The advanced programs that I describe
Posted on December 26, 2009 - Filed Under Uncategorized
The advanced programs that I describe here go beyond the simple designation of Web page editors. They not only let you edit Web pages but also help you add interactivity to your site, link dynamically updated databases to your site, and keep track of how your site is organized and updated. Some programs (notably, FrontPage) can even transfer your Web documents to your Web host with a single menu option. This way, you get to concentrate on the fun part of running an online business — meeting people, taking orders, processing payments, and the like.
Macromedia Dreamweaver
What’s that you say? You can never hear enough bells and whistles? The cutting edge is where you love to walk? Then Dreamweaver, a Web authoring tool by Macromedia (www.macromedia.com), is for you. Dreamweaver is a feature-rich, professional piece of software.
Dreamweaver’s strengths aren’t so much in the basic features such as making selected text bold, italic, or a different size; rather, Dreamweaver excels in producing Dynamic HTML (which makes Web pages more interactive through scripts) and HTML style sheets. Dreamweaver has ample FTP (File Transfer Protocol) settings, and it gives you the option of seeing the HTML codes you’re working within one window and the formatting of your Web page within a second, WYSIWYG window. The latest version, Dreamweaver MX 2004, is a complex and powerful piece of software. It lets you create Active Server pages, connect to the ColdFusion database, and contains lots of templates and wizards. Dreamweaver is available for both Windows and Macintosh computers; find out more at the Macromedia Web site (www.macromedia.com/software/ dreamweaver).
