some feedback on good website builders?
If I ever find one, I'd be more than happy to provide a review.
The best website builder is a web designer with a keyboard and a text editor.
this is the truth and does entirely answer the OP's question.The best website builder is a web designer with a keyboard and a text editor.
how can you disagree with this? once you've developed beyond static sites and want to add more dynamic content to your site, quality commerce modules, interesting dom manipulation, completely customisable structure, crm's and databases, etc, this is when you (me, you anyone) using one of these website editors hits a massive brick wall. sure it "can" be done, but either on the terms of the website editor itself or you really have to do some fancy JS or otherwise complex coding to work around the limitations. and if your coding ability has been stifled from underuse because your constantly moving boxes around a screen in a drag and drop fashion, you probably don't know how to do that.however as you improve your skill level, it becomes increasingly apparent that your quality of sites, and your own technical ability is limited by what can (or cannot) be done within these website builders, so realistically to me they are like training wheels on a bike.
Possibly use them for the concept (and maybe your first ever site) but once you actually have even a reasonable understanding of how the internet works, and what language to use for what purpose and so forth, you soon realise that they are innately limited by design and thus are not very good.
this to me seems like pretty sound advice on what to look out for if you were using a website editor.What many people fail to realise is what you have to sacrifice by using these builders. Upgradability, performance, code readability, flexibility, SEO considerations and so forth.
very true as there probably isn't a great one out there. and if I found a good one, I probably would be happy to provide a review too, but to date, and i'm starting to go pretty grey now, I've yet to find one.If I ever find one, I'd be more than happy to provide a review.
Jeez...everytime I hop on this forum. I'm more and more discouraged from coming back. I truly admire the patience and knowledge of web 'developers' but you don't have to spit on everyone else who comes in for advice and tips from the more experienced. If you can't answer the question, don't bother. All you're doing is putting down & discouraging everyone else. Didn't realize you guys owned the place.
ANYWAY to answer your question Anjali, I've only had experience with Wix so far, and it's very user friendly and effective. I built a 30+ page website. It functions just right and the client is happy. I am on the search for something better, myself, though.
keep your browser window open, draw sketches, consider whether I need flash or is there a better option instead, css, css, css.How do you efficiently go between writing source and what it will look like managing logos, perhaps some flash and different styled text?
did you want an answer or not ???If you are one of those gurus that just knows, go away...
