Question about which software to use for Web Pages!?

Question

Hi,

I am taking a Web Design Class and that is also what I am majoring
in as of this time. I'm going for my Associates degree and will go for
my Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design sometime next year.

My question is I took one Web Design class and I had to use Adobe dreamweaver I really liked that software and it wasn't as hard to use for creating basic web pages, however right now I am taking part 2 of web design and my teacher requires me to use Notepad,

Notepad really sucks and it does not seem to be working when I am trying to add like a audio or song, or sometimes it does not even should images. It's really weird I think the reason why she requires me to use it because it is just for assignments.

Does anyone knows what are some really good Web design softwares to use for creating professional websites with?

Thanks, I appreciate the help..

Answer 1

Theres Microsoft Expression Studio (Free IF YOU ARE A STUDENT) You can download it from http://www.dreamspark.com This is completely legal, and is ran by Microsoft. In the Expression Studio is Expression Web, that lets you create ASPX, PHP, HTML, and CSS files with ease.



There is also Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Also free, courtesy of http://www.dreamspark.com) Which lets you edit HTML & ASPX files. And CSS & PHP if you load them w/o creating a new project.



If you are just HTML editing, i suggest Visual Studio 2008 or Trellian Web Page (http://www.trellian.com/webpage/) Also Free.

Answer 2

Your Teacher is smart. YOU should be coding only in text and using your browser to test the code. WYSIWYG editors doesn't teach you right



Of course notepad isn't going to show images. its a TEXT editor. YOu have to use html to have images shown in your web page (ie and so forth.





and Avoid using MS products, as you'll be stuck with them



A free alternative to Dreamweaver is NVU but I suggest that you get HTML coding down pat before you jump back into using a WYSIWYG editor.



A good and successful web site designer, can decode a website and fix problems simply by coding. Also by coding in text, you make sure that your coding is clean and up to standards.
