I know very little HTML . I have Coffee cup Html program . To help change some html .With web expression 4
I design my first web site template using Web Expression 4 ..
I am using Godaddy for hosting .
I had some issues with expression 4 . I called godaddy . They said I need to get newer program .This is a out dated program .. But we fixed the issue ..
What Coffee program would I need ? easy to use for a 4 plus page . May grow over time , but kept simple
What I like about Expression 4 is the DWT Dynamic Web Template .
Would coffee cup have the same program ?
Would Coffee cup import my site ?
Here is my working site ..

I don't know Web Expression, and I don't know if that DWT is for editing online or not.
If it is for online editing, CoffeeCup has not got anything matching that.

But if the purpose of that template is editing some parts, that appear on all the pages, only in one place (typically header, footer, navigation), HTML Editor has a library feature, where you can create the menu just once and then include it on all the pages. With HTML Editor you can't avoid coding, though, but you can import your site into the progamme and go from there.

Another Coffeecup programme, where you don't have to mess very much with code, is RSD (Responsive Siter Designer). It will let you make responsive pages (can be made in HTML Editor too, but you'll have to know the code). But it is not possible to import an existing site into RSD, so you will have to start from square 1.

You can download a trial version of RSD and play with it for 3 weeks to find out if it is something you want to use. And there will always be people here in this forum who can help if you get stuck - just holler! ;)

If you are not particularly code savvy, I think you will prefer RSD over RLM. :)
