hey all, im looking for a website creator. anyone knows a good ones?

i need one that you can also visualy drag&drop and one that accepts html code too.

also, as an option, i want it to accept some kind of list files (csv or any other kind of list files) that can be imported into the designer, so it will have a news inside it or different other lists too.

doesnt metter if it will be free or shareware. as long it will be good enough for my desires, i will buy it.

The original visual web editor is Claris Home Page. It's pretty much the Photoshop of web pages.

A free knockoff that has come out recently is Kompozer, and it does a pretty good job, but the code it generates is kind of sloppy.

As far as importing CSV lists and such, I've never heard of that being done to make websites. As far as including blogs and stuff is concerned, I think you might have to write a little PHP code to do something called a server-side include. Either that or you could use JavaScript, but then it might not work all the time. It's such a shame that we don't have a meta-include command.

If you can provide a sample list and give me an idea of what you want it to look like, I can write the php code for ya.

Wiki says that was discontinued over a decade ago.

Amaya and Nvu(now Kompozer I think) are two free options that come to mind. If you're a student anywhere, you can get MS Expression for free.

There's loads of options out there. Judging by your brief explanation; it seems you want to decorate a data view of a series of CSV values.

You can do that in a number of ways;

1
you could go for Phalaex's PHP offer, all you need is an HTML page which features the design you like and just put the HTML in a PHP loop as a wrapper for each entry.

2
If you have XML available; follow my XLST tutorial to use your webbrowser to do the job. See the w3schools site fore more references

3
If you have Excel or Open Office Calc; simply copy and paste the CSV and format it to your requirement; then save as web-page; or save to XML and use idea 2

4
Use your favourite Visual Studio express language to convert the CSV into HTML; then use Visual Web Developer to decorate the result
