I've used freepages previously for hosting a couple of websites but they were both created several years ago using Front Page. I now have Web Plus v4 and am wondering if this is compatible with rootsweb freepages? Many thanks Sheila
Sheila, As you will already know, WebPlus 4 is a upmarket webpage WYSIWYG editor. Developed by SERIF, a well known purveyor of Graphics software, they have incorporated a large variety of that software into their webpage products. My examination of the User Manual (320 pages) shows that they have provided extensive tutorials, but I often wonder if the time spent getting your head around every subject in the manual could be better spent getting to grips with the basics of HTML coding. In the WebPlus 4 product, I note that extensive use is made of dragging objects into the desired position on a page, which ultimately requires the software to produce a large amount of HTML / CSS positioning code. This leads to what is commonly called "code bloat". I have also found that Javascript and the jQuery library version of it are used heavily. There are a number of features available in the package that wouldn't be permitted on FreePages, such as e.commerce scripts and video player implementations. Additional HTML code can be inserted in certain areas of each page, but the software produced code is not editable, i.e. doing so will lead to internal errors. Overall, the extensive use of graphics interfaces provides the ability to produce good looking webpages, though at the expense of "code bloat". On a positive note, I could find no evidence of server-side scripting, e.g. PHP etc..
