FastTrack's Web To Date 2.0 basically aims to enable a completely inexperienced user to put a Web site together with little trouble, encompassing the design, structuring, and uploading of a site. I have tried this program and I must say it doesn't so much hand-hold you through many of the technical parts of
Web site creation. It shields you from them altogether by only really putting the site itself together when you instruct it to. It is very simple to input your text through a simple Word-esque window, bring in movies, images, and sounds. The handling of links and sub-pages is very manageable, and the program keeps track of missing links on your site at your behest. Thus, you'll find out if something's amiss long before your site has gone live. Uploading is a very easy process for almost everyone.
But Web To Date 2.0's user-friendliness comes with a hefty trade-off, which is what your page is going to be defined by what Web To
Date 2.0 actually allows you to do. There are umpteen templates and designs that you can base your site on (some of which are surprisingly strong), but where the program falters is in letting you go your own way when you want to, denying you the flexibility to add precise and individual touches. But I think much of the program's market will happily accept this as a compromise.
