Is Publisher a good program for designing web pages?

I want to design a fairly simple static brochure style webpage. Is Publisher
going to work for me, or should I invest the $ and time in Dreamweaver?
(will I have problems uploading to host?)

If you are willing to spend money, why aren't you looking at FrontPage?
Publisher can do the job but it is meant to be used as a desktop publishing
program. The web aspect is not it's primary purpose. You can do a website
with Word too but the same thing applies there.

Will you have trouble uploading? No clue - we don't know what your skill
level is.

I am debating spending money on any program for websit publishing as I only
have one site to build, but to answer your question, Dreamweaver came highly
recommended. I will look into FrontPage too. Thanks

Less money - and if you can use Word/Publisher, you can use FrontPage enough
to do a site.
