Default oohh gosh help

Well I have the dreamweaver program, but after looking around, it will take me forever to learn. Is there another way to " start " a site ? I have paint shop pro,which I do all my designing in. I think I am going to start with hostgator ( or what ever it's called ),the baby swap. Debbie

Try using a template play around with them for a little bit get to know editing them, and you will pick it up and eventually you will be able to write your own.

Download, unpack and open up in dreamweaver then just edit to your personal preference.

Good luck

I don't think you have to learn the whole program to manage a decent site. I probably only use 20% of Dreamweaver's features and still don't believe I've unlocked its true potential.

I know it's a bit intimidating but if you find a template you like and you learn how to make basic edits, you'll find it's not really that bad.

Just make a backup copy of your template and start playing around and yes... messing up. That's the best way to learn. Get those hands dirty!

As Rob said, download a template you like and open it up in DW. I think a template will make the process seem less frightening.
