I am about to design a web site. But I am confused between Dreamweaver and Wordpress. Which one is the best ? What are their feature? What are advantages and disadvantages of each ? This is my first project and I want to make it really impressive and user friendly. Help me to sort it out.
The basic advantage for Wordpress over Dreamweaver interms of the static page designed using Dreamweaver is that one has the control to create a Community using Wordpress. This will help you to make your web site friendly to search engines and thereby making it easily available on search engines. Also the Plug-ins of Wordpress help make you something more than a static web site
I have used Wordpress for developing a Tours and Travel Website. I have full faith in Wordpress than in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG editor ie. "What You See Is What You Get". Using Dreamweaver lets you desing your website but according to me its completely at no use on Intenet. Wordpress is a CMS i.e Content Management System. It establishes a backend for running and updating your website.
I have used Wordpress so I can highlight a few advantages and disadvantages of it.
Advantages include:
. Easy to Add-Edit-Remove Contents.
. Beginners can also get help from a range of tutorials
. There are many plugins and templates which can be used to customize the website.
. Very friendly and easy to use.
Disadvantages include:
. It actually indexes into Google(search engine) differently if not specified.
. It would only do what the plugins or templates allow you to do, thus limiting you unless you know the programming part
