    it's not the editing program that makes the difference but the people using them ... I guess that's why my websites made with TextPad look 10.000 times better ( not to mention XHTML 1.0 strict ) then yours made with Vi

    LOL... Westech I think that just may be the cleverest thing I have ever heard. *applause*... but vi is not designed for the common man, vi is designed for programmers.

    On the other hand, A website should be designed so anyone that looks at it would know how to get to where they need to go, without lots of fancy images that do nothing to the usability aspect. Most 'designers' go for the 'visual appeal' of something. The website (unless it is a personal site) should not be an art project, the purpose of most websites (and yes it is the purpose) is to turn a profit. If having a 'visually stunning' project makes that more likely then all power to you, but I don't believe it does. Case in point could be the websites of Chris, they look decent, but they are not a designers work of art. They accomplish what they were supposed to do, make profit and perhaps give easy access to content. A little picture that does nothing when you try to click it will give nothing to this 'quest'!.

    I am not a successful web publisher yet, I have been at the game for a little over six months, I do not yet know what works and what does not, so I do not have much room to talk on what makes a project successful or not, but in personal experiance, and through my own tastes, its not what the design is but what the information is. I think the guy at useit.com would agree with me also.

    dreamweaver is a fine application, probably the best web site creating software package in existence

    Dreamweaver is great for table-based design, clientside formvalidation etc but overall it's a little to heavy.

    Yes - here's hoping that one day there's be a WYSIWYG editor that renders all CSS properly!

    Here's an idea have your text editor and browser open at the same time!
