Hi guys. I'd like to put together a simple website for a little project I'm working on, and I hoped you guys might be able to put me on a couple leads. I don't want to pay a professional for something that I may or may not even see through to completion, so if possible I'd like to design it myself. I remember Microsoft's Frontpage software from years ago, but Frontpage 2003 seems to be the last version of the program. Is Frontpage completely outdated or is it still worth taking a look at? Can you recommend any other user-friendly web design programs? I have very limited HTML experience, so the more the program holds my hand, the better. Thanks.

Dreamweaver is nice to sculpture your own sites, its downfall is that you might not find it dynamic enough for these times. I suggest you try out either some blog software or a full cms system (drupal, wordpress, phpbb - there are probably tons). If you decide to use blog software or cms, no program other than an imageeditor and notepad will be required. You should be able to read yourself through the documentation (if needed) rather effortlessly.

well if you want to create something quickly which looks good, you should try using http://www.xsitepro.com/
this is for people with limited wed design skills, they are not just templates, you can create your own designs and i think it incorporates flash too, but not sure .
the interface is user friendly, so you don't have to code it. for example if you wanted to have a photo, you just add one and resize it, position it really easily.

Dreamweaver! I remember that one, too. I'll have to try to get my mitts on a copy.
Thansk for the input, gentleman. I'll give xsitepro a try, and look into amaya as well (though I think that one might be a bit technical for my needs).

I'd happily do it for you to take my mind off the ghastly projects I usually find myself working on.

I'd be eternally grateful, sir. I'm going to prepare a bit of art which I'd like to use for the site, and work some more on the content as I wouldn't want to waste your time designing an empty space! I'm not exactly sure how well my idea will work out, so I'm going to flesh it out a bit more before I put a poor soul to work on a content-less website! :)
