Shuttle VA Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Im curious as to what web design program everyone is using? I am getting tired of my web design program since it lacks power to build larger and more safisticated web sites. Thanks in advance for the responses.

Kritikdevelopment Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok heres the ropes since you seem to be new, There are many different types of programs out there that can accomplish what you require. These programs are called IDEs or Integrated Development Environments. Most support many different languages with various settings and tools ( code coloring, snippet, debug etc. ). There are a few different types of environments however which require you to decide what type of developer you are.. Simple/Minimal and lightweight: -Notepad [ Self explanatory ] -Notepad++ [ Code coloring, tools but lacks project management ] -Intype [ light, support code coloring but lacks project management ] -*E-text editor [ very easy to work with but has awkward project management] Feature filled and more resouce intensive: -*Dreamweaver [ Clean, easy and very user friendly] -Netbeans [ Develped by Sun Microsystems, clean, easy and my personal favorite] -Eclipse [ Extendable, supports many languages but has an awkward process to it] -*Visual studio [ Nabeel's baby, easy to use, add $99.00 if you want php support. Another favorite of mine for large projects] The ones marked with stars require licenses thus meaning they cost some money the rest are free.

Moderators Kyle Posted February 8, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I use the standard with the php addition And will it be easy if i use that program for skining? Are you using the php bundle? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kritikdevelopment Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yes and yes. Skinning is not really what you believe it to be. It is basically layout design but separating the top of the page from the bottom of the page, and that is it. As long as your editor can save in a .tpl, .css and .php file extension you will be golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
