Which is the best Software in web designing?

allena · Jun 24, 2008

Please anybody tell me about the software for web designing.

Albino · Jun 24, 2008

in what respect?

the code, I use notepad++ and smart ftp. Dreamweaver is good though for the all in one package.

to design, most people use photoshop/illustrator

wisdomtool · Jun 24, 2008

I would go for Dreamweaver, it does not have a steep learning curve, a beginners can pick up the skills and a professional can really do wonders on it.

if that is about webdesigning then there are lot of Adobe and other Tools, try any of them of your choice and requirements ie. Adobe Photoshop CS3, Fireworks etc.

If you're a begginer, Dreamweaver should satisfy your every need. As for graphics -- Adobe or Corel tools.

Designing - Adobe Photoshop CS3 (buy it, don't be a loser who pirates it)
Coding - Notepad++ for the HTML and Topstyle Lite for the CSS (both of those are free)

Does flash also need any software?

Sapphiro · Aug 14, 2008

For flash, get adobe flash (previously known as macromedia flash). I believe that's the only programme used for flash, but there are other alternative to flash such as Silverlight from microsoft, but they dont deal with flash btw, just something quite similar. :hehe:

For design, Photoshop seems like the best, although very expensive.

For coding, I recommend Aptana Studio as a free alternative to Dreamweaver. It makes designing and coding much easier, with validation features (sort of like Word's inline error underlining) and built-in FTP. Coding is nice, and typing something like ( or { will automatically insert a ) or } after it (once you finish typing what's in the parentheses, press enter to move the cursor past it). Indenting is automatic, and you can contract/expand blocks of HTML/code. (For example, there will be a - sign to the left of the <body> tag, and pressing it will collapse the entire body.) The only feature it lacks is line-wrapping, which has been pointed out and is due to some conflict with some eclipse platform that they use.

Aptana seems to be even better than Dreamweaver, and it's worked fabulously for me. You can download it here: http://www.aptana.com/. (For PHP, you'll have to download a plug-in.)

although expensive adobe products are the best by far

adobe photoshop is best for graphics... GIMPShop will work in a pinch as a free alternative... or if you have a second machine that you dont want to license photoshop on but need some sort of graphics editor

notepad++ is good for handcoding... but dreamweaver for WYSIWYG

ddm · Sep 15, 2008

your brain, your hands, and good code

The best software is:

a text editor depending on your platform:

notepad or textwrangler

a solid grasp of xhtml and css

in addition to coding Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator are key

Flash is great once you have mastered everything I mentioned above

weblord · Sep 15, 2008

there's no software but only rests with the designer themselves i for one uses dreamweaver, can also use notepad, also can use frontpage, the software is made best by the users (humans) themselves.

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator - No fight at all. Both rock!

I'm certainly checking this out. Thanks.

I use dreamweaver, notepad++ and wordpad.

Barrucadu · Sep 15, 2008

I personally use GIMP, and Emacs - never been happier.

koytsompolio.com · Sep 16, 2008

Dream weaver is an easy to use website builder + ur site looks profecional

Mike · Sep 17, 2008

Unless you're building a new concept site, similar to www.cavemanscrib.com, i'd go with a CMS (Joomla) and build my own graphics with Photoshop CS3 or Fireworks, which i found to be very useful as well.
