Disclaimer: If you are an expert web designer then this blog post is not for you :) ; this is meant only for Dummies like me who doesn't have even very basic knowledge of website creation concepts.
My core interest is in Testing (i.e. breaking things, complaining about problems, shouting here and there on why things are not working etc. etc. :D) ; I never thought about the amount of effort that is actually needed to get a simple thing like static website working. Seriously, finding issues in working things is lot lot lot lot more easier that actually get those things working.
I was searching for easy solution to create a website with static content; hosting server 'GoDaddy' I immediately finalized (based on my brother's recommendation) but I was not sure about the tool to use for creating those static pages. While browsing internet I suddenly saw Dreamweaver which reminded me my college days. I used Dreamweaver little bit in college, but that was around 4-5 years before and I didn't remember a bit about what Dreamweaver was like at that time.
So based on that fact that at least name of Dreamweaver is looking familiar; I downloaded trail version from here (CS6). Luckily I found this link for a video on internet in which integration of Dreamweaver to FTP server of GoDaddy was explained; the Dreamweaver version that they are showing in the video is probably some older version, still it was not tough to figure out the same settings in CS6. With 3-4 lines of settings for remote server in Dreamweaver I was able to directly sync my content with the content on GoDaddy FTP server!! I am not going to explain minute details of those settings here as I believe Dreamweaver UI is very intuitive and using the video, for which I shared the link above, it is very easy to figure out exact steps.
Our website is still under construction but the easiness provided by Dreamweaver (at least in syncing the content) is awesome!!.
Keep tuned for coming post on UI Redressing attack and usage statistics for 'X-FRAME-OPTIONS' in reference to Indian websites.
