Creating a web page

There are a number web page creation programs that facilitate creating a web page.

WYSIWG (what you see is what you get) editors are very simple to use. These programs are similar to word processing programs in that what you see while you are creating the page is what you get when you view it on the web.

• Microsoft Publisher (60 trial version available here Microsoft Publisher 2007 Trial)

HTML editors are more technical than WYSIWYG editors and more difficult to use. Knowledge of HTML is helpful when using one of these programs.

• Macromedia DreamWeaver
• Arachnophilia
• CoffeeCup HTML Editor

HTML Tutorials: If you want to write a page from scratch using bare HTML, these are a few of the many tutorials available on the web:
