Hey All,

Im trying to find a decent Web Design Program for a beginner, this is for a friend of mine who wants to try and make himself a website for his small business.

I have suggested Serif's Web Plus as it comes with pre-installed templates. I dont believe he needs anything like Dreamweaver as thats expensive and abit to advance for him. I also reckon HTML is enough.

Could someone suggest anything else?

Cheers!

Try the Notepad++ which is free or Coffeecup HTML Editor (retail version)

If he knows HTML backend... Notepad is best for writing in HTML...

Unless he wants to do visual design such as drag and drop or whatever, Coffeecup HTML Editor is best for him... Which Dreamweaver is more powerful than the rest.... Coffeecup is cheaper ... I think about $50 dollars for retail... there is trial version if he wants to try it out for 30 days or whatever they provide in demo version. The site is http://coffeecup.com

Of course there are so many HTML Editors on the internet ... no matter it's free or not.

Wordpress is kinda ok i guess, isnt that more a blog tool?

This is *exactly* what I thought up until about 12 months ago... I'd seen it a few years ago, and it was literally a blogging tool. However nowadays it's an absolutely great bit of software for building full websites. You should really check it out!

Kompozer is like Dreamweaver only its free

However the best tool out there would be notepad ++

Notepad++ is a great tool! I agree, but for some reason it messes with the layout of my code when I go to view it elsewhere. I am not sure if it is different formatting or what.

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
