(i don’t use any of them, btw, but if i were to got with one it would be dw)

Microsoft Frontpage is now obsolete; Bill stopped production of it and will stop supporting it next year.

They have a new web program out called Expression…

If you are serious about making websites, learn XHTML and CSS and hand code with notepad, notepad++ or the code view in dreamweaver.

If you just want to dabble, I would suggest Dreamweaver, and if you cannot afford it, there are many other less expensive WYSIWYG editors out there, just do a google search for “WYSIWYG editors”.

If you are looking for a good book to learn the basics, I HIGHLY recommend Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

Hi Web Designers,

You had previously recommended DreamWeaver. What’s the difference between Dreamweaver and Studio 7? What’s the on you think I need for a beginner?

do you mean adobe studio 7 (or 8)? If so, the studio package is just a bunch of adobe programs bundled together including dreamweaver. It is flash, dreamweaver, fireworks, and some others.

If you were to choose, dreamweaver would be the good choice.
