[usawhney]

thanx,
:cool:

[johnboles]

i would recommend dreamweaver... its only a 30day trial but it does seem longer

[arenlor]

Yeah it's the best, it is crackable, not that I'd suggest trying that though, personally though I think the best thing to do would be to learn how to build a site and write it in notepad2 or the equivalent.

[civworldleague]

I prefer notepad myself. Hands on lets you know what exactly is going on in your site in case you have any problems or errors :)

[Tyler]

Moved to HTML.

[disneynavigator]

I've been using Microsoft Expressions Web Design, and it works really well.

[keith]

Personally, I would recommend Dreamweaver.

[beboskins]

Notepad.If you're going to use dreamweaver stick to code view

If you use the design view it creates poor code.

[habboleaders]

Do you know any FREE Website Template builders?

[Tyler]

I would search google for free templates then just edit them in either Dreamweaver or notepad or something like that.

[civworldleague]

I know a good linux editor thats free... I will look for a free editor for you and edit this post.

Download.com's free:

Nvu 1 - User Rating: 4.5
More Motion Web Express 3.3 - User: 3 Editor: 5
PageBreeze HTML Editor - User: 3.5 Editor: 3


Also, try this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=WYSIWYG+HTML+editor&btnG=Google+Search
It is a search for: WYSIWYG Html Editor
Tip: WYSIWYG means "What you see is what you get". While this can be good for beginners, it is not recommended as WYSIWYG editors tend to create sloppy code(That is why notepad is best if you know what you are doing, or the code view of HTML editors)

[beboskins]

If you just want a site that looks good just use a WYSIWYG editor.

If you are serious about making a good website you should hand code your website!

[br0ck]

A good site builder for beginers would be webpage maker you can get it here:

i used the designs part in dreamweaver and theres nothing wrong with it!

[beboskins]

Yes, there is. You used a template so all the coding was done for you but if you build a site from scratch in design view the coding will be poor.

NotePad sucks. WordPad is best.

Notepad++

Quote from their site:


Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment.

This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.

This project is mature. However, as you can see it's a one-man-project, there are still some bugs and missing features. If you have any question or suggestion about this project, please post them on the forums. As well, if you have any feature requests, you can always make the demand, but there's no guarantee that I'll implement it.

You're encouraged to translate Notepad++ (if it is not present in the Download Section) and/or to translate the Notepad++ official site into your native language.

I hope you enjoy Notepad++ as much as I enjoy coding it.


Here are the features of Notepad++ :
Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding

Supported languages :
C C++ Java C# XML HTML
PHP CSS makefile ASCII art (.nfo) doxygen ini file
batch file Javascript ASP VB/VBS SQL Objective-C
RC resource file Pascal Perl Python Lua TeX
TCL Assembler Ruby Lisp Scheme Properties
Diff Smalltalk Postscript VHDL Ada Caml
AutoIt KiXtart Matlab Verilog Haskell InnoSetup
CMake
WYSIWYG

If you have a colour printer, print your source code (or whatever you want) in colour.
User Defined Syntax Highlighting

It allows user to define his own language : not only the syntax highlighting keywords, but also the syntax folding keywords, comment keywords and the operators. ( screenshot1, screenshot2, screenshot3, screenshot4 ).
Auto-completion

For most supported languages, user can make his/her own API list (or download the api files from dowload section). Once the api file is ready, type Ctrl+Space to launch this action (see screenshot). For more information about Auto-completion, please see Auto-completion HOWTO.
Multi-Document

You can edit several documents at the same time.
Multi-View

You have two views at same time. That means you can visualize (edit) 2 different documents at the same time (screenshot). You can visualize (edit) in the 2 views one document at 2 different positions as well. The modification of document in one view will carry out in another view (i.e. you modify the SAME document when you are in clone mode, see screenshot).
Regular Expression Search/Replace supported

You can search and replace one string in the document by using the regular expression.
Full Drag ‘N' Drop supported

You can open a document by drag & drop. You can also move your document from a position (or even a view) to another by drag & drop.
Dynamic position of Views

The user can set the position of the views dynamically (only in 2 views mode : the splitter can be set in horizontal or in vertical), see screenshot.
File Status Auto-detection

If you modify or delete a file which opened in Notepad++, you will be notified to update your document (reload the file or remove the file).
Zoom in and zoom out

That's another fantastic function of Scintilla component. Just see screenshot.
Multi-Language environment supported

The Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew Windows environments are supported. See Notepad++ under the Chinese Windows , under the Arabic Windows and under the Hebrew Windows in action screenshot.
Bookmark

User can just click on the bookmark margin (located right side of line number margin) or type Ctrl+F2 to toggle a book mark. To reach the bookmark, type just F2 (Next bookmark) or Shift+F2 (Previous bookmark). To clear all bookmarks, click the Menu Search->Clear All bookmarks. See screenshot.
Brace and Indent guideline Highlighting

When the caret stay beside of one of those symbol { } [ ] ( ) , the symbol beside of caret and its symmetric opposite symbol will be highlighted, as well as the indent guideline (if any) in order to locate the block more easily. See screenshot1, screenshot2 .
Macro recording and playback

BlueVoda's (http://www.bluevoda.com/) pretty good.

[backdoor]

Woops, already posted it....

[jeffro11]

I'd recommened Notepad++ and dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver can create garbage code so its good to know whats going on and manually fix/edit it later.

www.vertexorigin.net (http://www.vertexorigin.net)
http://jeffro11.ulmb.com
002 (http://onesmaps.fearmaps.com/web_templates/002/site.html)


The above were done in Dreamweaver but then tidied up in Notepad++. The PHP was all done in Notepad++ since i find Dreamweaver somewhat counter intuitive...yet it boasts these capabilities. Sure theres a few errors in the vertexorigin page, but you know what? it works (thats what i get for doing my own site and bbcode..*grumble*) no worse than a php-nuke or any other similar php-script :P

My 2 cents on the matter.

[leathal]

Microsoft's Visual Web Devoloper 2005 Express Edition is free and it's great that's what i recommend :)

[warezoracle]

Dreamweaver, BlueVoda, and Notepad IMO. Good luck!

[arudis]

I would Say NVU and bluevoda

[heroaiyami]

notepad. Notepad++. My new fav (I use php a lot though): PHPEdit (paid).

If you wanna learn HTML, try http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/

Awesome tutorial with the hand-on features (no juggling multiple apps, it's all web-browser based), and it teaches the basics of HTML. You can walk away after knowing how to make a HTML website that is at least well-formed if not beautiful as well (the beauty part is up to the designer, not the application :P)

[slyvion]

Note pad would be the best. Or even better create a new html page from your ulmb account in your filemanager. That would be the best ever! because they even have options on creating your style.
