In contemporary western society, due to its inherent capitalistic
system, there are many suppliers of website building packages
that enable consumers to develop their own websites. Although
there are different functions embedded into each software
package, there are a few popular website building packages
that are available on the market to ensure efficient websites
for beginners.
Dreamweaver:
The
software package “Dreamweaver” produced by Adobe
is very easy to use, and is effective as computer graphics
are able to be quickly designed and work well once on the
website. If the web designer does not want to design the
graphics, this software program allows graphics from an outside
source to be incorporated into their website. Videos are
also able to be incorporated into the website due to an ability
to have external links. Dreamweaver is commonly referred
to as being one of the easiest software application packages
to use for web developers who are beginners. However, although
this software program is suitable for people who are beginners
at designing websites, the Dreamweaver software may not be
suitable for those who are proficient at website building
and who want to advance their websites by incorporating more
interactive images and commands.
Director
MX:
Director
MX is a more advanced website building package that allows
users the ability to have control over timing of when images
appear on the screen, and how images make their appearance
on the screen. For example, by using the software Director
8.5, users have the ability to make an image dissolve or
enlarge when a user puts the mouse button over a particular
button. Although there is a lot more work that needs to be
put into this software package in order to make the website
function properly, more special effects can also be incorporated
to attract readers’ attentions.
