What web design software do you use?
Monday, February 7, 2005 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
When I signed up for the hosting for my site, they gave me a free copy of Netobjects Fusion 7.
I was just wondering what software everybody uses for their sites.

I do my design work in Photoshop and code it by hand in Homesite+. It's basically a text editor with helpful color coding.

I started with Paintshop Pro, but have recently downloaded the trial version of Corel Draw because of Mormegil's tutorials. I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase it. It just seems to have more options with making vector objects than PSP does.
I'm also looking at Vue 4.

I see a lot of Dreamweaver in this post. I tried the demo, very nice, but $399.

Dreamweaver is the best. I have tons of extensions for it too. If you can't afford that and don't need any gui and just want to handcode it try the stuff provided by mp software. I use their php designer. BTW Let me guess, you signed up with 1and1?

Photoshop, Illustrator and GoLive CS. Some manual editing involved in the code, but that's also done in GoLive.

I use EditPlus for the HTML/CSS/Javascript (a fancy text editor with syntax highlighting, code shortcuts and browser integration ...ok, it's about the best thing I've found for professional programming, analysing and general file editing... I love it.), and of course Photoshop, Xara X and a hundred other little apps for the graphics.

Well, unfortunatly I took my site of the internet. But for my graphics I'm using Photoshop and I'm learning Coreldraw thanks to the lessons of mormegil (everybody should check them out).
For my webbuilding for the moment I'm using Frontpage. BUT i don't recommend it because when you're working with tables, Frontpage makes it look good for Internet Explorer and not for browsers like Netscape, Firefox, Opera,... Because of this I started to learn Dreamweaver...
And off course I always make some drawings for designing my lay-out. A sheet of paper after all is very good looking,unless you start to scrawl.
