I want to learn how to put together simple (very simple) websites for myself, but I have no idea where to start. Right now I just want to play around with some sort of web toolkit or somesuch, but all I have is iWeb, which hasn't really been letting me stray too far from it's built-in templates.

Any suggestions?

Dreamweaver for the more simpler to advanced stuff... Netscape Composer was the first one I ever did, I dunno if there's something comparable these days (NC was from 1996-1999 or so)

My quick Google-Fu says Rapidweaver or iWeb for OSX, KompoZer or Artisteer for Windows.

I just tried Kompozer on some of my existing pages. YYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKK! Sorry PatrThom, but I HATED that thing! It bwoke my page all to pieces.

Trying Artisteer next.

What Ame said. That and a copy of Xemacs.

If you can pop for $25 that will give you a months worth of full access to lynda.com, which is basically a video tutorial site for learning to hand code HTML and CSS among a million other topics. They have free previews too, so.

Heh. Never used either one, Google just suggested them when I asked for easy web design progs. I'm unlikely to need any kind of web design tools for at least another year, so I have no personal experience. Every webpage I've ever coded has been in a text editor doing raw HTML, and none of them have ever been very complicated.

Thanks guys. I'll be checking some of these out in the next week.

As a web developer, I wish I could help. But I went pretty much straight from coding in notepad to coding asp/aspx pages. For straight html, I still use a text editor. I've never much liked any of the wysiwyg editors I've tried. I even use the source code tab in .NET instead of their wysiwyg editor. heh
