Folks I've had the same request from 2 mates in the last week. They want to do their own web sites / clubs sites. Looking for recommendations for free / cheap easy to use web page editing tools. Thoughts? |

cheap/free Learn html/css It's really not that difficult, and better to get a professional as even people who think they have good designs... very rarely do (just had a client who designed their own site enquire why they have 0 conversion atm) |

I use Notepad++ for web design. I tried Adobe Dreamweaver, but it was a nightmare, compared to writing the code myself. I'd probably spend 2/3 of my time going back in source mode and fine tuning the code that Dreamweaver would generate. And it was better than most of the tools I'd tried. Bluefish has a fairly good reputation, although, like Dreamweaver, I tried it, then swapped back to Notepad++... |

Notepad++ is the easiest way to start or some Eclipse/Netbeans free IDE'ing so they don't have to know syntax |

I use textwrangler, but komposer looks good if you're into wysiwyg. |

Dreamweaver treats its code base as a form of palimpsest - it just re-writes and re-writes the code. You get artefacts and all kinds of junk. It's not an HTML generator at all - it's a text editor with a clever (ish) interface on top. I prefer to use Freeway for website work, but second on my list is Coda. |

Coda's cool, but I have it with a browser and textwrangler. I love the idea of it, but it doesn't strike me as anything you couldn't achieve without opening the different apps yourself. |
