What do most of you guys use to make your websites?
I have like the oldest program in the woooorld (Front Page) and I cant even do much on there, and I figured you guys must know some good program (free maybe? whistling.gif )
that are some good??

I really like the way a lot of sites make theirs like this
&I see a lot like those..do they use a specific program?

Do you mean an image editing program or a website building program? If you want a free image editing program, Gimp is a pretty decent one. As far as website building goes, the best way to go is to learn the coding by hand first instead of using a program, at least imo. I personally find that there's more freedom when you code from scratch, and you'll have a greater understanding of how to use website building programs. I coded my website by using tutorials I found on Google and studying the source codes from websites that I admired.

Oh, I should have made that clearer - I meant website building.
And yeah I think ill give that a try. I dont really have that great of an understanding of HTML but its never too late to learn I guess!

Thanksss:)

There's Adobe Dreamweaver, if you're willing to dish out money for a webdesign software.

Sorry not to be of any help, but if anybody is using a Mac, the program "Espresso" is awesome in my opinion. : D!

I use Nano.

If you want a wysiwyg editor, I suggest Kompozer.

Notepad, Firebug, Filezilla (not often), and the FileManger on my CPanel.

you still have to know html and css.

I highly recommend notepad, because since you are forced to handwrite all the coding, it is great practice unlike dreamweaver where they guess everything for you. I still love my dreamweaver though :]
