frontpage replacement suggestion

[PhonemeAnalysis]

after searching for almost a year, i have found two decent alternatives to micro$oft frontpage:

1) http://www.webpage-maker.com/ $50

SUPER EASY to use, but the company is slow in answering emails

2) http://www.webeasyprofessional.com/ $50

this one is a bit more difficult, but it has a REALLY cool feature - it can import existing front-page webpages! this one needs to get filed under 'how-cool-is-that'.

i used this as a guide:
http://website-creation-software-rev...enreviews.com/

both of these read and write its own 'internal' file, much like a word document. this makes it handly for collaboration.

i have yet to see if they support templates well - thats my next challenge.

expression web? the idea here is to move away from a micro$oft product.

another contender:

this one is priced the best, at $40.

Hello,

There is a free alternative web design application available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems at:
http://www.nvudev.com/index.php

I haven't used it much personally, but I have heard good things about it.

i have used NVU and i LOVE it! it is a poor mans dreamweaver, and will do 90% of what dreamweaver will do. i just have two minor issues with it:

1) it is not actively maintained, last release was three years ago
2) there is a bit of a learning curve to it.

my goal has been to find a quick and cheap way for the total novice to create a website.

the winner: web-easy-professional. buy it on ebay and save $$$ money. web-easy-pro will also import existing websites!

another easy free way to crank out webpages:

1) move your images to your server
2) go to googlepages, and use one of their templates to produce a nice webpage (have googlepages point to images on your server)
3) on your server inside of an SSH session issue a:

wget --output-document=index.html http://YOURSITE.googlepages.com/YOURPAGE

hey, it works!
