| | Hey guys I use dreamweaver to code my sites, I heard even though the "hardcore" people dont use it, its at least better than front page. And what I was wondering is are there any website building/helping tools or programs besides those two? I havent heard of any but I figured there might be a few more. The other question I had was ive been hearing alot about CSS and layers. I know what CSS is and have been trying to incorperate that into my site when/wherever possible However what are layers? And can you reccomend a good book on webdesign? I dont want a "for dummies!" one cause I know some HTML and CSS but id really like to have a good referince book for the intermediate designer.
Thanks in advance

I used to use this tool. It's called Web Page Maker. It's not free but you download a trial copy of it for nothing and then pay the full $50 (Ģ26) later on. I don't know any books however. I've found that if you google enough times you can find all the html/css you'll ever need to know online. Finally, please don't sign your name on the end of your posts.

If your looking for a reference and stuff, you can try W3Schools. They have everything that you will ever need to know about the web and stuff. Here is a link, try them out. Everything I mean... CSS TutsHTML TutsMain Page (Home)Those are good for beginners and stuff, so please enjoy. Let me know if they helped, otherwise I don't know where to go.

I design websites for businesses and I use Dreamweaver MX '04 and Flash MX '04. Flash is an awesome program to use for advanced sites or sites with animation. I use flash either as a top page title and buttons, or for the entire page. Coffee cup web editor is another webdesign tool that's pretty good, but is made mostly for updating. EZ-Generator is a site maker that uses mostly templates. Coffee Cuphttp://www.coffeecup.com/Flashhttp://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/EZ-Generatorhttp://www.ezgenerator.com/

I first learned how to code in HTML after taking a computers class in high school. Back then, we had to make a working website as part of a school assignment. All we were allowed to use was notepad. Dreamweaver / Frontpage were strongly discouraged. A few years later (and forgetting most of the HTML I had once learned), I felt like building a website again. I decided to give Dreamweaver a shot and found it to be really easy to use. Lots of flexibility and nifty features. By switching between coder/designer views, I kind of re-taught myself HTML and using the dual view/features, opened up to a lot more tweaking (not to mention getting more done in less time). I haven't worked with Frontpage so I can't really comment on it. I recently toyed around with CSS but I have not quite figured it out yet. There's a website at http://www.cssbeauty.comthat showcases a lot of nice looking examples of websites that use CSS. Good luck with your web designing!

well ther you have it vic, using dreamwever is a great way to learn how to code in css. as you can select a premade css template and follow it and edit it. Also I say if you have the programs and if you have the knowlegde just use everything you have.. the more resources the better.

I user Dreamweaver to design my webpages, I also, I'm learning CSS, I know that CSS is a very good tool to make dinamic site, where we need to manintain the same format... I think CSS is very very useful. Because we can create classes to include in the site... So, I had never use FrontPage, but I will do it to test  Good luck to everybody!

I would recommend Dreamweaver. Of course that itīll put some rubbish in your code but much less than Frontpage and itīs an estandar. I mean, youīll find lot of resources and tutorials to make websites in Dreamweaver so I think itīs the best option to learn making websites. You can also learn code and make it with notepad, which is the best option to make sure that the site only contents what you want, but you have to know html and css very well not to get confused and notepad wonīt help you to locate errors. But itīs the best option if you have deep knowledge of web-design.

OK as a programmer of all sorts and not just web development, i used to use notepad and then went to coffee cup because i liked the text coloring, etc. Then i started using dreamweaver because it made life a lot easier for some of the development but it still wasnt anything that special plus it isnt cheap. So, i decided to try one last thing. As a developer i have used the eclipse project for java and c++ development and its a great ide. So one day i was looking through open source projects for it and i stumbled on a html/php plugin for it and tried it. It rocks. It not only finishes the closing tags for you, but it also validates, debugs, etc. all of your code and tells you where you have issues in a much better fashion than dreamweaver. Whats even better is that it is free. So i use eclipse when i am windows. However, if i am currently in linux, i also use eclipse but if it is just for something small and easy, the basic xemacs text editor (way better than notepad) makes life easy for the small things.

it sounds like the majority of the people use dreamweaver, also it's just like anything else, why would you make the same ting from scratch over and over, especially when you already have a premade template, or and easy plug in and go. Im mean you can still do exactly what you want, and if you you know how to code on note pad with out using dreamweaver wwll its just a plus..
