NVU
Nvu (pronounced "N-view," for a "new view") is a free, open source software program that allows you to build websites and web pages using a simple WYSIWYG editor (what-you-see-is-what-you-get). Nvu makes creating web pages as easy as using a word processor and rivals such programs as Adobe's Dreamweaver and Microsoft's Expression Web, only for free! With Nvu's built-in site manager, connecting to your website and making changes is a snap.
Building Your First Website with Nvu
Building a website with Nvu is super easy. You can have a site up and running in no time with these three simple steps:
1. Get a Domain Name. You can do this at the same time you do #2 if you like. Dotster provides both domain name registration and web hosting. (Use
coupon code 'Nvu' for 15% off.)
2. Get a Hosting Provider. If you don't want to set up your own server, you can use a 3rd party hosting service. These services have gotten incredibly
affordable and there are many good companies to choose from. We'd recommend using Dotster as they are a quality provider and a sponsor of this site.
You can also save 15% off your entire order by using the coupon code 'Nvu' at their site.
3. Use Nvu to Create Web Pages. Once you have a server, you simply use the built-in FTP site manager in Nvu to connect to your site and start creating
web pages. It's as easy as using a word processor. We'd recommend you check out the many tutorial videos users have created on YouTube to help you get
started.
