I think the ideal solution is: design your page in a graphics editor, and then build it using a text editor.


100% agreed.

First i jot down on paper the gross design elements.. then put together a site in photoshop.. then mark it up manually using a bunch of templates ive made.... It's surprising how much repetitious markup is used in webpages.. (especially css's)

If their own page is a sample of the product's output, I'll pass. <G>


OMG I see what you mean, for starters the embedded CSS was a mile long. :D

I admit.. I don't look so much at the graphics... as an amateur my aim was to write a good-looking standards-compliant code. That's what I use Html-Kit for...
Main reasons: built-in hhtml-tidy with latest engine (xhtml 1.1), built-in ftp (sometimes I edit the pages directly on the server instead of uploading them later...) with multiple servers/folders, batch operations, very smart autocomplete, (last but not the least) free.
That's it. If I'll ever got to make sites other than mine professionally I'll probably move to the wysiwyg->code scheme...
