I am using a Mac, I have a domain name and a host. What is the easiest program to use to build this website: Powerpoint, Imageready/ Photoshop, or Dreamweaver? I was a graphic designer for 4 years(self taught) so I can get around a program. I downloaded a 30 day free trial of dreamweaver and have been trying to make it work. I can get the page designed, but get stumped when it wants URL, src, alternate text. When I worked on PC I used Frontpage a little bit, and did ok. I published the company I worked for's website using it.
So, PLEASE if someone can help me I really really would appreciate it. I am so frustrated with this. I've been trying to figure it out for the last week!
SOS
save our site!

Sorry sorry not URl..
Heres what happens, I hightlight 'home' then insert hyperlink. Then it asks for:
Text, Link, Target, Title, Access Key and Tab Index. I don't know , I just don't know, I really want to know.

I'd say Dreamweaver as the other three are not neccesarily made to create websites.

Src basically is the path to the image. Alternate text is the text that appears when you hover your mouse over an image on a webpage. I'm not sure what you mean by URL, but it may refer to your actual remote website location. (e.g. yourname.com)
And I would definitely use dreamweaver, not powerpoint nor frontpage. And i like the ftp built in with dreamweaver.

dreamweaver is what you would use to develop the website, photoshop would be mainly for your graphics...frontpage is not all that bad but does have considerably less features than dreamweaver. im not sure i understand the second part about getting stumped because of URL, src...is this in the html code or are you trying to link to your domain name..?

Are you speaking of how to upload it to the server? Best thing is with an FTP client, like SmartFTP, CuteFTP, etc. Just make the site, save it, then throw it on the server using the FTP prog. Yeah, it can be tedious to learn at first especially when I got started not knowing a thing about HTML but before long you'll be throwing web pages up like writing a note.
Text=Home, you've got that already.
Link=What page "Home" is going to point to.
Target=blank is usually fine, put parent if it's going to your main page, etc
Title=The title of the link, like what comes up when you mouse over, I believe
Access Key=Not sure but believe that's the key you can press to directly access the link
Tab Index=I can't say for sure, never used it.

my suggestion is that you make your website using a pc. 90% of the people that will be coming to your site will be using a pc. mac made pages won't look the same as pc made pages because the browsers you use on a mac are different. these browsers don't support all the html tags and css rules like the pc browsers do. just my opinion :)

I tihnk that you can get FrontPage for MACs. Its called Microsoft Office 2004 you may be able to find Frontpage in that.
