New to web design. What is some great software or scripts for website building?

I%26#039;m a little bit familiar with web design, I once built an online store using zencart, so I at least have a little experience. But when it actually comes to developing a website I%26#039;m really out of the loop, and only know just a few basic html commands. I%26#039;m wondering if anyone knows any real good programs for building a website without needing to know much html. Preferrably free, but would also like to know about non free ones.

I%26#039;m wanting to build humor, news, etc site similar to ebaumsworld.com, collegehumor.com, and similar ones. So any advice on the best way to do it would be nice.

It would be nice if there was a script that works similar to the zencart script, where you basically upload and install it on the server. So that once you get the basic layout, adding, deleting, rearranging, and archiving, content and extra pages is super easy.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Also, besides programs, I%26#039;d like to know if there are any

Sophisticated sites like collegehumor is developed by real programmers who code the site software themselves.

If you want to make your own site without learning to code, it%26#039;s going to be limited in how sophisticated it can be. The most widely recognized and appreciated program among professionals is Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/dreamweaver )

Do not use FrontPage - it is universally reviled by everyone who understands web development. Once you learn what goes on under the hood - the actual coding of sites - you will realize how terrible FrontPage is. It creates embarrassingly bad code that is miraculous if you can get it to work well in any browser other than IE.

NVU (http://www.nvu.com/ ) is also popular - it is free, which is the biggest selling point. It%26#039;s not quite as powerful or elegant as Dreamweaver though.

The best are Dream Weaver and Front Page. Personally I use Front Page. They both take time to know and get used to all the bells and whisltes but they both are fine.

Other Replys:All serious Web designers and developers use Dreamweaver as their WYSIWYG editor. Anyone who tells you to use FrontPage is clowning.

Other Replys:Notepad and knowledge are still the best way if you want it to look good.
