Hello, I need to redesign a site of mine, but, i have no money, and also I have used up the free trial of dreamweaver and photoshop.

Anyone know of an effective application that I can use to create a webdesgin?

I bop back and force between dreamweaver and iweb depending on what I'm looking to do. both have advantages and disadvantages.

for simple pages, I'd recommend iWeb or hand coding even. If the site is going to be somewhat complex then dreamweaver is the answer imo

Dreamweaver is SO easy to use.

If you don't want to do that then try a CMS like Joomla, Xoops, Drupal . . .

Learn how to use HTML and CSS to design your site - then all you need is a text editor (Notepad is free with Windows; try TextWrangler for OS X).

Learn how to use server-side includes to make updates to global content easier.

I'd recommend staying away from a CMS or any web design software (Dreamweaver is the devil's web design playground) until you learn the fundamentals of good website design.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.
