Web Site Publishing Software

Web site publishing software is the means by which a novice can build his/her own site and put in many of the features that the builder would otherwise have to pay a professional web designer to do. Web page publishing software can often be down loaded for free or software can be purchased through a retail outlet or downloaded on line. Some software programs advertise to be able to be up and on the web in a matter of an hour with their "design your own website" download. While a professionally designed site might cost as much as twenty five hundred dollars, even a programming package at two hundred and fifty dollars can seem like a real bargain. So what's included in these software packages, and how computer savvy does on have to be to use them?

To begin with, there are beginner levels of Internet software and more advanced programs. Free software downloads for beginners will not have any HTML codes or intricate programming that a novice will have to wade through. Most all of it will be drop and drag and choosing from already designed templates. Navigation bars and smart bars will also be included as part of the novice class of software. "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal." (Matthew 6:20)

Even for the novice, the ability to make a pretty eye-popping website is possible with many features that are available for insertion into a site. For example, web page publishing software can offer the ability to embed videos from YouTube or other popular video sites right into the page being designed. That's a pretty cool option for those wanting to put a little levity into a website with the inclusion of some hilarious video clips for example. Or perhaps a business wants to actually punctuate the need for its product by showing the results of someone not using the product and the page then takes on a more serious tone. But the companies that push their web site publishing software can offer other design capabilities also.

Remember that the makers of web page publishing software want to push their product as the perfect answer for the person who wants to save a lot of money by doing the design himself/herself. Some of this software allows the self-directed designer to add three dimensional imaging to the site. This could be an amazing asset for someone in the design business. Showing a product, like a house or building design in 3D would be amazing and the ability to show the cross section of a particular mechanical product or medical tool would also be a huge asset in showing the genius of creation and production. Many of the computer programming packages for web design offer this very capability.

But other capabilities are also present with many of the web site publishing software products on the market. For example, creating the ability for site visitors to listen to podcasts about products or about trends in the industry of choice, or news about other businesses can be a great asset to driving business to an Internet site. Making the podcast updated as a regular weekly or monthly commitment is also important to keeping the web page appearing to be fresh and on top of trends. Podcasting is not hard to do, and can be accomplished with very little financial outlay. But is does take some coaching to make it interesting and believable so invest in a little training before diving in to that medium.

Web page publishing software also provides the designer the ability to make slide shows on a site with relative ease. This feature will take any photos desired by the builder and build them into a story with various visual ways of introducing each picture and can be a nice touch for perhaps highlighting a building project or to display the effect of a product's use over time. In addition, the computer programming for building pages on the Internet can include the ability to insert e-commerce features to help the retail aspect of any site. From shopping cart configurations to the use of PayPal and credit card functionality, there are really very few downsides to a business or individual using this kind of computer programming package to building the commerce website most entrepreneurs envision. The prices of most products with the feature already mentioned are between fifty and two hundred dollars, making it a very healthy alternative to paying a web designer for a custom layout.

With an estimated five billion web pages on the Net, no matter how interactive and how humorous and how innovative each one is, the entire Internet experience can begin to look pretty much the same after a while. This sameness is borne out of the flat panel, human less and monotone encounter all users have, and much more so for the highly experienced Internet window shopper. Looking for any magic bullet from a web site publishing software design to make dreams come true and aspirations a reality are probably based on a myth, because if the people behind each web site are anything but genuine, honest and interested in the site visitor as a person with real needs that go way beyond the product offered, nothing will help that business remain viable. Few people will disagree that this is a dog eat dog world, and there is an abundance of self serving interest and not much sincere and genuine care for one another. The God of the Universe is very much interested in His children's every heartbeat, and He cares about you.
