Good programs to create a website?

Post by TOMSUN »

Guys,

What are some programs you can recommend to build a website and generate the HTML code so I can just upload the pages to my hosting account.

Cheers

you could try your hand at using WordPress. It is dead simple for most people.

Hi woody,

I'm not sure if I can use it for this application.
I had a guy set up wheelshed.com.au for me. It is hosted on a NetRegistry cPanel so I can maintain it.
The hosting account will let me add up to 10 "add-on" domains in subdirectories. I want to add www.xyz.com.au and I'm not sure if I have to install a completely new copy or separate version of wordpress in the subdirectories.

It getting too complicated for me. :)

That's kind of why I was initially after a website creator program. Can I use Wordpress to generate a separate website without messing up the existing wheelshed.com.au website on the cPanel?

you can have as many Wordpress websites running, you just point them to different SQL databases. Then you can have:

www.wheelshed.com.au as one website, then you can always have
www.wheelshed.com.au/blog as another if you really wanted.

You just don't make a wordpress page in www.wheelshed.com.au named that same page name of "blog" and you can add the folder in your ftp where your new wordpress page sits.

So long as your hosting supports the amount of databases you should be fine. If not, move over to CrazyDomains as they are cheap and give you shit loads of stuff for really low price.

Migrating over isn't too much of a pain either with Wordpress. Basically just download your ftp data, and re-upload, and save out the database info and re-upload to new database. For someone knowing what they are doing, should only take the time it takes to download/upload the amount of data you have.

Hope that helps.
