notepad user. Don't like Frontpage...it screws up my indents like crazy. Don't like dreamweaver...it takes forever to load up and work with. SO what do I choose? Notepad. Quick to load. Some people say you can't preview using notepad. Sure not directly but what you do is you open your web browser(s). Open your php/html file, and there you go. After each change you make to the php/html file, save and refresh your browser and there's your preview. It's even more accurate then Frontpage that way because somehow Frontpage screws with the file somehow...i don't know how.

 

Oh...i guess i'm not using notepad exactly...i have this small application that makes indenting and highlighting easier. But essentially, it's still a notepad...cept with more colors ^_^ still easy to open and work with. That's what I like about a simpler html editor ^_^

Dreamweaver is alot better than frontpage and I don't agree that you can do more in frontpage than htlm, because its basically the same thing but it lets you position things easier. But you will make a more secure site if you use notpad unstead of frontpage (although it also works with Dreamweaver Very Very well. Then again i still have to find out how to post my page using the cpanel.

Any plain text editor will work for me, although sometimes I like one that changes the colors of tags and pieces of tags.I'll work with whatever's available, though. When I didn't have XP and notepad didn't display lines I used *shudder* Word.~Viz

notepad, cause really all the code i know is

<html> <body> <text> <img src>
seriously that is all the code in the world I know, that is why I have friends who are Design indept and get them to code for me :P (muahah slave labor rules)

I guess I can try out Dreamweaver, I heard some good things about it and micromedia stuff is pretty damn good.

Dreamweaver.. I started off with AceHTML (I think thats what its called), then it screwed up my computer every time it started so I got rid of it. After that I had a short stint with FrontPage but it generated so much excess code in the WYSIG-thingy that I had to spend half the time editing.. Notepad came after that and I kept using it until I got Dreamweaver.

After the Frontpage or Notepad try AceHTML or NamoWeb Editor or GridinSoft Notepad. Frontpage - code generated by Frontpage is defective :P . About Notepad - you must be a professional in HTML, PHP or whatever you use. I'm using this progs.

Frontpage is nasty. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, it puts too much crap into the code.I usually work manually with Notepad (unless it is a lot of coding then I use wordpad). But sometimes I use Namo Webeditor to put certain mundane and repetative things in. I use it mainly fo the styling of the site (tables) then go back to notepad.I have tried Dreamweaver, but the computer I do my work on isn't strong enough.

Notepad all the way! Like other people have said in this discussion, it really is the best for coding. Frontpage *shudder* and dreamweaver may seem easier for creating designs and layouts, but really, it's just putting a bunch of crap behind the designs.

 

If you want to get the most out of a website/layout, and you want to avoid as many errors, problems or complications in the future, you really need to write the code yourself instead of taking easy way outs, so that you understand what's going on in your coding, and if you want to come back and chage something, you can do it in two seconds instead of messing around for ages.

 

Also, don't you just get that really satisfying feeling knowing you did something all on your own when you code yourself using notepad?

 

I personally don't use any coding program, they annoy me to much. I've always used notepad, so I find it easier. And frontpage is despicable, it's an insult to any good webdesigner. You CANNOT in any way create a great layout using frontpage. impossible.

 

Also, I have it on good authority (my professors at uni) that any webdesign firm prefers those who can code by hand rather than those who only use programs; they know what they're doing.

 

Oops, I've ranted a little, havn't I? :P

The DREAMWEAVER! The Macromedia MX is the best suite ever created. All the program are fully integrated and make too easy the website construction that we cant live without then after the experience.
