    i'm thinking of changing to dreamweaver in the future
    and would like to know if it is similar to using frontpage
    and how did you adapt to dreamweaver? is it pretty similar?

    any dreamweaver USERS (who have used Frontpage), please comment...

          Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Notepad, Wordpad............... I initially found DW the hardest to learn but once I had my head around it it has been smooth sailing ever since then.

          A lot of my clientele use the likes of Xsitepro or Artisteer, majorily the later as it gives them a larger option for output of templates ie: WP,HTML,Joomla etc etc!

      In the early days, circa 2000, I used frontpage. Then I discovered Dreamweaver, and oh boy, the difference was night and day! Dreamweaver vastly expanded my design flexibility in way that I could have only dreamed of in frontpage. Frontpage does have one advantage that I found, over Dreamweaver. This has to do with form handling capability, meaning, after you have designed a form where you want to have the results returned to your email, Frontpage already has the handler built-in, whereas with Dreamweaver you have to find third-party software or hand code the handler. Other than that, it's Dreamweaver all the way.

      Of late though, DW's position is becoming more diminished for me, as I have since discovered and learnt Wordpress and Joomla. I find myself gravitating to these options more often and less so with DW. Just my 2 cents.

    I've been working with AJAX designs a lot recently and have been "playing" with Adobe Air, Adobe Spry and Aptana Studio.

    However when it comes down to it I guess I'm a "code from scratch" guy. I used to use Ultra Edit but in the last couple of years I've moved over to PS Pad. In fact I'm using it right now!

You can have every page of a site you are working on open in tabs, set it to save as UTF-8 and forget about that part. (There are 2 ways to do this and one of them seems to do it just for the current session or page.)

      That's good enough for me to put it on my to do list! (Unless it costs money.) With just a bit of a worry that if you're happy with it, it's probably way over my head. I've appreciated a few of your answers around here btw besides just the ones helping me out with my problems. Thanks.

      I've used Notepad++ in the past, but I'm currently checking out Bluefish. To be honest, I don't like WYSIWYG editors, so programs like these are ideal for me.

      By the way, despite how I dislike WYSIWYG, if you're the kind who can't really code well from scratch and have a cPanel hosting account, then I'd suggest looking into using RVSiteBuilder. Many cPanel hosts offer it already installed, and I've found that it's actually quite functional for website creation.

    I mainly use Dreamweaver and have for the last 8 years or so.

    I tried Frontpage somewhere between Dreamweaver 2 and 2004 MX although I can't for the live of me remember why! Once I'd got FP I dumped it pretty much straight away as I found it so clunky compared to Dreamweaver.

    Like any so-called "professional" software Dreamweaver has a learning curve but I found it was pretty straightforward if you've got a reasonable idea of what you're after. You can always switch between code view and WYSIWYG of course.

    Hope that helps you BJ.

    Hi BJ

    Dreamweaver took some getting used to after using Frontpage for years and I wish I had started out with it.

    It's not that hard to adapt to although it takes a little time as it does with anything new. You won't regret switching to it.

    I've tried many of the above mentioned including that clunker called front page. Having started in this business before the advent of wysiwyg editors I used notepad and notetab back in the day. I currently use Adobe GoLive (CS2) and absolutely believe it's the best in class. I still hand code many things using notetab+ and the excellent XML Free tool called XML Marker which has a very high user rating on CNET perfect for RSS and other data feed projects. I prefer using Dreamweaver (CS3) when I work with PHP or Flash projects. Thanks for the Poll it's interesting to see how different Warriors use different tools to get things done.

      1st Page 2000 ... have used it since I began doing HTML.

      It's clean, simple, not a resource hog .... the only down side is that you can no longer obtain a copy anywhere. So, if you didn't save the setup file, you are SOL. It's 1st Page 2006 brother is a waste of time ... major resource hog and hard to maneuver around - don't know why they tried to fix what wasn't broke.

      I tend to stay away from WYSIWYG editors because they typically add extra code (when you're changing, deleting, etc .. many of the tags remain, albeit empty) ... I hand code everything - which is a way for me to remember where tags are if you had "your hands on it" in the first place.

    Not really a wysiwyg guy. Those editors normally add so much css code to your file(s) that it's a royal pain in the a** to sort through when making changes. Not to mention the amount of unneccesary bandwidth all that extra code uses up.

    So depending on what I'm doing I use notepad++, First Page 2006 (can be wysiwyg but I've never used that function), and PHP Designer.

    When I'm feeling lazy and wanting to get a niche content site up and running pretty quickly I'll also use XsitePro2 or HyperVRE.

    And then there are times when I've got a "financially challenged client", then I'll go grab a template from one of a couple of places and quickly customize it for them.

    Probably way too much info, but you asked .

      I've found XSitePro to be the best ever, you can not only use it to design a website but you can take it out as HTML and edit it using other editors, hence an easy template design in comparison to photoshop slicing.

      The other I have been using is NVU.

    I learned HTML (and later CSS, Javascript and PHP) using Notepad, back in the day when there were no alternatives. I've since graduated to TextPad, a great all-around plain-text editor (similar to Notepad++, also mentioned in this thread).

    I've tried both FrontPage and Dreamweaver. I would never use them professionally unless forced to by a client's requirements. I consider them to be enemies of well crafted HTML.

    I know html code basics, but pretty much everything else is a mystery to me. I use Dreamweaver. I really like the feature that I can place my cursor where I want to change, or ad something, on the design page, then switch to code and my cursor is right where I need to make the changes. I think I'd be lost without DW.

    Notepad++ WYSIWYG editors are the reason I didn't get into building websites in the 90s I can't stand the weird code they generally create, and I'm now so ingrained into hand-coding that I don't think I'd ever go to a visual editor ever again -- especially since many of them are EXTREMELY overpriced.

      I used DreamWeaver for years and years.... I started with hand coding HTML.

      Admittedly, I'm not a *designer*, I just want to be able to make decent websites and not wait for a web designer to do something... and then have to pay for it!

      However, similar to what another warrior said a few posts ago, I've recently been won over to Wordpress, especially after the last DreamWeaver site I did was ~100 pages, setting up internal links is a pain, so I recently switched to Artisteer to create pages, but I'm also probably going to get Xsitepro down the line too.

      Sure beat the days of hand coding, eh?

    hey,

    thank you all warriors for taking the time to vote and post on your software preference...

    this was very interesting...i didn't know so many warriors prefer dreamweaver and xsitepro as well as notepad....those seem to be big...

    i am interested in looking into dreamweaver in the near future...
    my question is all my sites have been done with frontpage (except blogs)...

    Quick Questions:
    1) Do i have to get rid of the frontpage extensions?
    2) Can I just copy and paste all the Frontpage htm files and will be compatible with Dreamweaver?

    Thanks

      2) Can I just copy and paste all the Frontpage htm files and will be compatible with Dreamweaver?
      You'll need to copy the published site. The Frontpage templates won't work in Dreamweaver.
      Do what I do, use both. New sites in Dreamweaver and leave the Frontpage sites in Frontpage until you decide to completely redesign them.

      While I use Dreamweaver and taught its use at a local community college for 8 years, I am also aware that it is properly speaking a development environment (Macromedia's historical strong point) with features many will never use and confusing overkill for many users.

      Adobe never got it right in making website software (starting with Page Mill) and eventually gave up and just bought Macromedia. Since then we have seen runaway feature bloat similar to what Adobe has done to Photoshop (another one of their purchases.)

    Dreamweaver ... Front Page 2003 for those quirks in Dreamweaver
    since Adobe took it over. I'm experimenting with XSite Pro ... Good
    concept software, buggy in places, because it aims at making websites
    simple, repeatable and functional ... it takes a different thinking process
    to design web sites in.

    dreamweaver rocks, makes life easier especially when adding flash videos to the site. also helps some code issues get resolved and the best part about it is that you have everything in one place and don't have to use 2-3 programs to make the site.

      I use Dreamweaver now and wish I'd started using it at the beginning. I used to use CoffeeCup and Kompzer but didn't know how limiting they were until I started to use DW. I also use Notetab Pro for quick jobs.

        Warfore,
        I started doing a site with Coffeecup Visual Designer, but I think I'm going to do a Membership site instead. Could you tell me about the limitations you ran into with CC. I know there are all kinds of modules you can get to go with it such as , Video Player, Shopping Cart etc..Did you use any of that stuff? What are the limitations you discovered with CC. Does it work well with HostGator?
        Thanks,Pubster

    I think we all use Xsitepro, but some of us would deny it.

      Xsite Pro without a doubt! Before using this software I had never made a website a day in my life so I was a complete newbie at making websites when I started. So I did a little research and decided to go with XSP and have never looked backed.

      The software for me was very easy to grasp and start making some sites with pretty quick and I have not even used it to its full potential. I am starting to mess around with Wordpress now but I would recommend Xsite Pro 2 to anyone who is tech challenged like I was oops I mean like I am
