Good Web Design Program

man i just couldn't disagree more. there are a ton of templates and most of them are highly customizable. you can use as much or as little html and css coding as you wish. Rapidweaver is much more powerful than iweb and sandvox which really aren't even in the same catagory.

there are a ton of plugins for RW that you can add which makes it even easier and more powerful but to each his own. you might try freeway pro, it might be what you seek...

 

You might be better served by learning HTML/CSS, you can even start by editing the code of the templates generated by WYSIWYG editors. Sure there's a steep learning curve, but I think it'll be worth it.

 

So howcome editing CSS to move a picture is a big deal? Sorry, but if you want to do proper web design, WYSIWYG is not the way forward. That's why you can't find anything.

 

You might want to download the free .pdf copy of "The Art and Science of CSS" which is available for a few more days courtesy of SitePoint and offers 234 pages of good information that would probably prove helpful.

 

if you got the cash i suggest getting Dreamweaver, been using it all my life and i love it. never had any problems. it can do CSS as well but i dont do that stuff so i cant tell you how it works

 

Dreamweaver if you want Wizzywig. Coda if you want to be a real web developer.

Rapidweaver themes can be customised btw (although very difficult to do so by someone who has no idea about CSS)

 

Dreamweaver.

With CS4, any CSS files are linked to the page you are editing, so you can just easily switch to edit the CSS content without having to physically find and load the file.

Dreamweaver's split content option is brilliant too - I code as much as I design (eg JavaScript and PHP) but when it is simple HTML editing, being able to see exactly what you just changed is great.

It is a pro app, and worth it.

 

Dude,

I understand your problem & It seems to me that you’ve tried lots of way
One of the best solution was that you hire any professional Website design & Development Company but as u mentioned you’ve no money

So I think you will be success with Joomla Based Website coz it’s a open source system & it provides easy admin panel & from where we can do what we need for site. Any one can design and develop independent modules to add new features. For more check out Joomla CMS NJ

 

I've hand coded sites, used Dreamweaver for years, then switched to Textmate and CSSEdit when I switched to a Mac. I've created some pretty big sites with Joomla and Drupal. Joomla is probably overkill for a band website. I would recommend Wordpress. It's labled a blogging platform but over the past few years it has evolved into a full-fledged CMS. And Wordpress is free. There are thousands of beautiful templates available for free as well. The support community is huge. Every site I have created over the past year and a half has been a Wordpress site. I keep considering Jooma and Drupal, but fall back to Wordpress because it just works so damn well.

Check it out - wordpress.org

Here are some beautiful free templates - revolutiontwo.com

I hardly use anything else anymore and I have been creating websites since the late 90s.

 

I have used Freeway Pro for a few years now. Version 3 sucks, but, I actually like 4 and 5.

My process has been - design in Freeway, export to local HDD and then fix anomolies (coz I can't test it for IE) in Dreamweaver.

It is, literally, a code free tool for building web sites. I am no CSS/HTML guru. I do not have the time (nor charge that much) to design it all in Photoshop, slice it, hand code it in Dreamweaver, and right lots of Flash.

Freeway does 85% of the work for me. For sanity, and the fact that 90% of surgers use Windows, I use Dreamweaver/HTML to sanity check it all. as there will be compatibility issues.

I learnt the hard way - tested my design in Safari, uploaded it. Asked client for money. He tested in Internet Explorer - slide shows did not work.
