I started with http://www.intermania.com/htmlpad I still think that it rocks.. made learning the ropes very easy and gave me more satisfaction when finnishing a site than all of the fancy wysiwyg editors available. Unfortunately when you have to produce a modern site quickly and effecively editors such as Dreamweaver have no equal. :(

homesite does the job for me

very nice program :)

dont have a link though but i know you can get a 30 day trial version...have a look for it, see what you think

[cyKey]

Hehe, notepad. Packed with features such as save, open, word wrap. Dreamweaver is the best, bar non.

When I first started out doing websites I used Frontpage 98 (don't laugh too much!)... anyway, one day I realised that all those multi coloured backgrounds and massive HTML files probably made people not want to visit the site... so I got Dreamweaver... its not perfect, but its damn close... one big negative fact about it is the cost. Also, I have found myself learning more and more HTML while I use Dreamweaver - with Frontpage, I didn't really get the chance too.

Homesite does the job. But i planned to buy dreamweaver soon..........:E

oh, the URL: http://www.allaire.com/homesite ;)

Dreamweaver? pah, more like wet dreamweaver. Thats almost as bad as frontpage. Notepad rules.

That will be why all the best sites on the net are produced and maintained in notepad... not

[Waldo]

To be honest, I have been doing the following recently... I am currently working on a new website. For ease of use (and plus the fact that I can work on the site on my handheld) I have been doing some work in Notepad... however, this was just to get a rough version of the site done... once I'm happy with that, I'll get to work with Dreamweaver :)

Im a web developer and we all use Cold Fusion Studio (like Homesite).

Homesite, JRun Studio are cool too all Allaire's HTML editors are cool, if you know JAVA ( ;) I DO.. sorry) then you use JRun Studio, if you know Cold Fusion ( ;).... I DO.. oops sorry again) then you use Cold Fusion Studio. Homesite is for HTML only really (YAWN!!)

im a developer and everyone in my company uses interdev (apart from the designers of course)

If your a designer and you dont mind **** code you will like dreamweaver.

If your just doin Javascript / html and maybee some basic asp then homesite would be up ur street.

If you are planning to completly hand code and want lots of asp then interdev is definetly the way to go. Plus with .net which is definetly going to be taking over the web within 5 years microsoft will be the best option.

I use Dreamweaver, and I allways will :E

[ebandit]

allaire and macromedia are merging just thought i'd at that :cheese:

[Karve]

I use beangleamer... I get a nice polished finnish to all varieties of kidney beans.. its also very versitile and can be used for polishing chick peas and even some types of fruit. :)

[mr_grumpy_man]

Totting up the votes (adding one for each positive comment - some people recommend more than one package) and including my own for DW...

Dreamweaver 7
Notepad 2
Allaire 1
Homesite 2
Amaya 1
Beangleamer 1
Intradev 1

I think we have a winner...

[Brocken]

Dreamweaver

[Greap]

yes but have you looked at the code dreamweaver generates. Try being a developer who has to finish a site half done in dreamweaver that should have een hand coded in the first place. A different include for every pages LHM instead of one include and some ASP. Javascript no one can begin to understand. Need i say more.

[mr_grumpy_man]

Tis a bit ham-fisted and bloated... but as an all-round package, considering how much it helps, the way it can be expanded and the like it cannot be denied that it r0><0r5 :E

[Karve]

You cant update a big site.. ALA Gameplay with hand code.... it just aint gunna happen. Dreamweaver all the way. For specialist backend tasks I would say that Interdev is the best although the tasty and very expensive Visual Net Studio is is whipping it ass. But thats a good 5k to buy.

[Greap]

we just use content management on our big sites and when we need to do specialised stuff we use interdev.

[Brocken]

how much does interdev cost? I might get it...

[Flax]

K, u win, dreamwever is best, where can i get it and how much does it cost? Just had REALLY bad expirience with wysiwyg editors and stuff like that (i still say frontpage sux, look at the code EEEK BLOATWARE)

Why? :)

I've used quite a lot of the website programmy things including Dreamweaver, but I always come back to a HTML editor. One of the arguments for them is that they speed up the process, but I don't think I could create a site any quicker with a program like Dreamweaver than I could with my HTML editor of choice.
