Create Your Own Web Pages Quickly
Let’s accept it - to succeed in Internet Marketing today, one needs to know how to work with web pages. Not everyone can afford to hire a developer to get a web site/page up and running. Even if you can afford to get it outsourced, its always better to understand how this works and be able to make minor changes yourself.
Having said that, I know it’s not as easy to create web pages as many Internet Marketers will have you believe. BUt then again, its not so tough either. If you can work Microsoft Word, you can make a simple web page too.
There may be times when you want to quickly edit an existing web page, or maybe create a new squeeze page (to capture leads) or get that blog into shape. There are some softwares out there that can make this task quite simple for you.
Among others, I have tried Microsoft Frontpage, Dreamweaver and very recently, NVU.
Frontpage is easy to use and very similar to Microsoft Word. If you can work with MS Word, Frontpage should come easy to you. Personally, I used Frontpage right from the beginning of my Internet Marketing career till a few months back. Its user friendliness appealed to me… but lately I realized that it messes up the HTML codes, thus making the web pages less search engine friendly. Plus, this software comes at a cost.
Dreamweaver is an advanced piece of software and not that user friendly. It has a whole lot of features but it has a steep learning curve. Also, Dreamweaver can burn quite a hole in your pocket.
That brings us down to NVU. I have recently started using this software and am completely in love with it. It is as user-friendly as Frontpage, has some really nice, cool features (I love the little ‘crosses and arrows’ functionality next to each page element) and you can get started with it rather quickly. Plus, its completely free to use (just download it from www.nvu.com). And yes, it produces clean html codes that search engines love.
So, as of now, the clear choice is NVU. You dont have to know html coding or any other computer languages to get your first web page or squeeze page up. If you can work with MS Word, then you are fully qualified to create a web page with NVU.
I would love to hear your experiences with the different softwares listed here. Or maybe any others that I haven’t tried my hands at yet. Just go ahead and leave a comment below sharing your thoughts.
