Web Design Software

[CABVOL]

Any advice on good, secure website design software? It needs to have the templates already, as we (my work) know nothing about HTML or any other coding.

Used WordPress, didn't keep it updated, and it got hacked.

Was just curious what others have used and whether you found it relatively easy to use? We are willing to pay money this time, as we don't want to go the free, open-source route again. Thanks!:hi:

Wordpress is the easiest because there are so many plug-ins and help resources.

What kind of site is it? A blog? Lead generation? Ecommerce? I have an ecommerce website on Magento and it's not bad.

I use Dreamweaver for my web design needs, and I use Fireworks for the actual image design.

Wordpress is probably your best bet, considering the business type, IMO.

WordPress is the best all purpose CMS you can get. You do have to keep it up to date but you would have to do that with any system use. I do suggest purchasing a premium theme that has a a solid user rating.

For building an HTML site I do like Dreamweaver but that's quite a learning curve especially if you aren't already familiar with Adobe interfaces.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I appreciate it.

Is there a reason you don't outsource the website?

As an alternative to Wordpress, you could also look into Squarespace. That being said, my website is in Wordpress.

Purely financial reasons. It's hosted by GoDaddy but we have in-house people that build it and maintain it.
