Create homepage with Mac - the best programs

If you want to create your own homepage, you do not need to have any programming experience. In this practical tip, we present some programs for your Mac that will help you create the website.

Create websites on your Mac - Wordpress

The easiest way to create a website is with WordPress. This project was actually only intended for blogs. Since it is so easy, even organizations and companies create websites with WordPress.

• You can start your website with Wordpress in a few minutes: Wordpress is known for its 5-minute installation - it doesn't take more time.
• Using plugins and themes, you can customize your website even without programming knowledge. You can find many such extensions on the Internet.
• More detailed instructions from Wordpress can be found here.

NVU: The easy entry

With the freeware NVU you can create a website without any programming knowledge. All elements of the page are brought into the correct position only with the mouse.

• Move pictures, text fields and links like in a Word document. NVU ensures the correct programming of the website in the background.
• The program works on the principle "What you see, is what you get". Your website will later look exactly the way you arrange the pictures and text elements in the workspace.
• With NVU you can then upload your finished website directly to a server via FTP.

For professionals: program the website yourself

If you already have initial programming experience in HTML, CSS, PHP or JavaScript, you can also program your website yourself. You can either use the freeware NVU or the Adobe software Dreamweaver for this.

• Dreamweaver can show you a first preview while programming and supports you with formatting and colors.
• You can use Dreamweaver with HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, ColdFusion XML and many other programming languages.
• As part of the Adobe Suite, Dreamweaver works with programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop, but it is also noticeably more complicated to use.
