other alternative to building your website as fast as possible is to find a web host that provides their own easy to use website builder. You can find examples of these kinds of full service hosts here. Also, click below, occasionally there are sites that offer free html editors just as functional as frontpage.
