Hi all,

What is the best web design software for beginners? My gf needs to just create a web page for work and they wanted her to use frontpage, but I saw it has been discontinued for over 5 years. What is something similarly as easy to use, but more updated. Dreamweaver is going to be too complicated for her so that is not an option.

Thanks,

-Mike

Wordpress.

HTML static pages are just about dead. There are still some uses for html pages, but if your GF wants experience that will last and is scalable, use a content management system (CMS).

The thing with HTML pages, they are not scalable, they do not work well when your site gets a few dozen pages. CMSs work well whether its 1 or 2 pages, or 1,000 pages.

I tried Wordpress but ended up going with Joomla. I thought the layout and admin was easier to navigate.

Good luck.
