Best web authoring program for a newbie.

Help me out here. I’m looking for recommendations for a web authoring program for someone who has been doing print design for a long, long time. I’m well versed in Freehand (of course), Photoshop and Quark. Based on that, what program would seem to be a good starting point? I’m not talking extensive programming, just the ability to build basic sites.

Thanks! This looks like a perfect Mac based program to pursue. Complex programming/java scripting is overwhelming right now.

  • Is iweb the only web creation program for Mac?

    Having just transferred to MBP after years on XP i was wondering what the best web creation program was for the Mac.
    I used Frontpage to make my company website but would like to use my MBP to re-create the site and add a couple of new ones.
    Can anyone suggest the best way to go?
    Cheers
    Kev

    iWeb can create two different types of Web page.
    You can "Publish to Folder" (which will require third party servers) to place these new pages onto the Web.
    Or. Publish to .Mac. This requires a .Mac account ($99 a year, U.S.).
    You are free to buy, try, and use the other (dozens) of Mac compatible Web page authoring software.
    But, if you're publishing to a .Mac account, iWeb 1.1.1 makes it very easy.
    The annual .Mac ($99) service also still includes "Homepage".
    It offers a simple "Web based" service that can also be used for .Mac users.
    Movies, Photo Albums and even Screen savers for other .Mac users.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, use speech recognition. It's installed on OS X, so you don't have to install a third-party app. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11258?viewlocale=en_US

  • What is the best word processing program for mac?

    What is the best word processing program for Mac?

    That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
    Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
    Academic?
    Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
    So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

  • What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    I would recommend using Pages for what you are doing. It is the best one to use on the iPad itself, and has the ability to convert to an MS Word format. I know that it can do this through email, but I am also fairly certain you can import it in this format through iTunes, though you may need to convert it on the iPad itself.
    With iOS 5 and iCloud, I recommend kicking Word to the curb altogether and going with Pages on both machines. Not only will everything be more seamless, but iCloud will update the changes you make, on either device, automatically. And Pages is only 20 bucks through the App store for the Mac (OS 10.6.7 or later needed).

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • Are there any legit DVD authoring programs for Mavericks?

    Seems like Apple is just done with optical media... which is probably about a decade early.
    In any case, does anyone have a legit (as in I won't be beta testing software for 3 days) / simple program for authorizing DVDs.

    I was unaware until yesterday that FCPX could burn a basic DVD.  We will give this a try.
    None of us are pros... so we're just creating archives of things we import into iMovie presently.   But we just invested in a new Mac Pro, so it's definitely time to look at FCPX and figure out how we can leverage its capabilities... We need a workflow that is simple and can be followed off of a ilst of instructions.  ... Thus, we've defaulted to iMovie.  I'll have to spend some time on Lynda and get it figured out.
    I was sure that when I brought in iDVD onto the new Mac Pro it would work, but something is failing someplace, between the new Mac Pro, Mavericks, iDVD, the LG Blu-ray burner, and our standard DVDs.
    Anyway, I appreciate your suggestions and your time.

  • Best app or program for backing up everything on iPhone

    I have just put iOS4 on my 3G and yes I lost all my contacts my calendar reminders,my notes,my book marks and some pics.Does anyone know what the best app or program is for backing up everything from my iPhone
    Contacts,Calendar,Notes,Bookmarks,Pictures,Sms and anything else I've forgoten.
    I've heard of Touch copy which can do all is there a better one about?

    If you still have the backup file, a program like this might let you pull the data:
    http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/
    I use PhoneView which is Mac-only, but TouchCopy is frequently recommended here and I've not seen bad comments about it.
    As Justin said, regular syncing is the best backup. To protect myself beyond that:
    I always manually move my backup file so that iTunes does not overwrite it with a new one, allowing me to roll back.
    Before major syncing activities (such as setting up a new phone) I generally export an archive from my calendar and address book apps, or duplicate the database, so that if it all goes wrong I can roll back to those--I would expect Outlook has a similar feature.
