I welcome you to my blog. No matter how you create a site in the constructor, with the help of a CMS or in a program, it will be written in html and css. Otherwise, the browser will not understand it. Instead of an electronic portal, the visitor will not see anything.
The difference will consist only in the correctness of the code. In some cases, it will look like English text translated by Google Translate. In others, as if they were engaged in an intelligent translator. It all depends on the tools you are using.
Today we’ll talk about which program for creating an html site will achieve the goal most correctly and competently. I'll run ahead. Even some allow you to do this clearly. And for some users, this would be the best solution.
My today's publication will be dedicated to editors. Let's start with them.
Two types of editors
All website editors are divided into two types - visual and text. This does not mean that in the first case you can completely do without code knowledge, but the requirements for their level will not be as serious as in the second case. This is the main advantage, because ideally, if you want to create something really correct, after writing the site, it would be nice to work on the code again and edit some shortcomings.
Text editors are great if you are good at programming languages or just not afraid of difficulties. They do not write the code for you, but they help speed up this process and avoid mistakes anywhere. You start typing a phrase and the utility finishes it for you. You'll also be able to see everything you've done once you're done.
It is impossible to say that the second method guarantees a better result. You can make mistakes too, especially if you don't have enough experience. Even professionals sometimes face difficulties, fatigue and inaccuracies. They work in a team: someone will suggest a rule that has flown out of their heads, others will see an error.
I do not insist or recommend any of the methods. You must decide for yourself what is more important to you. The result, that is, a site that will be visible to search engines in any case, will only be developed and developed. The second option is your knowledge. They are easier to bring to perfection using text code editors.
Well, now let's move on to the programs themselves.
Visual editors
I bring to your attention several convenient visual editors.
- WYSIWYG Web Builder
The program is in English, the first 30 days are free trial period. You will then need a license, which costs just under $50.
WYSIWYG Web Builder is simple and pretty self explanatory. If you know something, then you understand that any site consists of various blocks. Thanks to this editor, you only need to choose what exactly you want to see on your site: text, search, RSS, slideshow, video gallery and so on. The code will be generated automatically. It just needs to be tweaked a bit.
The utility has additional features: creating, checking links and page weights. If something is missing for you, you can download extensions from the forum on the official website or write the code yourself.
If you are a beginner, you can get started with the software using one of the many ready-made templates. This will speed up the work.
- CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer
Software in English. The developers of this program once sold it for $50 with the option to buy some additional features, which caused a real riot on the Internet. What is this utility that you constantly need to invest in? Now it costs $189, but you get everything at once and in its entirety.
Very functional, easier to use than the previous representative of visual editors. It has a built-in, which simplifies the process of uploading to the server. You can work in the program and immediately upload updates to the hosting. It is very comfortable.
CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer allows you to work on , a bunch of free icons, the ability to add all sorts of effects, see and fix the code right in the program's workspace. The lack of Russian is probably one of the most significant shortcomings.
- Adobe Muse
An excellent program in Russian, about which I have repeatedly written in my blog. He himself used and even created a site in it to order. Reviews are extremely positive. There are not so many tools, but if you know how to use them, you can create fundamental projects. This is a hallmark of many adobe products.
Remember the same photoshop. It would seem that there are a dozen buttons, but when you start poking around in it, it turns out that they can be used for such detailed settings! Many scripts have been released for Adobe Muse, and you can add a feedback form, a slider, and whatever else your heart desires.
This is one of the few programs that will provide ample opportunities for both a beginner who does not want to understand the code, and for those who seek to gain an impressive amount of knowledge.
People working in Adobe Muse are able to earn up to 100,000 rubles per landing. Everything depends on skills. The result, the ultimate benefit for the buyer of the site. If your goal is money, I can recommend you a course " ". You will learn how to create projects that can sell.
Text editors
For those who need knowledge, I present my selection of text editors.
- Sublime Text
You can create a website in the simplest notepad that hides in the Start bar, so why do you need text editors? They have about the same additional benefits. For example, the ability to add text for you, a color palette.
Sublime Text wouldn't be so popular if it didn't have its own specific features, such as error control and a task and file manager. I can suggest you watch a video review of this editor if you are interested.
To get some additional features, you will have to download an extension package for the program.
- Brackets
A free editor from Adobe, very similar to the previous representative, but you don’t need to download something extra to get basic features.
Extensions are needed if you want, for example, you want to be able to open a Photoshop layout in the editor to immediately cut out and save parts of the picture. It is unlikely that this will really be useful to you, since the option is not very well developed.
Nevertheless, thanks for your efforts. The editor is quite good without it.
In addition to these programs, there are also NotePad ++ and Dreamweaver, but I already wrote a detailed article about them "". Find out more by following the link and by subscribing to my blog updates. I wish you to find your convenient utility as soon as possible and start creating websites yourself.
Until we meet again and good luck in your endeavors.
