Coffeecup Web Design SW Feedback Please

[Sparticus666]

Hi,
Just creating my first site. I purchased a few of the products from Coffeecup. In particular I was using their HTML Editor but Visual Site Design is much easier for me to understand.

Before I go to far down the road with these products I was looking for somefeedback from anyone who is aware of them.

I dont want to develop a site only to find out that search engines etc cant see them or wont pick them up.

I really appreciate your help.

Mike

Had never heard of coffeecup until you mentioned: i've got a feeling that might be the case for the majority. I checked out their site just to make sure I hadn't seen it and To be honest I don't think much to their own site neither!

You might have to search for coffecup reviews or something?

My web host gives this away to people who sign up to their service.

I've never used it, but have seen some people talking about it. The consensus seems to be "A sandbox version" of professional web design utilities.

On the plus side, I've seen plenty of "Easy to use" remarks floating around about it, so I think it might be a good entry-level program for those just starting out in web design.

I can't say more than that...

hi u if u want any help regarding to design than pm me for more details

I got a bunch of their software for free from lunarpages. The site builder is OK... I used it to design the header of this site: [link removed]. As far as SEO I haven't had any issues. I rank well for related key words in searches. Just check your code.

I tried out a few of the Coffeecup products and found them useful. I am not a savvy web designer so maybe that is why they appealed to me. I think they are good for simple and quick designs. Their tutorials show pretty simple stuff too.

It doesn't matter what software you use to develop your site - if you like it and it works for you - great.

It's just a tool, notepad is a great tool also.

Content and a marketing plan is what matters. Good content and no barriers to keep people for finding the site or getting the page to load in a reasonable amount of time.

I've developed 200,000 dollar sites using Frontpage - What isn't that a baby program? (well I also used a dozen or so other programs to do it because what people don't see is as important)

if you like coffeecup, use it, but don't forget the important stuff -

personally I don't use DW that much - it's kinda a baby program - even tho it's trouted as a pro editor (all the plugins and stuff, yuck) - But for people starting out plugins are a good thing - they don't have the knowledge to create their own stuff.

But I will use DW sometimes if I want a particular feature - example this is a DW gallery I made a little gallery example for someone on this board (its just the raw gallery no design around it) - http://64.62.146.137/1/gallery.htm

MS Expression is now trying to be like DW - (got it, don't use it that much - but it has some great features I may want to use)

I want to do my own stuff - but all have great features - get to know Coffeecup and make it work for you.

I also like using a server with FPSE so I don't have the security issues with ftp. But use what you like, get to know it and it will work great for you. Frontpage can be picked up at a used software store for $10.00 - find an ISP that has fpse and you don't have to publish - yyou can work online live.
