How do I build the site? (software)
Most people use website design software to build their site. These programs take away most of the difficulty in building a website by allowing you to build the website from the visual side instead of from the code. This means that almost anyone can build a website if they have even the most basic word processing skills. In fact Microsoft's FrontPage is a lot like Word and so was very easy to pick up.
The two most popular software packages are Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver is the industry standard and the better of the two packages but you do have to pay for this. Dreamweaver costs £393 RRP or $399 RRP (for some reason it cost twice what it does in the US. I would buy it from the US for approximately £210)
FrontPage made by Microsoft and is a lot like all Microsoft applications and thus anyone familiar with Word should have no problem with using FrontPage. FrontPage costs about £113 which is a lot less than Dreamweaver.
I personally use front page as this is what was available for me. There is little that it cant do but as I have no experience with dreamweaver I cant recommend either one. I am planning on trying out Dreamweave soon so I will get back to you on this.
