Best Web Design software?

I would recommend Dreamweaver

 

There is no substitute for a good text editor. If you depend on wysiwyg type editors, you can never rise above being a diletantish amateur. FrontPage is among the worst in class.

There are many good designers/developers using Dreamweaver for its editor (not in design mode, or whatever it's called) and its site management tools. If you're looking for a web site IDE (integrated development environment), DW is good. Just don't expect it to generate professional quality html markup or css. That is just beyond its, or any other tool's capabilities. That's your job.

Personally, I find Emacs to be the editor/IDE of choice. Since it runs on any platform, it doesn't matter at which computer I'm working.

What jestep said!

But kk5st made some very valid points, most important being dont rely on WYSIWYG editors.

 

dreamweaver and first page 2006 at evrsoft.com

 

dreamweaver to edit your xhtml, html, css and you can use photoshop for the graphics.

 

Photoshop and NetObjects (don't recommend, buggy as a mother ).

 

I'd say it really depends on what level of website design that you are looking into it.

Dreamweaver will have more advanced features compared to Frontpage.

 

i used to use frontpage, but the problem is that its not W3C VALID, so..i just use notepad to do it manually and then test it in Frontpage and check that evrythings fine

 

I use Dreamweaver and BBedit. DW is pathetically slow, but about the best thing out there.

 

Hello - looking for good and free and easy to use website design software ?

 

huh, what do you mean website design software?
something like dreamweaver?

 

notepad++ is very good !

 

Try Nvu, that's probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.

 

Hmm, TopStyle Lite is a free CSS editor.
I'd link you to the website, but I can't post links.. grr.
Just google it, and it should come up.

 

Try Microsoft Office Live - free domain regsitration and hosting and wysiwyg, easy-to-use design tools - takes no knowledge of HTML whatsoever and no uploading. Design is done on-line over the Internet.

Hope this helps.

Nvu is probably the best you'll find for free.

 

I have found HTML-Kit to be the best implementation. Here is what it offers:

* Pre-formed tags/constructs via drop-down menus
* Split-screen viewing of code generation
* WYSIWYG previewing in default Browser
* Multi-Browser WYSIWYG previewing
* Selection of Doctype headers
* Syntax checking and correction via "Tidy" plug-in
* Tidy generated code indent tag "beautifying"
* Multiple File types: .html, .css, .rdf, .php, .js etc.
* Online .html & .css document validation
* Spell checker and Thesaurus

It can also be used as a plain text editor by those Web authors who eschew pre-formed tags and constructs (that is the way I use it).

HTML-Kit is free and an easy download/installation. I cannot post a live link to it at present, but you can Google it for overview and download.
