The best web design program?

[Burnsie]

I am currently building a website and I was wondering what the best, web design program is. At the moment I'm using Dreamweaver but I'm not too good at it.

Or Frontpage. :p
It's nice and simple, I like that.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

ya, but as i said, hehe. Dreamweaver is just as easy as fp, hehe

 

[Mr. Websites]

No, I'm going to use Frontpage and there's nothing you can do about it. :p

 

[iDeviseFlash]

Really. Dang it, i need to meet my convert from the evil side quota

Frontpage is always trying to stick Microsoft propaganda in your web pages, I swear. I use notepad, PS7, fireworks, mspaint, and this handy-dandy little program for colors called the "Colourificator". You can find it at http://colourificator.sitekit.net

lol, paint? Well, i mean, it is free, but, lol...

 

[cutterofcloth]

Heh, I use it when I'm thinking up a rough outline of a page so that I can then turn it into code.

IMO, Notepad sucks so bad. Manually typing out HTML is very "old school" now. Dreamweaver makes all the code for you (most of the time it's perfectly good code too) and you don't have to type a single line of HTML.

I mean sure, I know a fair bit of HTML, but frankly, I don't bother any more. My opinion though...

 

[Mr. Websites]

Nah, I started off by learning every bit of HTML. The fact that these applications don't require you to type anything is a plus.

DW adds extra spaces in code sometimes, which can throw off the design if your using tables ect

only thing good about dreamweaver is syntax highlighting, and you can get that in a basic editer that you don't have to pay for, the wysiwyg part..eh. never have liked any programs like that

 

[iDeviseFlash]

ya, lol. Notepad is what u use if DW screws you over, lol. And as Mr. said, you have to know html either way. And if you use dreamweaver and never check the code view, then thats just lazy :p

PHOTOSHOP CS!!!!

 

[iDeviseFlash]

haha, i heard that CS has some bugs. is anything really dif from 7? i gurantee i can do anything in 7 that u can in CS :p

 

[Brian]

i want to get CS, just don't feel like dishing out the 169 (i think thats how much it is to upgrade) to upgrade to it

I learnt HTML. But now I have dreamweaver And I'm always checking my code to type in the CSS that dreamweaver can't do. I only have DW 4.0.

Using DW and then going into the code and cleaning it up a bit works great. Saves alot of time and still produces good results.

Also, I'm tired of people who say notepad is the best, because it isn't. Those people should get scriptworx. Its free. Its just like notepad except it does highlighting which is a great plus.
