I'm gettin started with this thing, web site designin. Heheh i do it on my spare time and all so i'm not that good but i'm really interested. So I've tried Frontpage and Dreamweaver so far and i prefer Dreamweaver cause it's appearence is way cooler and all, tell me which one you prefer and why and if you know of any other program like these ones, thanks!

From those two I prefer Dreamweaver. I don't use WYSIWYGs too much, mostly because I preferer writing code, it's much more fun.

yeah i agree with you but sometimes it's such a headache to remember all the codes Razz

*regains vision after reading HxC's second post*
WYSIWYG editors are scary to me because there's no telling what they'll do! Who knows what code they'll use to achieve the desired affects.. and I don't like that uncertainty. Accordingly, I voted "none" because coding by hand is the best way. You know every line you write and even if it's slower or harder at first, it pays off in the long run because you'll be able to troubleshoot your pages if things go wrong and at least for me, I get a certain pride knowing a page is completely my own creation, my sweat, tears, and blood all combined to create something.

I use text editors. WYSIWYG editors maybe easy to use but there are times that you don't get what you've actually seen. Wink

I don't use Dreamweaver for its WYSIWYG, I use it because of the very practical and helpful code completion.

Notepad ofcourse! I started with Dreamweaver a little but theres really no need for it. Also, go download Notepad++ for windows, really helps for developing Smile

I only ever use DreamWeaver for its nice color coding and tag completion. The WYSIWYG editor is only for when im extremely lazy and just want to do some minor edits.

I've used forntpage, draemweaver, and some web-site builders and I have to admit, they are easy to use but you can get better results by using notepad :) . lately i've become fund of CMS's which I find a really great thing. Too bad there aren't enough templates for them...

You guys know any text editor that has an HTML or xHTML tag completion feature? Wink
