    Yeah, I wouldn't go with them. Their sites don't look very good/professional at all. If you're gonna spend £350, go buy DreamWeaver and make your own site.

    Well I tried the Demo and I liked it because it was a lot easier to make tables for me, I sucked at it so badly. And tables is almost essential for good webdesign. Now I use it to design the layout or template of the site, and then I use Good Ol' Notepad to edit it.

    php isnt a design markup code, its a programing language... php can embed standard html (tables, frames, etc...) but it does nothign to make up for them.

    php is used to make more complex and dynamic pages, cal databases in and much more...
