I used frontpage and it was ok, i now use 1 and 1 internets package they supply.

Not bad at all, also i am an idiot and even i can use it.

Can i ask for an old skool mix when you are done?

notepad

I have been using Visual Stuido Web express which is bascially notepad with fancy bits.

Microsoft Expression seems ok but most people use dreamweaver

dont bother with frontpage, get a copy of dreamweaver, good for starting out on

Dreamweaver, or learn to hand code and use EditPlus...

learn to code HTML and CSS, its not that difficult really, you dont need tools any WYSIWYG tools are usually crap!

Indeed.

Except "usually" should be "always"

Craig what do you preview your sites in when checking layouts etc..?

I know your work is spot on but surely your not that aaamaaaaazing that you dont need to preview? lol

I still use dreamweaver, although i am pretty confident i could code a site from scratch now!

IE, Mozilla, Opera and Safari.

Preview them in a browser? Heh.

yeh I work off the server. save the file after every slight change, then it uploads to the server and i test in the browsers like!

 

[Mike_182]

I use either Expressions or Dreamweaver - used to hardcode it but tbh more concerned with learning C# instead of spending time doing things the long way in HTML...

what's css?

 

[furry_cup]

its a band isnt it?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

what's css?

Cascading style sheet, tells the page/site what styles it should be using. It's used so you can make a change to the one file and it changes on all the pages.

ben i think he was joking.

Dreamweaver is evil and should be avoided at all costs.

 

[furry_cup]

am i missing something? (seriously) what is wrong with dreamweaver?

 

[Adams_16v]

nothing as long as you dont use the design view and try designing sites with the WYSIWYG.

I do use it.....mainly as i find it a good way to edit and manage my html, php, css, js, etc, etc files.

its just when you try designing sites in it by drawing them out using the design tools it all goes wrong.

dreamweaver is excellent if you know how to handcode html and css then use dreamweaver for the little tweaks, but if you cant write html then you need to learn it

^^ good man. I agree!

 

[furry_cup]

im only really in design view mode of dreamweaver just to see the alignment of div's and just what the general layout looks like.

When i have a large page on screen with lots of code i use design mode to select the div i want to edit etc..

I have preview (F12) programmed onto a button my mouse so its nice and quick to preview the sites in FF.

CLIOWILLIAMS:- good link.

I've just started learning C# and Visual Studio for my uni course. Already liking it better than dreamweaver.
