Hi All,

I have alooked at quite a few web hosting sites. In a LOT of cases they have very similar design and layouts. If you look at the source a lot of them use templates.

I'm familiar with Dreamweaver and NOF, and wanted to know if you guys use any other software to create your websites or perhaps there are some specific templates out there.

Any help would be appreciated ...

I use Adobe GoLive 6.0.1 for my WYSIWYG editing and BBedit. There are a lot of template sites out there like 4templates.com, ***************.com and guistuff.com.

I use an old version of Homesite (Macromedia). It's really great, before I used Notepade :D

I have tried Dreamweaver two years ago and it's too long to create a site.

After testing many programs we decided on 3dize coolpage webmaster 7.2, the reason we chose coolpage is because it is easiest feature rich 100% pixel perfect placement (wysiwyg)program we have tested.

This program allows our clients to easily update and/or add new web pages to their site or template without our intervention.

furthermore if you can write a little code you can add to the coolpage api.

Very nice feature (we created a drag and drop paypal shopping cart, a table maker and a sizable pop up window maker).

Notepad!

I use Dreamweaver. I make the basic layout then save it as a template to base my other pages off of. So when you see templates some of them may be that way as well.

vim is better :D

Text editor and PSP.

Dreamweaver MX

Started out using MS Frontpage, but now I use Dreamweaver MX.

ARACHNOFILIA (http://www.arachnoid.com) :pimp:

vi classic on my laptop.

Anybody ever use Net Objects Fusion ??? (MX)

Micromedia Dreamweaver MX

Visual Studio 6 when I'm in a hurry and have a large project to manage along with Homesite 4.5.2 (my personal favourite).

Command Matrix for .Net stuff cos I refuse to shell out for Visual Studio .Net

Dreamweaver Ultradev 4 for initial layout (if there isn't a designer involved).

Hear good things about Dreamweaver MX from some developers.

photoshop, ilustrator and vi

started using Frontpage :P
Now I am using dreamweaver and photoshop (and hotscripts.com ;))

I just got Dreamweaver MX but haven't used it yet. Don't want to switch from Dreaweaver 4.0 right in the middle of a project.

Namo web editor 5 and Dreamweaver MX, adobe photoshop 7

Well I'm just an amateur but I still use an old WYSIWYG called Web Express by MicroVision Development.

Macromedia MX studio, photoshop 7 + notepad

Just notepad.


lol. Our site generated by the combined efforts of the Macromedia MX studio, photoshop 7, and a small hint of caffine. :)

for the coding I use Notepad, as for the images, photoshop, or paint shop pro, depending on the computer I am sitting at.

Dreamweaver, Photoshop, PSP, and Notepad.

When I am just making pages I use FrontPage 2000 as a graphical editor (use a lot of tables and text). When I am editing PHP scripts I am starting to use vim.

I suppose emacs would also work for the brave.

Cheers,
Frank Rietta

Notepad or 1st Page 2000 (just an html editor) for coding, and Illustrator and Photoshop for graphics

DreamWeaver, Homesite, VS.NET, and vi.

I'm starting to use XML and XSLT stylesheets to generate HTML pages via a run-once tranformation tool that I built using VS.NET. Great for large mostly static web sites.

Dream + notepad (script)

Notepad

Notepad (the right way) :D

I Use pencil and Paper..


...and then Dreamweaver MX & Fireworks MX for the Computer related stuff.. :)

I use visa :D

I'm not a designer, so I use Word '97 for the tables, text, and inserts - then use Notepad to edit/add.

Did a test run of Dreamweaver - found it very user unfriendly.

Micromedia

Eek! Microsoft has merged with Macromedia?!? :stickout:

For me, I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX.

PICO :)

I mostly use emacs.

All my sites are created with 100% unregistered shareware.

notepad and photoshop! :D

I'm a dreamweaver 4.0 guy. I tried MX, and, well, it didn't run well on my poor little Pentium III 750... Also played a bit with Golive. Very nice package.

BUT, for my buck, or, something like that, I'm sticking with the old dreamweaver...


Steve - Ruler of None.

My site is made with PHP-Nuke, but I hacked it all up with notepad, till I found Ariesoft Winsyntax.

I build my basic layouts and such in Front Page Express 2.0, clean up in Winsyntax and do my php coding in Winsyntax also.

http://www.winsyntax.com

GoLive and Homesite.
Didn't like Dreamweaver 4 because of the way it leaves the desktop showing.
I'm more Adobe oriented than Macromedia anyway, coming from a print background.
I intend to try Dreamweaver MX. Heard it incorporates a lot of Homesite, which I really like.

note pad and ms paint.;)

Looks like most people are using Macromedia MX, Notepad and...

100% unregistered shareware

LOL

I used Fireworks to make the graphics for our site and then vBulletin for our forums :)

In my view Fireworks is a great graphics package for the price :)

I use notepad. There's nothing like the satisfaction of watching your code turn into something wicked-cool. :)

If you'd like to have synthax highlighting, then you should give EditPad Pro (www.jgsoft.com) or EditPlus (www.EditPlus.com) a go. They are both wonderful pieces of software. :)

Notepad for the code and Fireworks for the graphics.

Poor boy here can only afford FrontPage which I've been working with for a couple of years and find its easy to use and has a lot of functionality. We're in the process of migrating our site at work so I may be doing some work in DreamWeaver here soon. I still can't quite afford it yet myself because I have yet to see additional benefits that would make it worth it to spend my hard earned money on. It's more of a commercial pricing and I'm not sure how so many people can afford it unless they're using company funding, making better money than me (which wouldn't be too tough to do), or are using unregistered versions.

Dreamweaver by far. Get things done faster and more effectively. Worth the investment. :)
