Toadyd Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think most members here have passed the stage of free online hosts with site builders. The main reason being that there aren't really any good ones at all, and by relying on something like the freewebs editor you never actually learn how to do anything by yourself.

Tell me about it, it's a great tool thats for sure, very easy to use, plus it comes with plug-ins like the Hex Editor plug-in, normally programs that edit Hex are very expensive .

Jack_Knife Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 ^^^ Hex editors aren't expensive. Infact, there's hundreds of free ones on the internet right now. I used Notepad++ for a while, but I didn't really like it too much. Seemed really sh*tty. I'm using Programmer's Notepad 2 at the moment.

Yes, i know there are some hex editors that are free and really cheap, but from what i've seen in them the expensive ones do a better job. I could be wrong though, i haven't touched one in months now.

Dreamweaver is far from perfect yes, but in some aspects it's not half bad, you just have to get to know how it works. I don't particularly like the "What you see if what you get" in Dreamweaver, it's not very good, you can have an object in a certain location, and when viewed online it would be moved. I do however like it's coding backdoor though. The syntax and easy of it is great.

Mister Pink Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) On 10/23/2022 at 7:47 PM, SunnyM said: Sorry for bumping this super old thread, but I'm in search of a good web builder. I want to start my own online store. Being on a budget, I'm thinking about doing everything I can by myself. What web design tool would you recommend? It depends on how much customisability you want. How much control you want. And if you are willing to pay for extras or not, and do you want little bit more learning and self managing. I'm not going to give you an unbiased account of my WordPress experience. I love it and have been using it for 5 years now. There are some nice themes to buy pretty cheaply. Then you build it out yourself. The community is a blended mix of digital DIY-ists and developers. WordPress is open-source. People like yourself or myself that want to have focus on the product or service we sell, on a good website, manage it ourselves, and not have to pay a 3rd party to develop it and maintain it. You can blend using code with it or completely ignore code and use plugins developed for it. Places like Squarspace and Spotify can charge extras for basics such as favicons, IRRC. It's also good because the sheer amount of free resources to assist in managing your WordPress site is phenomenal. I find WordPress has very convient plugins like Yoast to help with your website having strong SEO. It has decent options to add other admins and being able to delegate certain access/rights to different backend user profiles. Most hosting providers like BlueHost offer where you can install Wordpress when you purchase a domain + hosting. The Blue Host bundles I linked you come with free SSL certs and free automatic backup for a year for the premium model. Shopify can also be integrated with WordPress. However, most e-commerce WordPress themes come with a built-store/plugin like WooCommerce. Thing to remember, free Plugins usually offer some free and very handy functions but youl'll play for premium features. However, if you are smart you can get a little of everything free for your website. It also used to be a bit of effort managing and updating plugins. Having said that, you can set plugins to update automatically. Having too many can slow your site down or if a plugin isn't updated it or you don't update the version of WordPress there can be some issues. Thankfully, I've been mostly OK. If you have good hosting there technical support can help on some issues but mostly there is good support from the community. If all that is too much hassle, or seems overwhelming, Shopify or Wix might be handy. You know what's better for you. However, I found with other page builders, they were a little more restrictive and not as good for managing SEO. I also found learning Wordpress is good for when going for a job as many companies use it as their CMS/Website. Apparently, WordPress powers 36.28% of the top 1 million websites.
