Web designers
If you have decided that you need a good website for your business, the next step is to decide who should create it. This decision is one that needs a lot of attention because if on the one hand, a well-organized and attractive web design can help you tremendously in making more money; on the other hand, a poorly designed website can cost you money, drive away customers, and can hurt your company reputation. Following are the few basic steps you need to keep in mind, while choosing a Web Design Company

Hi,
I just can’t stand Dreamweaver on the Mac (and tolerated it on XP). I use DW mostly but am going to try this tool and see how it works for me.

hey have essentially said “here you go, spend $1000 and we will add in a bunch of graphics and publishing stuff as well” and then you can figure out how to make use of it.

I have just discovered a tool that requires only the ability to type and click the buttons of a mouse!
See a website I have just made using this tool at mytreesurgeon.com

“Remember typing HTML codes like and and making it all work?”

I’m not entirely sure you ever did. Any web developer worth his money and reputation still codes by hand. Do you pay attention to the people you interview?

I echo the fact that you still really need to code by hand which I find amazing.

The Coda tool mentioned above seems very good if you are a Mac user. Depending on your site it could be a good fit. I use DW mostly but am going to try this tool and see how it works for me.

As an aside Adobe seems smart for buying Macromedia/DW but they have done little to nothing to really embrace that user base and bring it forward. They have essentially said “here you go, spend $1000 and we will add in a bunch of graphics and publishing stuff as well” and then you can figure out how to make use of it. Some special tools for DW users that would have expanded layout/graphics options in the DW context would have been huge. But Adobe has done none of that. (my view.)

Scoble, you seem to be under the impression that web developers no longer code html/css/js etc by hand. I think your losing touch of how things are really done in the trenches. Notepad/Notepad++/EditPad/Notepad2 and all those other text editor variants are still a web developers best friend.
