What Is The Best Web Design Software?

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

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.

I'm downloading dreamweaver now thanks for the tips.

i would give xemacs a try it is a pain to use at first but you get used to it.

: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
