Sometimes all you want is one program or group of integrated programs to do your Web design and development work. These Web suites combine the basic necessities of Web design - HTML and graphics editing. If you buy or download one of these packages you'll have all you need to maintain a Web site including the graphics.
BlueVoda was recommended to me by customers of the Web Design site. It is a WYSIWYG Web page editor built specifically for the small business who needs to create and maintain a Web site without knowledge of HTML. However, it appears to only connect to VodaHost hosting service.
SiteSpinner is a WYSIWYG Web page editor that makes it easy to build and maintain your Web pages. The built-in graphics editor and creator is really useful for making buttons and images. And it supports drag and drop of your page elements for easier manipulation.
Web Engine improves upon the SiteSpinner interface by adding more DHTML support and interactive animation to the image editing. It is a WYSIWYG Web page editor that makes it easy to build and maintain your Web pages. The built-in graphics editor and creator is really useful for making buttons and images. And it supports drag and drop of your page elements for easier manipulation.
WebDwarf makes it easy for you to create and maintain Web sites without knowing any HTML. It includes FTP to publish your pages and even an image editor to maintain your images. Note: WebDwarf is free for non-commercial use.
Website X5 Compact is a less expensive version of Website X5 Evolution. It offers the same WYSIWYG functionality, with no access to the HTML code. One feature missing that I was surprised at was tables - you need to purchase Evolution to get table support. The documentation states that it will deliver XHTML 1.0 strict Web sites using CSS. This looks like a decent product for small businesses and individuals who don't have time to learn HTML or CSS.
