Not entirely an auto based topic, but I know a number of you have commercial websites etc, so I was just wondering what software some of you have used to develop your pages. I’m currently using the Yahoo based site builder but I want something with less limitations. That software seems to streamline your site. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers ---

EditPlus for all web coding. Then again I know HTML pretty well that I don’t need a visual editor to write the code. Popular GUI based ones out there are Dreamweaver and FrontPage Good luck ---

Use Dreamweaver, but know the code to tweak shit. ---

I use dreamweaver but for actual code I usually resort to VIM or Notepadd++ (windows). ---

If you know basic HTML and wanna code purely that, TextPad is GREAT! It highlights and organizes your code to get everything smooth and efficient. ---

Thanks for the input guys, I’m going to start with Front Page and see how it goes. Cheers ---

the bad thing about frontpage is it needs server support… you’re better off learning some html or use something that like dreamweaver or homesite that will graphically represent html I tried most packages and I always ended up having to fix the code in an editor anyway, after working on a few customer sites I permanently switched to editpad ---

I first started using WYSIWYG editors only. Then slowly moved onto HomeSite which I used for a number of years. Eventually I got the hang of things and just did it all in EditPlus. If you want fast results, use some GUI based designer (frontpage, dreamweaver) but don’t expect the best results. ---

Download notepad++ you can use it with any programming language. I use it all the time when doing my C programs because it organizes your text and formats for you highlighting variables scripts and much more. How i learned to create my website is basically take the page source text file of a site layout u like and modify it from there… Using html allows you to throw in many scripts especially java which comes in handy. personally my way is a pain in the ass to learn but without a doubt it works well in the end
