[P1] website creation programs

[Michael Flournoy]

  Although cheaper than GoLive, Freeway is not inexpensive. ($230 is too 
steep for me.) They do have a competitive upgrade from Pagemill which I 
could do but they don't tell you the price until you fill out the 
forms. Grrr.
I find it really strange that this market is not properly served.  
Thank goodness for Composer or I would have given up.
   BTW, when I searched around the internet and asked people for a 
website program I never heard Composer mentioned. I already had the 
program I needed in Mozilla and didn't even know it. Sometimes I think 
the OpenSource guys should try packaging and selling their products. 
They do it with Linux Distros, why not programs also? Buy a copy of 
Mozilla/Composer for $50 and get a how-to book and 60 days e-mail help. 
I would have done it. Frontpage is popular not because it's so good but 
because it's in the store and marketed at an accessible price.
