I've just been using frontpage 2000 and want to get my hands on something better.
Any suggestions?

Dreamweaver.
depends....do you write html code or do it as a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor?
if its html then try:
AceHTML
EditPlus
if its WYSIWYG:
FrontPage
Dreamweaver
if you want both:
FrontPage
Dreamweaver
i use acehtml, editplus, and frontpage...no need for dreamweaver.... they all work like a charm :)
Code:
HomeSite
GnuEMACS - this is the ownage
WYSIWYG:
FrontPage - yuck
Both:
Dreamweaver MX 2004

Dreamweaver MX is the way to go. I use Frontpage to add quick things. But it adds a lot junk code.
Notepad is alright for code. But GnuEMACS is a charm.

:P Damn, must I always be the oddball?? I've been using CoffeeCUp 9 for a while. Easy to use for the newbies like prewritten Java, CGI scripts and Flash (Counters, cookies and banners to name a few). It even has FTP support built in. I still use SmartFTP, but it's nice to have a backup.
It has a huge supply of plugins as well. They're not free though. :huh:
It's on Kazaa K++ with plenty of sources. Dreamweaver is kickass, though it's learning curve is a bit steap if you're new to web design. :01:

Throw Frontpage in the bin. Here's how the professionals do it..
CODE
Dreamweaver
Notepad
NAVIGATION
Flash
Notepad (for java)
IMAGES - PHOTOGRAPHIC
Photoshop
IMAGES - VECTOR
Fireworks
Freehand
Illustrator
IMAGE LAYOUT
Fireworks
IMAGE OPTIMISATION
Photoshop
Image Ready
That's just a basic HTML site, if you want SQL ASP etc we're talking a whole other language.

I am getting along alright with dreamweaver so far, thanks to those who reccomended it. I am a little hung up putting audio on the site though. do i need to download some plugins? I want viewers to be able to hear audio and watch video clips with their choice of format? any help on that would be appreciated. thanks
