drg Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 What software is available if any to build your site with heliohost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You can use Dreamweaver, Kompozer, Microsoft office Publisher, or any other Program that can export as html/htm Have a quick google search for more. What kind of site are you wanting to build? It is difficult to make one from scratch, so you may want to use a template or a web based designer like http://www.doodlekit.com/ or http://www.cityslide.com/ with easy drag and drop, easy resize, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there templates and some sitebuilding software from heliohost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Why must you edit/rebuild it? And how did you get it done in the first place? There is no software or templates from heliohost, as there is all kinds available on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no software or templates from heliohost, as there is all kinds available on the web. I built it with the software Webhero has called Sitebuilder. I need to change some information in it. Of course, I need the option to always update it, improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 To do that, all you have to do is download the html/htm files off your server, and replace the necessary text (using notepad, or opening with a html editor), then upload again. However, if you want to change the layout, or anything drastic like that, then you need a site builder for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Haha i wouldn't recommend it in case you screw something up. I use Notepad++ which is a lot better. If you still want to use a text editor, the best way is to search for the text that you want to change, and then simply replace it. This can be a bit confusing as there are line breaks and paragraph syntax which can be hard to use. When you are done you can view it by opening with firefox or another internet browser.

JcX Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Notepad, ftw. Agreed! Learn HTML first, establish your language knowledge. Try on HTML using notepad, then advance into PHP, MySQL and more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned with just Notepad, and I think that every aspiring webmaster should first start with their head, notepad, and maybe the occasional w3c validation. That way, your skills are your own and you have a deep understanding of the code as opposed to have something like Dreamweaver do it for you.

Apparently my Internet decided to die when I was posting this, so Firefox sent two posts instead of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
