So what web design software do you use

tanay46 · 11-07-2008, 04:30 PM

Just wondering what software everyone uses these days?
Does anyone still handcode in notepad or does everyone use WYSIWYG editors ?? Im using the dreamweaver trial now but i dont plan to purchase it since ive not quite learnt it fully.But there is another free alternative NVU which is what i plan to use.
So what do you use??

Well I am also using Dreamweaver to design my website, but the only difference is that I have the full version of the software-YEAH i have purchased it. Dreamweaver is is not difficult to learn and use, once you master it, you would be able to make very good designs for your websites.

I will try to learn it. if i can i might purchase it. do your know if the older versions are still available for purchase casue im guessing they'll be cheaper to purchase then cs3 and cs4 ..?? Also do you know any good resources to learn dreamweavber from ? some online sites with tutorials or something??

hi i don't know whether if you can actually purchase older versions of dreamweaver but i have found a website which explains to you how to use dreamweaver step by step. Here is the link:

Nvu ( usually pronounced N-view, for a "new view") can help you to create web pages and manage a website with no technical knowledge of HTML. Well I have also heard that it is available for linux, windows and macintosh.

I also found a link to download NVU:

Hope i helped you!

Believe it or not I still use the archaic FrontPage when I am feeling too lazy to do it in notepad LOL

I like using wordpad, you really don't need an editor to design a website that looks professional. Some of the best coders use notepad and their knowledge to code.

Hello all,

i completely agree with the post made by flaco, to design a web site you do not need funcky tools or software just some basic skills & hard work & you are good to go, wel you wont design the best web site on the net but well anything you will come up with will be nice.

Cheers!!!

I use wordpress now more than ever, you can do a lot with themes like wp-spire to quickly throw together a squeeze page or sales letter.
