I currently have a website that is flash...problem is imac/iphone users and even some android phones can't view my website!
I need an easy(drag and drop)with minimal HTML coding needed(I know the basics)website creator that is non-flash. I get completly lost in dreamweaver and sandbox. any suggestions?

My photos page is Flash - and I'm not sure how to work around that - but the other pages are not, and the program is pretty easy to use.  I created, uploaded and update my site 100% on my own, and I've never taken a related class.  I am, however, generally fairly computer savvy....

Vistaprint or Wix. Wix generates a mobile site and has funkier templates. Vistaprint's site are non flash based and your web address does not have the m.xxxxsite.com web address. Both are comparable in cost. Though with Vistaprint I found it more difficult to view analytics than with Wix, which allows you to enter the code for Google analytics. Wix also had me further up in the search engines faster. Also, the keywords & metatags were easier to define in Wix. I'm definitely going back to Wix... Owning 6 domain names, building websites seems to be a never ending project!

Hope this helps,

Olivia
I use Wix now(although I don't pay) and yet iPhone users still can't view it. And some androids show my main page but the subpages show a box with a green arrow?

or a point and shoot site designer...
taught myself html, dhtml, xml,css, php, etc. and code by hand in notepad++ or sometimes dreamweaver just for it's ability to auto-complete tags which speeds things up a bit.

that said, I know folks that use the website tonight stuff you can get on godaddy or other with hosting packages.

For Miss Natasha Lynne,
to get around a flash gallery, have you considered a javascript library such a jquery or mootools?
even a php gallery is pretty easy with imagemagick or zend.

Cayden, I'm pretty sure moonfruit uses Flash. My ATF has a moonfruit site, and I can't see it from my iPad.

Ah, interesting. I'll have to tell my ATF. Maybe she can fix her site to work for iPhone/iPad pretty easily.

I started a thread a few weeks ago about requesting iPad friendly (non-flash) sites, so thank you for being kind.  By the way, all Macs can see flash sites...only iPhones and iPads can't do flash. The sooner the web gets away from flash, the better we'll all be!
