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.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.

      Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.

      I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.

      Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
