Just wondering what you think are the best tools for building a web site. I have front page anything out their better dreamweaver ect. What do you use? Thanks
In a linux environment: - vi(m) - or your preferred editor - firefox - with webdeveloper extension - IE - running on WINE - Photoshop - for GFX design, again running on WINE (sorry, the GIMP sucks) - browsercam.com - for comprehensive browser testing In a windows environment: - notepad - or your preferred editor - firefox - with webdeveloper extension - IE - you have to, 90% of people use it! - Photoshop - for GFX design - browsercam.com - for comprehensive browser testing
dreamweaver mx 2004 and fireworks mx 2004 are all i ever use - and i've done websites for companies... love photoshop... still use it for making tarpaulin posters bec. it's the only graphics app out there that can handle really large images - and the printing shops love psd. but for websites, it's not nearly as fast as fireworks
Ouch! I used front page in the late 90's. It's a fine tool I suppose. DW is soooo much better. You should give it a shot.
dreamweaver MX and Photoshop. If you are a student, and can prove it, you can get the software dirt cheap (in comparison to retail) from any of many sites offering acadenic discounts. I paid roughly $100 for Illustrator 2 yrs ago.
I use allaire homesite 4. Even though macromedia has released homesite 5, I still prefer version 4 because it has a built in html validator which version 5 doesnt have.
I was wondering when I would find one of these threads here. In short, a text editor is the answer. In long... see my rant "To Dream, Weave, Or Read the Front Page". forums.iwdn.net/viewtopic.php?t=331
I love working with Dreamweaver, I used notepad, ace html, hot dog, etc. before....but when you invest your time in Dreamweaver (and Fireworks), to learn to work with the software - you'll be very pleased with the results. DW is a top WYSIWYG HTML editor!
I used to use Dreamweaver (can't stand Front Page), but now I mostly use VI or UltraEdit, and Photoshop of course.
