The Pirated: Adobe Dreamweaver

One of the most popular web authoring and designing software packages is Adobe’s Dreamweaver.  With Dreamweaver, you can test content and preview pages before they go live.  Since the newest version retails for $399, you can try out these free alternatives instead. 

Free Fusion design software

NetObjects offers Fusion up as their free web design software program.  This is a basic, no frills program that a novice can use to build their websites.  Features include drag and drop layouts, free photo galleries, custom HTML, shaping tools and built-in FTP.  Need help?  Get advice through one of their many free video tutorials or download the PDF guide.

PersonalWebKit: a good choice for personal website creation

PersonalWebKit is perfect for someone who is looking to create fast and professional websites with a program that has an easy learning curve.  PersonalWebKit offers up more than Fusion, including an import tool that adds music and video files quickly as well as an auto link feature.  If you are not familiar with HTML coding, this is the ideal program for you since it is not a requirement to use.
