Why are you all suggesting stuff like frontpage>:-< and coffee cup%-(, for god's sake, Why dont you just get a big bicket of bad habbits and force-feed him with 'em.LOL
Come on, Give the guy a break. If he wants a good HTML editor, he NEEDS Dreamweaver:). I've been building websites for about 3 years now and have just started to build asp using Ultradev.

The power and speed of Dreamweaver are second to none. The HTML Code is Clean as a whistle and everything ALWAYS works first time. If you know how to use Microsoft Word, you can make a banging website in hours, and when you get good on D/W, get your self a copy of Photoshop 6/ImageReady 3, Excelent tools, and chosen by the Pro's. K.

Did I miss something. I believe the poor just wants to do his website, with as LESS coding as possible.
 
To do as little coding as possible, I would use Dreamweaver or Frontpage in that order. I do however prefer ColdFusion as my web design tool.

It is all up to the designer... I must admit that I do not even begin to comprehend why anyone would want to use notepad for HTML when their are High-End programs available such as Dreamweaver. Even FrontPage,which is definitely not high-end, still has some very nice features. This is such a diverse world we live in and were it not for very diverse web designers it would be quite the boring world I must say! Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
 
My two cents....
FrontPage is EVIL.

Notepad is ok.... Textpad is excellent. (
HTML is not hard, and almost all programs other than simple editors (anything more complicated than notepad or textpad) write awful code.

One caveat: for complex tables, you might want to use MS Excel's save as HTML. Never use Words HTML editor: in fact, never open an HTML doc in Word or it will ruin it. But Excel does a tidy job with Tables.
 
If someone does happen to open an HTML document in word... Dreamweaver 4 has a function that will clean up all the mumbo jumbo that gets added to it in the process. Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
 
DreamWeaver or die! All MS stuff is evil if you ask me, except notepad! ;] Macromedia will let you have a 30 day, all features included trial for free. Surf to < and download the package. But beware, once you have gotten used to DreamWeaver you will HAVE to purchase it because you will be spoiled! As far as I know it is the only way to fix HTML docs that have been corrupted with MS word.
 
Hi all

I use FTPEdit, which is just basically a Notepad editor with the added ability to edit directly through FTP. FANTASTIC!!

You will 'always' have MORE control if you learn HTML properly. Its the easiest language in the world to learn.

Good luck

On the scale of good HTML generators, Frontpage 2000 is at the low end. Don't mess about, Get Dreamweaver. It's 1000x more advanced, and is still piece of cake to use, even for your very first page.

I started building websites with Dreamweaver 2 about 2/3 years ago and have only ever perminantly changed to a newer version of Dreamwever. I've tried others, but there's no mistaking a QUALITY program, and I always come back to Dreamweaver within days, if it even takes that long.


I bet most of you people still hand coding, taking an hour to make a page that in Dreamweaver would take a few secconds, hate to use Flash as well don't you??????

It's about time you moved on lads. Say goodbye to hand code, and start making even better quality websites.

Hi, I am using Frontpage (98/2000/2002) and Word (97/2000/2002) to manage an online web with more than 3700 archived software articles(and still adding). I'm no Pro web-designer or editor, I don't want to be, I just need a quick solution. I first created / recycled a nice web-template until I only had to add my pages with some small Word macro's and that's it. Okay, don't look at the HTML coding, I don't think the whole internet should be like that. And still no real problems....

Overall conclusion to my opinion: -every- product or method is good, but think first what your total creation will be and then find the right product to use. I don't take the bus to visit the people nextdoor, and I won't come telling you by foot, we are -all- using the internet, that would make you think.

See for yourself :
Btw : my web has 150 frontpage articles about tips, tricks, information, installation etc. And that's only a small part of it.
 
Your site...shall I say....was closed immediately because of the popups that attacked me the moment I came in...so what is it you were trying to prove?

...??? Ya' Gotta Love It!

I'm -very- sorry about the pop-ups. I'm using a free web-service, they start the !@#$% pop-ups. Remember, I'm no pro, using a free service, and I can't suppress the pop-ups. This provider I choose (100Mb space) is always online and I never had any problems besides the pop-ups. I just needed storage for my web, nothing more.

But -if- you look further and take a look at the web itself, okay kill the screens popin' up, you'll find in several categories and products hundreds of articles (though very microsoft html) all managed with Frontpage.

What I'm trying to prove is that a non-pro can &quot;manage&quot; a web with many, many documents by using a simple program like WYSIWYG(?) FrontPage. I can't use notepad, no time :-( to look and convert to Dreamweaver (I should..) and programming stuff is not one of my favorites.
 
hahaha
this is getting really long, so i'll put my say in ^-^

I suggest dreamweaver, it is the best :) and it is really simple... i can't STAND sitting infront of a cpu and coding and coding.... (HTML is simple.. but it is boring, and there are better things to do...) so if you want it done quick... get dreamweaver like a lot of other peoples have said ^-^

frontpage is really bad, and will end up slowing your site down.... it produces really bad code...
anyway, there are HEAPS of dreamweaver tutorials on the 'net too... just look it up... and you can incorporate flash/fireworks too!

hope that helps :) Seeya!
