Whats Your Fav Web Page Editor??

12 replies
I'm trying to figure out what most people use to create their web pages.

I use a combination of Front Page & Trellian Webpage.

I don't use Trellian so much anymore cause it makes up it does little things on its own, like it decides how long the page will be and makes it a fixed length - usually twice the length it needs to be - so it's a bit of a pain in the bum.

So I mostly use Front Page, it's not necessarily the best, but it's the one I've got.

What do you use? & Why do you like it?

    I use my fingers!

    No joke, I looked at HTML editors and web page design programs when I first started in the web design business (14 years ago, I'm ancient!), and I didn't find a single one that produced decent HTML. I decided to invest the time learning HTML and write my pages in a simple text editor.

    This is not as hard as it sounds, and gives you far more control over the final design. You produce lean, good quality HTML, instead of the bloated tag soup that most of these programs produce.

    There are many resources on the web and in your local bookshop for learning HTML and CSS. These are well worth the little time required.

      I have tried almost all the webpage editors. By far my most favorite and the one I use on everything is Dreamweaver.

      When you use Dreamweaver and publisher website that is exactly what you'll see on the Internet.

      When you use FrontPage you have to have all the FrontPage extensions and a lot of times it doesn't look the same on the Internet as it does on your computer screen.

      My personal opinion is Dreamweaver is hands-down the best

    Dreamweaver.

    Mainly for the ease of use with the code/split view.

    I use coffee cup (mostly because this is what I was first introduced to and so I've never looked at anything else).

    I use xsite pro, mainly because the learning curve is a LOT shorter. I'm not great with HTML, but when I have used it, I always liked coffee cup.

    I usually outsource most of the large projects that I have. But for small things that I do myself, I use Kompozer.

    Its lightweight and easy to use. Its also free, if you're on a budget.

    Just in case you go with the Notepad and fingers suggestions,
    Elizabeth Castro's book, "html, xhtml and css" is one that I really
    like. It is well organized, has code and shots of what the code
    looks like and starts off simple, not assuming you know anything.

    For links as an example it will give you everything you need to
    know to put one together, then a few page numbers for more
    advanced things you can do with them, like css styling.

    It doesn't cost a lot and is on Amazon.

    Of course the main thing is to have fun whichever way you go.

      Dreamweaver.

      However I just reinstalled FrontPage because it's so much faster to use as a WYSWYG editor.... much quicker and easier than Dreamweaver in WYSYWG mode.

      I always clean the code manually anyway before publishing as I use CSS to control many items that many others don't... such as tables.

      CSS makes tables a very powerful and time-saving tool.
