What is your favorite web site creator?

Edit Pad Pro -- it's like notepad on steroids. Because all WYSIWYG editors for HTML suck.

Ooops forgot… Very flexible and has everything I need, static, motion or data driven. Although I might have to switch to AS 3.0 soon and am not looking forward to it.

I like to code my php docs in dreamweaver just cause it's got all the handy time savers. Most of the time I just hang out in code view. I like the css, and the behaviors, and being able to preview quickly.

One of the things I like about DW for doing cross checks on different browsers. You know, what works in Firefox, doesn’t in IE he he.

for sure. But at least IE and firefox are closer than nutscrape. I hated that browser! I'd code up some crazy shit, look great in IE, then check it in netscape and it'd look like a plate of spagetti.

I've had no problems with compatibility in my code between IE, Firefox, and Netscape when I use the IE body "fix" in my CSS. However, I use a text editor for all my work; I don't do much web design, not my forte.

yeah it's better now days, but still some of the advanced dhtml things do not work the same. Like enhanced preview windows for navs, always give me _x and _y problems from IE to Firefox, it's never perfect for me. I'm pretty anal down to the pixel though, most people would never notice it. :)

It depends on what i'm doing, I like fixed size also since I hate my designs breaking but lately I have been using ems and it's been a bit more flexible but still run into the classic size problems.

It's a hard combo being dev/designer not many can do both. I can do the basic webdev stuff, but shine more in flash, illustrator or photoshop. To many diffrent syntax to learn, php, asp, dhtml, javascript, CSS, Actionscript 2.0, 3.0, WPF, Xaml, the list goes on and on as you know. AS, php and Java is pretty close but still hard for my brain to hold all this shit so if I don't use it a lot, it's gone. People are pushing Xaml on me but I do not want to code or design in Expressions.

If I were starting a business I would take a graphic designer over a programmer, I can teach them how to code/design web pages; That's why I stick to hardcore coding.

Yeah we designers are a dime a dozen lol, but hard to find a really good dev.
 
Dreamweaver works for most of my needs, ie xhtml, css, php, blah blah. Using code mode much more than design mode as I prefer code manually. I use flex for my Flash shit.

I use notepad++ as well. Good basic text editor.

A website is to present INFORMATION in it's most basic form.

If that's all your doing - you don't need all that fancy crap.

Look at tmz.com. Simple as shit. But gets millions of hits.

Keep it esthetic, intuitive, and easy to peruse. With most programs, you can use a template to create a basic site with a nice bg, bottom bar, pull down menus and nice fonts. Then you just fill in your information. Simple as pie and looks pro.

Sure, but TMZ is about about new and rotating content. A site that doesn't get updated needs to look extra sweet and tasty.

yeah but are you getting millions of hits, that you need to dynamically add content? Most websites are fine for static content.

If it's dynamic, gotta ask yoruself if it's worth the "expense" of cost/manpower to update it so frequently.

Content is king.



That being said, many clients I come across want curb appeal as opposed to functionality, accessibility and ease of navigation.


Stupid clients. ;)

I designed a site for my buddy's company that allowed them to simply upload files to the specific folder on the server and create their own dynamic content. My code iterated through the file and displayed it; No return business but it was a favor for a friend.
 
I wish I would have got into the porn site business when I had a chance, I would probably have two incurable diseases but be rich as hell.

Dood....the coding side will take you a short period to pick up, simple scripting stuff; It's the graphic design skills that matter.
