Publisher's description of Actual Drawing 6.0
From PY Software:Actual Drawing is a visual publishing tool that helps you make Web pages without you having to know HTML, allowing you to drag and drop page content. The program has its own image-manipulation tools so you don't need to use a third-party image editor. Web page content can be drawn with various effects such as glow, shadow, or transparency. Resolution-independent vector layers can be resized without loss of quality. The program has easy-to-use tools for preparing custom rollover buttons; it creates necessary images and JavaScript. In addition, Actual Drawing has features for publishing your site, creating forms, and making Web albums. You can check broken links and submit your pages to search engines.

Version: Actual Drawing 6.0
"It works, but NVU is free and better."
Pros: They say this is a product for someone who doesn't know anything about html, and it sure is, but i know a little html, but i can't even apply it in this program!
Cons: It costs money, and not a small price. The better choice would be NVU or if you want to spend money, Frontpage.

Version: Actual Drawing 6.0
Pros: I've been using a previous version (5.7) for quite some time now and have been generally pleased with it. I did download the new version and found absolutely no difference between the two. Their website offers no information as to changes made between versions. Anyway, I don't do languages, so I needed a decent WYSIWYG editor. From the first time I used this I've been happy with it. I have to say that my site looks a heck of a lot better than many I see out there, but I also take a different approach to design than a lot of webmasters, and I do much of my graphics designing with Photoshop and import the graphics in. My site does work flawlessly with IE, Mozilla and Opera browsers, so I'm not understanding the complaints about that issue.
Cons: The features are based on how much you want to spend. Want frames? Gotta spend more. My original site had no frames, but now I use them. I'm cheap, so I've been creating the framesets with Frontpage, and doing the pages themselves with Actual Drawing. A major pain in the butt, but I see no reason to spend an additional $50 just to make a frameset. Overall this isn't a bad program, but their support is pretty bad, as is their own website. I'm looking into SiteSpinner now to see how I like it, but Actual Drawing really isn't too bad. I'm happy to keep using it if I have to.

Version: Actual Drawing 6.0
Pros: The webpages it gernerates work flawlessly with the majority of commonly used bvrowsers. It has a simple user interface that even a novice computer user (AKA monkey) can navigate. Simple effects can be generated with ease. Ne external program besides a browser is needed to complete the experience. Resizing and positioning are childs play...
Cons: When I installed the Actual Drawing program I was ready to spit out beautiful webages in a matter of seconds. My adrenaline was pumping I rushed through the various menus that lead to the shorcut that opened the program and found... a quite bland user interface that had little intuitive value and reeked of Windows 95. I looked through the emaciated templates that stared back at me as a sad attempt of at every internet fad ever... Annoying javascript menus, half-baked effects, and ill-matched colors. After I had finished my first webpage, I decided to export to html and get my hands into the real code. I was only dissapointed as I found that the html output was only javascript... I was hoping for css or something. Good thing I know javascript :).

Version: Actual Drawing 6.0
Pros: It's great! If you're new...
Cons: Well... doesn't really challenge me... It's like those "make you're own homepage" sites where its all done in advance, where the only thing you have to do is type in the blank boxes!
