What is the difference between Website creation software and Web design software?

What are there pros and cons and what is your knowledge on them. Also in what category does Dreamweaver fall into.

Web Design Software is for creating pages. Website creation software is for designing pages and managing your web site (all pages). Only a slight difference in most programs.

Dreamweaver is a web site creation program and can also design single pages easily.

Pro: Website creation software is good at keeping track of your entire website – and updating your site.

Con: Website creation programs are more complex and generally harder to learn.

what is a user friendly web design software for making social sites?

July 3, 2010 By admin 3 Comments

I want to make a facebook/youtube. Free would be nice.

Okay, no offense to Wendy here, but if it were that easy to make a Facebook/YouTube, don’t you think there would be more Facebooks and YouTubes? It’s as if she didn’t read the question!

So the obvious answer is that you can’t get this for free. It’s all coding. It’s also not cheap.

Sure, Blogger is nice. LiveJournal is nice. But I want to make it clear that those are PUBLISHING PLATFORMS where you can write blog posts and articles and get them pushed out to the world. They do NOT have the interactivity required to build a real social network.

In addition, "free online website builders" will do one thing: give you static websites that do not have dynamic elements, and dynamic elements are what makes websites social (messaging, photos, wall posts, chat, etc.). If you want messaging, wall posts, the ability to upload videos, etc etc, you NEED to learn a programming language, like PHP or Ruby on Rails. You NEED to have web storage space that could cost anywhere from $20/month (if you have 2 users on the site) to $2 million a month (which is probably what YouTube and Facebook are paying — no joke — Facebook has 60,000 servers! Do you know how much one costs to maintain? Between $150 and $500). You also need to understand databases. And you can’t get that type of functionality with free online website builders.

I’m working on my own project right now and a site that has about 1/5 of the features of these sites is being quoted at $40,000.

I’m sorry to disappoint but your wishful thinking isn’t realistic.

Its for an interent business. Also need detailed close-ups of products.

Sounds like you need a shopping cart…

Oscommerce comes with most web hosting packages and is free and relatively easy to use.

You could also use wordpress with a shopping cart plugin and acheive about the same result if your familar with wordpress.

Can I use web design software and then transfer the pages directly to my website (please read)?

May 30, 2010 By admin 4 Comments

Please explain to me like a 2 year old: What is web hosting? Do I need it if I want to design my web pages using Komposer and then transfer the pages to my website?

Hosting is what you need in the first place – it is a service where you pay a monthly or annual fee to someone who operates one or more web servers.

Once you are setup with hosting, and you become familiar with uploading files (i.e. HTML pages) to your hosting account on the web server, you will be able to browse to whatever domain name you’ve chosen and view your pages there. The specific tool to use is up to you. Some people use a simple editor like MS Notepad and a free FTP program to do the uploads, while others use WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver and Frontpage, where the editing, uploading and other useful features are included.
