Compare and Contrast
April 9, 2008TextEdit:
With TextEdit you can manipulate your site way more than with any kind of web creator. With TextEdit you can make the site your own. Some disadvantages are that it takes more time to create the website and more mistakes could be made. I’d use TextEdit if I had a lot of time to make the site, and if I really felt the need to make the site my own, and not use a pre-made template.
iWeb
I personally like iWeb because it’s quick and clean. I like how there’s a wide variety of templates and you don’t have to take a lot of time to figure out the HTML and other coding issues. Some disadvantages are you’re limited to the templates they give you, and you cannot make it 100% your own. I’d use iWeb if I had a short amount of time to make the website and the deadline was irritating me to a point where I can’t do HTML without stressing out.
Google Page Maker
I personally only liked this because of the games. The templates are kind of plain and there are not many of them at all. I don’t like this one and I am not going to post any advantages about it because I don’t think there are any that iWeb doesn’t have. I’d only use this to play the games they have and to make a plain website if it was a quick job.
Out of all of them I think I’d use iWeb the most, but TextEdit is not really a problem for me either. I prefer both of them over Google Page Maker for sure.
If I could create a web page designer I’d make something like iWeb, but possibly give them more options for templates. Also there would be an option where they could edit the template with HTML.
