Thread: Frontpage or Dreamweaver or ??

Mainly Dreamweaver Ultra, CodeCharge and any various 'Image' packages.

I live by Dreamweaver. I used to use FP but then I downloaded DW and fell in love with it .

The code/design mode rocks and makes ASP/PHP about 1,000,000x easier but I can't stand Fireworks and have to use Photoshop for designing images, etc.

Also never got the hang of Freehand.

I started out with Front Page when DW was in it's early days and I picked up some really bad habits that I've tried to knock out of my work since I converted to DW, which was really hard to get used to but it's brilliant now.

I usually start a design in Adobe Photoshop then slice it up and bring it into DW where I make everything look right then take it over to Edit Plus (editplus.com) and add all the PHP coding I need to add.

I've been using Dreamweaver MX a bit recently. Frontpage does not even begin to compare.

Agreed,

It is a lot better for dynamic webpages than before

but it does need a big monitor to really appreciate all its extra functionality

thanks

True, but then as a designer is a large monitor not a mandatory requirement ?

We use the iiyama VM Pro 512s here. Truly an excellent image.

I still use 800x600 on a 15"

I like to see my icons up close

Thanks

Truly an excellent image.[/b][/quote] I would agree a large good quality monitor is pretty essential. I have a NEC FE950 19" (considering getting a 2nd for a dual monitor setup - gonna need a reinforced desk though as they weight a ton!) - you get lots more space to work with for all those fireworks palletes etc. And playing games is more enjoyable too Matthew Russell Tea Boy Voxtreme UK Limited Deano ! says: an i dont care if i look like a hair dresser their always styleish Reply With Quote   3rd May 2002 #24 TITAN Titan Internet no reviews yet.

Consider this - the monitors we use are something like £600. They have a 5 year guarantee and I daresay would last longer but even at 5 years thats probably 2/3 different PCs you'll have..... funny you mention the gaming - any of you lot UT'ers or RTCW fans ? We do tonnes of these.....

Sorry but the reason that Frontpage exists is because a company called Vermeer Technologies Inc came up with version 1 and then Micro$oft bought Vermeer (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/1996/jan96/vrmeerpr.asp). Hence _VTI_ in the folder names. oh shi** - first post here and i'm disagreeing with someone - sorry will try to be more behaved.
