What tool do you use to make webpages?

[7254278]

I just started getting into web editing. I mostly use HTML, Netscape 7 composer and I like to dabble in dreamweaver.
Just wanted to know what most people are using to create their pages.
I just made my first webapage the other day www.aidsinfo.cjb.net it was for a school project. It is very simple and not very pleasent to the eye but I think its alright for a first atempt.

It's been a while since I did anything, but when I do, I like Dreamweaver.

 

[Lacero]

Photoshop and BBedit. I like to get my hands dirty and do manual coding. Muahahaha.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

TextWrangler and a printout of the XHTML 1.1 (along with the two standards it's based on: XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4.01, of course) and CSS2 standards...

One word: BBEdit.

 

[plinden]

vi

(sorry for the one word response)

 

[ChicoWeb]

Dreamweaver for me.

 

[jalagl]

Dreamweaver here. I use the windows version at work, though - don't have it on my mac at home.

 

[tech4all]

Combination of Photoshop, ImageReady, Dreamweaver, and Flash.

Combination of Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I occasionally use Notepad (only have a Windows machine at the moment...) for minor edits.

 

[panphage]

fireworks, textmate, and just about every browser known to man. Sometimes I've got to ssh into a dev server and use vim.

 

[2A Batterie]

I use my checkbook to pay someone else to do it for me.

 

[Phatpat]

I generally use a basic text editor to create, and dreamweaver to maintain.

Textwrangler is great, btw.

 

[Vader]

I am using DreamWeaver.

 

[jayeskreezy]

dreamweaver

 

[Knox]

Primarily BBEdit, although some things about TextMate are making me look at switching, plus the UNIX level tools (vim, cvs)

 

[tombo]

I use XXE. It's an xml editor, and it's virtually impossible to make invalid pages by the xhtml (and html 4) standard. As a result, you don't have to go to a validator page.
I like the way that it won't let you put in illegal stuff by the standard.
It avoids tag-soup, and is semi-wysiwyg. I then use a text editor to make my css.
-needs a lot of previewing in browsers, but it makes the code easy to read and maintainable.

 

[munkle]

Dreamweaver and BBEdit (for PHP stuff mainly, I'm not full on hardcore!), along with Fireworks and the occasional dabble in Photoshop. TextWrangler is a good freeware alternative to BBEdit.

Personally, like many others here, I use a mixture of BBedit and Dreamweaver, but if you want something free and more powerful than the basic Mozilla Composer, then check out NUV:

It's not quite an open-source alternative to Dreamweaver, but it's a helluva good try =]

 

[RacerX]

Well, in order of what I use most to least:

GoLive
Create
ImageReady
Curator
PhotoToWeb
Photoshop
LiveMotion​

And then clean up or quick changes in OmniWeb.

I use a combination of TextWrangler, Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I used to use Editpad (before I switched to Mac) exclusively, but as the sites I was designing got more complicated, it became easier to use a tool like Dreamweaver. A big part of the advantage to me is the integrated site management stuff present in Dreamweaver, although the WYSIWG editing is also nice in a lot of cases.

 

[mainstreetmark]

I use Dreamweaver, but it's crappy FTP ticks me off almost daily.

 

[gamestriker]

If you need a simple, free HTML editor, use Taco HTML Edit. Thats what I use. I don't like DW and some of those other pro ones because they seem overpriced and can become complicated to use them. I can do everything on my websites (stuff like XHTML, XML, PHP, CSS, ASP) purely by code on Taco.

Check out Transmit, it's superb.

my site was created with bbedit and help from php.net, w3school, and webmonkey. Graphics were created entirely from photoshop and uploading was done via transmit which has a nice sync feature with editors such as bbedit.
