How to Make Web Pages With Free Software From PageMaker
If you are familiar with the Adobe PageMaker desktop publishing suite, then you may wish to use it to create webpages. The advantages of using a program like PageMaker is that you can design the page with something you are familiar with, rather than learn new software. PageMaker is a (now discontinued) software package that Adobe charged a fee for, but you can export web pages from it for free. This means you require no additional software to create a web page in PageMaker.
