    I designed a website with Web Easy Pro version 6. There is a newer version (version 8). Anyone used this software who thinks an upgrade is worthwhile or do any of you have a better web design software that is relatively easy to learn and use?

    Thanks,

    John

    I guess it depends a lot on what you are looking for in web design software, and what your design and software skills are background are like. Template-driven design tools like the one you cite are not very useful to pro designers.

    But if you’re happy with it, why change?
    There is a tool from a graphics specialist company that aims, similarly, for fast and easy template-based output https://www.xara.com/us/products/webdesigner/

    Thanks Mike,

    WEP does seem to simplify the process. That link you provided is interesting. I guess for a person like myself that rarely creates a website simple software is probably right for me.

    Thanks again,

    John

    I’ll have to have a look at that software, I haven’t tried that one out yet. Personally, I think it’s better to hand code websites because they tend to be much cleaner sites and they load in your web browser much more quickly. I always find it interesting to test out new products though.

    I too think that there are lots of pluses in hand coding.

    But it does take a fair bit of time and effort to master – and a reasonably technical mind set.

    For many people who want a site but don’t want to spend much time on the technical aspects, a relatively simple wysiwyg tool can be useful.

    That one does allow for really fast prototyping – and uses a strange device with putting text into lots of divs to enable quite striking page wrap effects around irregular images …
