mindwave Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ok, The last app in my move from won to Linux is a good gui based web page builder. I maintain 6 different sites and over the years I have used notepad, frontpage, word, coffee cup, hot dog, cold fusion and many many more. my typing abilities and todays software capabilities make (to me) th idea of hand coding html a really bad idea. currently i use frontpage and coffecup, but am pretty open minded. what i LIKE is something that has 1/2 dozen or so, templates, from which to draw ideas, steal code, and the ability to edit existing pages by downloading the .html and working from there. please anyne who is using such an app i REALLY am looking o make the switch and honestly i've not spent much time with NVU and that ma be what I'm missing. any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks J [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 NVU is probably the most popular WYSIWYG site builder. Most other ones available in Linux (that I've used, anyways) you still have to hand code (IMHO, this is really the best way, I have yet to find a WYSIWYG editor that always creates standards-compliant pages).

neddie Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 This other thread has a few useful suggestions. Personally I had a look at some of the wysiwyg ones but went back to Kate. With a few splashes of java and perl for maintenance, and Gimp and Inkscape for the graphics it works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Depending on what the site requires, and what server you have available, you could use an out of the box cms like e107, drupal or joomla. If its a bloggy type thing, theres such things as wordpress, and then theme it yourself. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindwave Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 thanks for the replies and yes i do understand that hand coding is still the best. and notepad was my best friend for years. the last surgery i had to remove a plate from my arm has made it so bad as to almost be pointless for me! thanks guys. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 yeah, it's owned by lycos now. I also had a geocities site, which I think was bought out by Yahoo. I didn't start hosting my sites myself until college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ah, nostalgia. My first (internet-visible) website was at fortunecity, donkeys' years ago, which is probably archived somewhere. But I still have one at geocities - oh, the shame! :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
