Dreamweaver question

[kohndr]

We are currently using Front Page for our organization's website. Now please keep in mind that I don't know much about making website pages so here it goes..........If we purchase Dreamweaver, can we make an interactive page (i.e. page where donors can make a donation online)? :confused:

We're thinking about changing to Dreamweaver, any thoughts on this?

Thanks!!

Dreamweaver is a lot better than FrontPage, but the best way I think to make a site is by hand.

Switch to HTML-kit instead, learn to do the pages right and give the money you save to the charity.

What you're asking doesn't really have to do with the capabilties of the development environment at hand, rather the server setup. The donation functionality would require a server-side technology present on the server in question (e.g., PHP or Perl). Either way, you should listen to Ray and get rid of that garbage and start creating pages properly (read: by hand).

You don't have to code everything by hand, even though it is better. I wouldn't recomend trying to create a secure payment system if your new to server-side languages (maybe it's easier than I think, I've never tried). Paypal offers packages for accepting donations.

I agree with ray326's idea though.

As others have stated, it is best to learn to do the pages by hand. It's like math. You first learn to do all the basic operations by hand to acquire background knowledge, then use a calculator later on.

I agree. Learn how to hard code to understand how it works. I use Dreamweaver and it is like it says: A Dream.

Anyways..., Dreamweaver is a helping hand for the design work that I do, however it is no match to your creativity and innovation.
