The Bottom Line on the Tools You Need To Create
An Acceptable Web Page
With time and effort you can create an excellent Web Site with AOLpress and PaintShopPro -- two tools available for free (though I register shareware, so PaintShopPro isn't totally free).
For under a hundred dollars you can purchase a tool that will make it easy to finish most of the tasks that go into creating a consistent appearance and graphic look for your web site. That tool is either FrontPage (by Microsoft) or PageMill (by Adobe). Both work very, very well and are available literally everywhere -- with support, books and tutorials available everywhere you look.
A "real" tool for web graphics is Ulead's product.
There are many, many nuances, factors, considerations, issues and elements. But, for a normal human being, building a normal web site for a mediator, an attorney, or other professional, one of these three tools will serve very well. In addition, the time and effort saved in seeking the perfect balance and in creating web pages and tools is probably well worth the modest cost for FrontPage or PageMill.
Both are usually available for a free trial period of use by download from the web pages for Microsoft and Adobe.
Take a look, pick one, and then just stick with what works for you. Many professionals use both products.
