What is the easiest software to use to make a css sheet? - please read details before you answer!?

Question

The software should NOT require me to enter any code myself. In other words, it should be easy enough for a child to build a website - seeing that i'm not a good coder.

edit: I know you can't make a website just with css!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

CSS is really not hard at all. You can't even consider it coding. When you start learning it, you'll see that it's all common sense. You can become learn the ins and outs of CSS in less than an hour, no joke.

I don't know of any software used to make just CSS. And you can't create a site with just CSS alone. CSS just customizes colors, positions, fonts, etc. of your webpage.

Just use a WYSIWYG editor like dreamweaver. But no matter what software you use, nothing is ever going to be perfect. It's always good to know a little HTML so you can figure out what the problem is yourself.

I never use WYSIWYGs myself, but try this one:

Or if you're willing to invest the money, Dreamweaver is decent, I'm not sure if you'd have an easy time using it though.

Answer 2

The easiest wysiwyg editors don't use css, they use tables. So if css is what you want, then maybe try out StyleMaster. I think it's easier than TopStyle. There's a demo version you can play with. You can open pre-made css sheets, see the previews, click on a section of page and it will show you the code. There are panels where you enter the styles and it will put the code in for you. It's a great learning tool. It comes with several templates, too. I use it often along with Dreamweaver.

Answer 3

If you don't want to learn any code, you might as well give up now. There are severe limits to what any gui software can do. For use of css particularly a basic knowledge of code is essential.

Answer 4

On the same lines as LexiSan, CSS won't get you far without HTML to apply it too. If you are scared to touch the code yourself, a WYSIWYG is the way to go - though if you're going to be working with websites fairly often, I would strongly urge you to learn HTML and CSS.

NVU (www.nvu.com) is a free WYSIWYG that, from what I hear, is fairly good. I can't comment on it myself as I hand-code.

Answer 5

Well you can see both with a tool like TopStyle.

You still have to learn a little bit of code, it isn't that difficult, and there are kids that we teach this system too.

Oh if you want a free one try TopStyle Lite.
