I always storyboard my sites and get a programmer to build them. I want to learn how to do it myself.... what is the best programme for this without learnin code?

[stuartpurple]

Dreamweaver MX. Fully intergratable with all Macromedia S/W and some Adobe too. There is a 30 day trial on affer at Macromedia to try with. I did and used Flash animations, and other widgets too. I am also new to the web creation side and know sweet FA code.
Bon chance.

You might as well try both Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive since they both have free 30-day downloadable trials and they do the same things. You might see that one fits your preferences better than the other. I think both programs work in either OS 9 or OS X so that is not a worry.
Both progs are very deep and you might want to take a class or get a tutorial book to help you sort out the features because they both have sophisticated features you may want to avoid at first. If you haven't done more than storyboard a site, the book or class is also a good idea because neither program will show you the best way to assemble a particular site. In the same way that handing me an automotive toolbox won't make me a mechanic, those programs are just toolboxes and it would be easy to waste hours of your life unintentionally using the tools in an inefficient way.

I agree with Mystery Stain. A small amount of tuition serves very well. I bought the Visual Quick Start and found it very useful. Classes and different books may work better for you, but I prefer to play and refer to tutorials and stuff when I need to do something different.
Bon chance.

With a techie outlook, you will eventually want to learn a little HTML; that's not programming, just tags (not scary). That way when you start adding in the programming driven items, you will know how they all fit together. The best nuts and bolts HTML editor is BBedit, no typos with the drop down menus. You have total control.

Hi,
like some other suggested you might want to check a few web sites adressing html to get some basics. You can also view any page source, I remember when I began I was trying to spot some of the web page text in it's source code version and that was my (hard but worth it) way of learning some of the code.
This said, it is much easier with some of the suggested software and to begin you might want to take a look at netscape's composer, included with every netscape versions. Also use netscape help on how to use composer.
Hope this helps
Ben
