I am very new in web design and I have been learning on my own wit a little help from a friend who know only a little of dreamwaver 8.
Which means I do most of my work in coreldraw and then export to dreamwaver 8
Can anyone refer me to any other software that make the job easier. I have been hearing of CS3, CS4. What about them and what advantage do they have over dreamwaver8.
Is there any other alternative to swishmax?
Thanks in advance

To create a dynamic and beautiful website,u will need to learn how to design with wordpress and joomla.For me wordpress is the best. Check out websites designed with it . Www.punchng.com ,www.sunnewsonline.com,forbes,cnn and many more.If you are interested to get the video for wordpress and joomla. Contact me at antontechnologies@gmail.com .i will give u 3 free premuim themes. Check out my blog www.designerstutor..com

If you really want to learn web designing and become a web designer, then you may have to stop looking for the easy way.
Here is my piece of advice:
1. Leave Dreamweaver and Wordpress alone at least for now.
2. Go to the Internet and download Notepad++ (it's free), it's a text editor.
3. Find an html/css book and read as you practice.
4. Go to http://www.htmldog.com and take their free tutorials of html/css beginner to advanced level.
5. Build your first website.
6. Go to http://www.html.net and learn more about html, css, javascript and php.
7. Practice, practice and practice.
8. Don't do drag and drop or copy and paste. Try to hand-code, so that it will enter you.
9. Join forums, and if you have problems ask on forums.
10. You don't need coreldraw for designing websites or doing exporting thing. Even if you design in photoshop and slice and save as images/html, photoshop will mark everything up with table. It has no power to code with css. Don't ever use table to design your websites.
11. If you have a little knowledge of photoshop (for editing and optimizing images) and illustrator or coreldraw (for designing logos), then you are good to go.

If you have any other question, feel free to ask them.
Thank you.

If you are in need of software that you can use to create your website within 30 mins, l have one. Let me tell you litle about this application: 1. You do not need to know anything about html code before you can make use of it. If you know how to use html, you are ok also. 2. You type your information on m-sw and cope-past it to the this application. Also if you can work with m-sw then you are ok with it because it will convert everything to html automatically. 3. The graphic that you want to you use, you can upload it to your site page. 4. From this software you can buy cheap domain name and cheap hosting(if your system is connected online) and so on. Do know what, the price of this software is $197 but you will get it free of charge. Yes you heard me well, you will get it free. I will not ask you to do anythin for but help yourself now to get it free because very soon the owner will start selling at a rate of $197. I have made this software to make many websites without know anything about html, css, hph and java. So it will work for you as it does to me.

Oga here has said the bitter truth. Learn the very hard way. Forget dreamweaver and embrace text editors like sublime text or notepad or notepad++. Learn to write your own codes, forget CMS like joomla and WordPress for now. When u can write your codes, you can now start thinking of CMS software. I started coding with notepad, later moved to dreamweaver and am finally switching back to sublime text. There's joy in seeing your hand written codes come alive. As a beginner, dont even touch templates only use them as inspiration for ur own designs.
