Try using PHP or Mason to create templates. That will save you a lot of time. Also, b/c something is a GUI, such as WYSIWYG applications, does not mean you can develop web sites faster in my opinion. I find that I had to always debug the (X)HTML in both Dreamweaver and FrontPage to get it right. Using CSS will help you make your web sites really cool. Check out my web site and clink on the CSS themes below the left picture, www.amerasianworld.com. Not only can you easily change the colors, you can also change the layout (my next future task for my web site). The key is to structure your (X)HTML document properly. The nice thing about XHTML is that it requires less code and you can finally get rid of those bandwidth eating tables. CSS can cut your web page file sizes up to around 50 percent. That is great news if you are concerned about bandwidth. If you want a server, you should definately emerge one of the Apache servers. I have PHP and mod_php installed plus Perl. There are a lot of online documents that can tell you how to set up an Apache server. I am in the same boat as you in regards to horrible ISPs. I am with Comcast in the states. We are currently not allowed to run servers and they also give us dynamic IPs. I am thinking about also getting Earthlink DSL just for my server in the future who allow the purchase of static IPs.
