The general question is, if anyone has used Kompozer or some other Linux app AND a MS type app like Frontpage or Expression Web or some OTHER such app so that one can do a comparison ........
to compare this and that, not "speed" or "ease of use", but specifically, like "this thing on this app seems to be more intuitive because..." or "the layout of this is better than that..."
Also, since this is intended for people who have not made a web site, try to not use abbreviations such as CSS without defining them once, if they have not already been defined by another poster.
In other words some specifics about why you like a Linux web site builder over a MS one.
Maybe a better way to say it would be, given that it is all HTML....is there something that the Linux app can DO....better than the MS app....like....make a banner wrap around text or something..I don't know.. that's why I'm asking.
Comments, I think, should be pointed at any possible new users to making a web site here at the forum.
Specifically, in the space of a couple of weeks I have been asked to become involved with a certain operation which will have a domain and then 5 subdomains each with their own specific "sites", I will be making the "sites" and not doing ANY of the rest of it.
I've used FrontPage to build 4 sites and tried Expression Web and it is just OVERkill but it also does not have "FrontPage extensions" which, basically are kind of useless now anyway, considering the capabilities of the companies like GoDaddy et. al.
But, also I was required to use Nvu (relatively primitive, but can still produce good stuff if you know scripting etc.) when I was taking a class on online teaching...so...anyway....
The last time I tried to use Kompozer was maybe a year ago and had to fall back onto FrontPage ....
What I PERSONALLY would really like to try to do is after I've made a few of the sites using the generic site builder and/or FrontPage.. then pop one up for consideration made with a Linux app like Kompozer... 8)
So...comments?

A curious aside about what goes on with some web site building is that the site I made last year was for a guy running for political office and even after I had made exactly the site he wanted he was forced by the "power structure" to let "their" website person/company redo the site and put it within theirs, he basically had no control over it, if he wanted to change something he had to get the approval of many people...and of course......he had to pay several FEES! >
