I assume you mean good web design software, not web designers (ie people who design websites for a living).


Only bit of software I know of offhand is Dream Weaver (again the software, not the forumite) from Adobe. Could be pricey though (Adobe usually is).

I haven't tried Dreamweaver, but it's certainly been going for a long time, in various versions. And, as Carni says, you do have to pay an awful lot for it (Dreamweaver CS4 is over £300, I think). You can get a demo from here.

The full version of NetObjects Fusion is $200, but they have a basic "essentials" free version that you can download from here.

There are plenty of other free html editors around, and some free wysiwyg packages. Not all of them are great, but worth a look if you want to make sure you don't waste your money. I guess this is as good a place as any to start.

Good luck!

If you're a beginner and don't know HTML then I'd say a wysiwyg package is what you want Damz. I've always crafted by hand personally using Notepad ++ and Jedit but you need to know the mark-up language to do that well.*

Seamonkey looks interesting, I'd start there probably (I haven't tried it myself but might have a gander).

What exactly are you trying to write? There are lots of authoring / blogging style applications / templates out there as well which also might do the job.

You also might do better asking in General rather than the EU boards, some experts mightn't see it here.

If you're after the basics, W.H. Smiths did a really useful book called "creating a web site... for beginners" - that starts from scratch and gives you a pretty solid insight into the basic design process and covers everything from raw HTML coding to CSS.

Web Monkey is also a good resource - at least it used to be.
