What Program Do You Use To Design Your Web? - Frontpage, Dreamweaver, a good text editor?

miladinoski
How could you possibly recommend Dreamweaver all of you, it is VEEERY pricey and its extremely difficult to use for the begginer. You shouldn't possibly recommend MS FrontPage because it makes the site look allright only in IE (YUK!) and it looks very stupid.
You should start learning HTML and CSS and use a simple Text editor w/ syntax highlight and that means NOT NOTEPAD . I recommend Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ for Win and Gedit for Linux, and I don't know whats available for Mac tongue.gif

OR, you could use a CMS like Worpdress (http://wordpress.org), Movable Type (http://movabletype.org), Joomla or I don't know, whatever suits you...

I use Dreamweaver alot since i have PC and Mac at home.

miladinoski, Dreamweaver isnt expensive if bought standalone and if you have a reasonable budget. Also, notepad++ is really good too biggrin.gif, isnt as bloated as Dreamweaver. Recommended for beginners or hobbyist.

I'm not a real web designer, but whenever I want to get a piece of HTML code done, I just use Wordpad (plain text, like Notepad without seeing those squared characters instead of the breaklines). They're just fine, and do the work great, specially combined with Firefox + Web Developer add-on. It's very easy, once you get used to it.
For PHP, I use a program called PHPEditor, which highlights the pieces of code (quite useful) and is really simple.

I was a beginner when I started using Dreamweaver CS3. It's one of the easiest ways to start learning html and CSS. I did it by keeping the view in split so that whatever I do in the design mode, I see how the Dreamweaver generates the code.

I started using NP++ last year for various things and just fell in love with this thing. Now it's my default application for .ini, . inf, .txt and many others.

Did you know that a Microsoft tool is usually the wrong tool for a job?

Nowadays I tend to use Dreamweaver as it let's you edit in both design and code modes. I would only reccomend it for moderate to advanced users though as it can be quite expensive and may contain alot of features that are just too hard to use.

I used to use a little known program called Namo Web Editor when I was just beginning, although I don't know what it's like now as I haven't used it in a few years. Plus I think it was made here in Australia so it might be a little hard to track down.

The other option (which is probably the cheapest too) is to use the web design software from coffeecup, I've used it a little in the past and recommend it to mates that are just starting. It's unbelievably easy to use and you can purchase extra software like flash creators which are just as easy to use, and they're pretty cheap too.

Hope this make things a little easier for you

I think that FrontPage is more suitable for kiddy kiddies. Microsoft Corp. never ever will learn to respect its costumers. The same things is valid with Windows! Like they all want to code for illiterate people!

I prefer DreamWeaver. Great software. It is designed both easy to use and flexible with a lot of help resources installed. Comparing FrontPage with DW is like to compare MS Movie Maker with Liquid Purple!

I like to use Syn. It's a code/text editor that highlight syntax for html, java, php...
It's small and cool!

I know this sounds stupid, but most of the things i do, I just use notepad!
I dont like using WYSIWYG editors, because I find they over complicate the code.
And I dont like using code highlighting software, or code editors with "add ins" as they distract me from the workings of the code.
Also, when was the last time (under reasonable conditions) you saw notepad crash?

    Many folks asking about best html editor available, and I notice nobody seems to know about MS

    trial for download on Microsoft's website. Yes, I hate frontpage as much as anyone, but I lost
