I built all of my sites using a combination of Netscape
Composer and a little hand coding. If you have tried using straight hand
coding, or one of those online site building tools that some of the free
site providers have, and you have not been happy with either, consider
using Netscape Composer.
Netscape Composer is part of Netscape Communicator,
and you can download it for free or buy a CD for 6 bucks. Here are some
of the advantages of using Netscape Composer.
-
Near-WYSIWYG editing. Using Netscape Composer is a lot like using a word
processor, and your page will appear on your screen nearly like it will
appear when you access it online. And any time you want to see exactly
how it will look online, you just have to click the Preview button.
-
Speed. You can throw together a new page, or update an old one quickly
with Netscape Composer.
-
Compatibility. If you use Microsoft Explorer or AOL as your browser, the
sites you build may look fine to you, but they may not look the way you
intended to users of Netscape or other non-Microsoft browsers. But if you
build your sites with Composer, you can be sure they will work on non-Microsoft
browsers. You can install Netscape on your system and still keep Explorer
or AOL as your primary browser.
To download Netscape or order a CD, just click on the
Netscape Now button. When the page comes up, click on "Download Here", or
on "Click here to order!".
