my brother teach dreamweaver and flash at the university, this is the standard for webdesign, macromedia have brought out a simplified  version for about £70 for clients to make differences themself,so they did not have to constantly pay companies for changes , forgot what it is called but check out thier site

My website was done with Dreamweaver. The software I have to be able to make changes is called Contribute 3 and cost about £120. Really easy to use and upload changes.

Regards Karl

When you say you are thinking of moving to the area. Do you mean Chesterfield or WFP? I got my kit from Facelift.

The facelift gear is good quality and the new poles they have developed are excellent. I live very close to their unit and call in most weeks to see them. The new poles can be seen on the Cleantech (http://cleantech.co.uk/) site. They are very very light weight and thin yet still very strong. Dan at facelift proved the strength of the tube by hitting an IBC cage repeatedly as hard as he could without even marking the surface.

Mick

I just noticed  :o you are Cleantech as well :-\ any link?

Hi Mick, the name is just a coincidence. Is Facelift the same company that hires the cherry pickers etc.

I did mine with www.fasthosts.co.uk. 

I'm a complete beginner.  Mine cost me £7.99 for my domain name and £3.99 a month for hosting and that included setting up my site using a template (but they have loads of templates you could use and customise).  See my past posts, where I've gone more indepth about it.
