Check out adob'es Go Live 5.0 also. I'm kinda new to Web-Page building but am learning things quick with it.

No complaint's on this end. I was able to pick up GoLive as an upgrade from PageMill. I think they might still be having a sale going on with it too, check out the Adobe site. There is also, I think, a 30-day trial demo too.

My vote goes to dreamweaver. I utilizes a plugin extension architecture and there are a ton of neat extensions as well as tight integration with Flash and Shockwave.

i would suggest dreamweaver as it dose not add it's own code like most of the WYSIWYG editors and the plus side to dreamweaver is it goes well with flash an also fireworks but you use ps so fireworks would not be in your product choice as a web designer my self i reccomend dreamweaver thou there is a small editor out there called web3000 i am unsure of the addy for this thou and as with dreamweaver no useless code is inserted which means faster page loads and nice clean underlying code would love to see your website when it is up

Hi Folks! I've used both GoLive (for my own site) and Dreamweaver (the sites I've built for others). I would give Dreamweaver the edge in both simplicity and flexibility. It's especially good in its treatment of layers and custom CSS (cascading Style Sheet) editing. But for a starter web site either one will work very well. Whatever your choice, Travis, you'll want to register with lynda.com for free user-to-user advice and support. The regular visitors are as knowledgeable in web authoring as many of the folks here at Renderosity are about 3D, and generally, platform prejudices are left at the front door. Good luck with your site. Peter (Dr Zik)

I started html with Windows Notepad hehehe but my vote is on Dreamweaver too, it is very user friendly and you can manage your site effectively. I must say I haven't tried "Go live" but the very first wyswyg editor I used was a demo of something called splash (don't ask, I don't know. I use fireworks to slice the images up aswell, you can save the entire image sliced and preformatted for importing into Dreamweaver if you want. A nice big book on html is good too, 'cause even in Dreamweaver I still have to go through the code to see why something isn't sitting or doing what I want. I used to have a site with multiple layers and multiple timelines made with Dreamweaver where certain slices were on different layers moving on different timelines and still matched up perfectly in IE and Netscape. What I ended up with was a very dynamic interface. I don't have that site up anymore but it was certainly made possible using Dreamweaver.

I'd recommed Allaire's HomeSite. It will help you learn the HTML coding as you use it to build your site. All of the above programs are great for web design, but it helps to have at least a basic understanding of HTML for the times when the prog can't do what you want.
