I am looking for a recommendation on a really good, user friendly website management software.
I honestly don't do website development all that frequently. But I have a client that needs a website update done by the end of this week. Normally up to this point, I've been using Adobe Dreamweaver to manage website content. I like how Dreamweaver allows you to define a profile for a website and in turn you can navigate through the content really easily for quick editing of pages and content. I personally just write the code in the code view when editing a page and I don't like trying to figure out how to modify the design in the design view. Overall to clarify, the only thing I like about Dreamweaver and that I even use is being able to create a website profile, easily navigate through the directory structure of the website, easy switching between local and remote content, and easy uploading of local content to the remote server so as I'm editing I can view the website in real-time to view my results.
I will also confess, however, that I'm apparently not very up-to-date on how websites are developed now. I have recently learned that most websites today are being implemented through web apps like Joomla, Droople, and Wordpress. I'm old-school in that I know HTML, CSS, and PHP code. Thus my impression is that Dreamweaver doesn't seem to be widely used anyways and possibly is not even considered the "industry standard" for website deployment.
My reasoning for asking for an alternative recommendation that is not Dreamweaver is because I'm giving serious consideration into buying the new Adobe CS6 Design Standard (I'm a student). I currently have Adobe CS5 Design Premium. The "premium" is the same as standard but includes website development software like Dreamweaver and Flash. I bought the CS5 Premium when it premiered because I thought I would use the web software often enough to justify the cost of the premium package. I am know seeing that perhaps Dreamweaver and Flash are on the verge of becoming extinct. Therefore the design standard package is sufficient for me because I really do love Photoshop and Illustrator and use them all the time.
