Those in web-design, what do you use for a program?

[waterjug]

I used to do web-design as a side business about 8 years ago now, and am thinking about getting back into it. What do you guys/gals use for it these days? Is WordPress acceptable?

Notepad and MS Paint.

I'm working on a side project now. Using web expression 4, notepad ++ , and wamp.

Depends what you want to do.

dreamweaver or notepad

 

[nickbits]

Visual studio but only as a text editor

Text editor only methods tend to be for gurus who know web design forwards and backwards.

Dreamweaver is great if you're interested in having a live preview of your site in a split-screen setup (as you code). You can also use dreamweaver to edit wordpress themes if you want a blog.

I do like dreamweaver and it also includes a very nice program for uploading files to your server.

I used to use dreamweaver but I couldn't get used to its clunky interface. Not sure how much better the new one has gotten.

Text editor, but I never build stuff from scratch.
Most of the time I take something already done and adapt it for my needs.

Dreamweaver mostly for new sites. I like the CSS support, file manager for sites and template management. The live preview is pretty cool but really isn't 100% accurate. It's a nice guide though.

hmmmmmm I used to use DW back in the day, I downloaded notedpad++ as well...I love it already.

Arachnophilia

 

[thujone]

dreamweaver is totally worth it in my opinion

 

[DarkWarrior2]

PSPad for HTML/CSS editing, Photoshop and Irfanview for graphics, WAMP and LAMP for testing. I like WordPress and Drupal for CMS. I used to love Joomla, but the lack of built in custom urls turned me off to it - all the good plugins that do this are paid only.

Arachnophilia looks interesting. I'll try it.
