Hello all all get straight to the point.
I have a personal blog that I’ve run for a year now. As a result I have a little knowledge of html, css.
Now I want to build several descent looking mini sites geared for adsense.
I plan to use original content on all the sites and have niches in mind.
BUT…. I don’t know what to use to build the sites. I keep hearing the following:
Xsitepro: Builds websites easy, cons are that it’s expensive and the sites all look the same. I’m not that concerned about the latter.
Wordpress: Great for seo and has great plugins and it’s free, but its hard to customize. I’m a newbie so I’d have to learn code rather well to make wordpress blogs look like websites.
Dreamweaver: Said to be used by the pros, but it’s expensive, hard to use, and does not create "valid code" always.
I need something that makes fast, descent sites, with good seo.
And I was thinking about using photoshop for graphics work – can I use with all three?
Help me out guys wasting money isn’t cool. Thanks!!!

WordPress can be complex but is definitely worth learning how to customize. Though if you just want to pop out mini sites, there is not real need to use WordPress.
XSitePro 2 is relatively cheap @ $200 and it’s specialty is mini sites. Version 2 has hundreds of relatively nice templates which will keep your sites from looking the same. It is also pretty easy to create your own custom template. Learning curve is pretty low.
Dreamweaver is expensive, but worth every penny.It has WAY more flex than XSitePro and you have no limits to the sites you can build with it. But it has a steep learning curve. Be prepared to learn if you want to use DW. But once you learn it, you will wonder why you used anything else.
Aptana is a free editor that is top notch. It has all the same features as DreamWeaver, only better. Much like DW it has a learning curve, but well worth it. And yes, it is free. They have paid services, but the free program is all you need.
For graphics, Photoshop is king. BUT a couple of good runners up are PAINT.NET and GIMP. Both free and full featured. GIMP is a little complex but a great program. PAINT.NET (not MS Paint) has less features but way more user friendly. Either of these are more than enough for anyone who is not a pro. Once you go pro, you can stick with these or upgrade to Photoshop.
