I used Website Complete v5.0 by starfield which was a CD version of what GoDaddy uses on their hosting. I like the CD version, others I have talked to did not care for the online version. You can check out my website to see my evening project over the last few months.

Good Luck,

Steve

FrontPage is simplier than Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a professional application and may be more than you need.

FrontPage is definitely easier but the code is not as clean as Dreamweaver. If you take the time to learn Dreamweaver, you will not regret it. A free alternative is Nvu that you can get at http://www.nvu.com/index.php .

If you go with FrontPage, try not to use their templates or themes or whatever they call them now. Most of them look tacky and load slowly. A great place to get free templates is http://www.oswd.org/ .

It really depends upon what type of webpage you are hoping to make.
FP will give you a straight forward page.

if you want to use layers or more advanced features such as CF code, PHP or such, DW is the way to go.

Try TUCOWS- there is probably a hundred WISWIG HTML editors.

Just do not try to use MSWord and 'save as a webpage' feature.

Another source for FrontPage templates is http://www.prothemes.com/default.php The templates here cost a few bucks but they do look nice.
