What Web Software should I use

Aug 2, 2011 9:17 AM

I have a small business and I am looking to create a website for the business. In have used in the past GoLive 7.0.2 but now I am not sure if my software is so outdated that it might be better to upgrade. I also have Adove Creative Suite Premium but I dont know the version and I use InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator all the time. I would like some advice as to what would work best for me.

I also am a bit confused about the different design techniques. Is it better to use tables or CSS? Also is there a good website that has tutorials on the various methods of webpage design. I want to use the website initially as more of an informational site to show the products I offer and If things go well I may look at expanding into e-commerce by taking orders online. I appreciate your input so I can go in the right direction as far as webpage development software is concerned.

Dan

If you are not experienced in modern web design and have online business ambitions without spending 24/7 designing/developing/maintaining, I'd look to a packaged system such as a free CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc) or a hosted service like Google Sites.

I am looking to first use the website for information only, e-commerce is down the road. I am hoping for help in selecting a good web design software that would be compatible with older versions of Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I am also using Windows XP. I looked at the Adobe site and it looks like GoLive is no longer being offered so is Dreamweaver the way to go? Thanks

Sincerely,

Daniel E. Vollmer

DW is the only way to go right now if you feel that you need an Adobe product.
