ir_cow Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I don't know how easy Adobe Dreamweaver is to learn but I like it a lot. Never ending amount of options and flexibility but I think what you will need is MySQL access and some PHP knowledge to make a site that requires you to log in.

Prunes Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I started using Dreamweaver for a simple project at school. And I find it very intuitive. Loads of tutorials with a quick google search, nice interface and just plain simple to get started while I'm sure it's still viable for most semi-pro work.

austincarven Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hello, In case you decide on Joomla, I can recommend you a page that describes how to add SMS functionality to Joomla (http://www.sms-integration.com/how-to-connect-joomla-to-sms-service-133.html). Since you wrote that you have a House Washing business this feature might come handy for your business. I hope you will find my recommendation useful.
