Web Publishing Tools

If you choose a free web host such as Geocities you won't even need a web publishing tool. They let you make your web site online by using easy to use templates, and interactive online tools provided by their web site. For more free web hosts see our free web hosting guide. For those of us, however, looking to create a professional web site, a web publishing tool is quite a valuable investment, unless you prefer working only in simple raw HTML, in which case Notepad should be sufficient.

Web Publishing Tools:

Dreamweaver- In advanced web publishing, Dreamweaver is the industry standard, hands down.

AOLPress- (FREE) If you intend on not paying for an html editing tool you'll want to use AOLPress. It has lot's of professional publishing features for free. AOLPress is one of the best free web publishing tool around. It almost gives you the chills to think how professional AOLPress is for free. If you don't plan to build a highly elaborate web site, AOLPress can help you build the basic features outstandingly without having to spend a cent. If your just starting to make a web site for the first time, AOLPress is a great way to get familiar with the basic concept of running a web site before investing in more expensive software.

CutePage- (FREE)
