Default Web site software reccomendation???

I'm starting up a small business and need to create a more professional appearing web site than I currently can with my old Netscape Composer software. Can anyone reccomend some software that is fairly simple to use but still provides a professional appearing product? Thanks in advance

Mark,
Have you looked at 'Frontpage' or 'Dreamweaver'?

I played with Frontpage a little last year at the Univ. of Ill. and it seemed fairly easy to navigate. Although I seem to recall someone saying, between those two, Dreamweaver was the program-of-choice for the true webmasters.

Mark,
I designed the website for our company www.crossroadspaper.com using Front Page... I did not use one of the "templates" that was included because they all look like "TEMPLATES"... I looked at what VERY large companies in the Paper Industry (Intl Paper, Ga Pacific etc) had designed and basically kept closer to what they had paid $$$$ to have designed.

If you're wanting to work in HTML, go with FrontPage...if you wanna step up and do some CSS stuff, go with DreamWeaver...FrontPage is easier for novices to get up and running with, but DreamWeaver will go above/beyond but be harder to get oriented with.

Mark,

Try www.allwebco.com, they have VERY professional templates, from 39.99 (cheesy) to 99.99 (very nice). You do not need any editor. You simply edit text files and add in your desired text and that is used as the "content" on your site. Some even have shopping cart features.
Good Luck,
Rich

www.69lm1.com (still a work in progress, 49.99 template)

What's service or goods will the small business provide? If you're looking to set up a storefront, that's a whole different ball of wax.
