iWeb is Apple’s easy-to-use software for making quick, simple web sites, and it’s part of the inexpensive ($70) iLife software package. I’ve used it for the Group of 10 Wedding Photographers web site. Is there anything comparable for our friends who use Windows and don’t need professional-level design software like Dreamweaver? I’ve found these candidates in the under $100 price range:

Kompozer

CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer

Easy Web Editor

Google Page Creator

And there’s Microsoft Expression Web, about $150, which looks like a more advanced program.

Would anyone like to share their experience with the above, or recommend other simple web design software in the under $100 price range?

The Friends of Montessori Foundation held its annual benefit auction and dinner last week.  Proceeds from the event support a scholarship fund for children at the wonderful Montessori House in Tenafly, New Jersey. This year’s event was held at the exciting Velocity 17 entertainment center in Maywood, New Jersey, where attendees could enjoy kart racing before the auction.  Those karts can go fast!  And thanks to a skilled auctioneer from Sotheby’s, the live auction items went quickly too.  I was extremely pleased to see that my portrait session sold for $1,400.
