MAJORITY VOTE : DO YOU USE HTML ETC OR A WEB AUTHORING PROGRAM E.G DREAMWEAVER?
(8 posts)
@djhull3917,
If you're talking about pure HTML (like in notepad, or such) versus a Content Management System ("CMS", like Drupal or Joomla), or a WYSIWYG editor, like Kompozer or Dreamweaver, there are advantages and disadvantages to each, that generally depend on the user level. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish with a "vote".
Generally, more experienced users and developers write their php, css, and html code in a pure form in IDE ("Integrated Development Environment") software. Others use a CMS or WYSIWYG environment.
There are some pretty sophisticated users here, so I suspect your "vote" will be all over the map. To get a more meaningful evaluation, you'd probably have to stipulate the user level . . . "beginner", "intermediate", or "expert", "geek", or "developer".
Some experts can just spit out the code, know exactly what it will do, and don't need or use a CMS or WSYWIG.
With a price of $400 USD + tax, sure NOT going to use Dreamweaver. (Whew !!!!)
Free HTML Editor like Coffeecup is fine for non-commercial sites that can't recoup their investments.

Plenty of free scripts, images and such on the net.
