Dreamweaver is probably the best at creating html code, although a basic html site is porbably best served to be handcoded. If you want something more advanced again Dreamweaver and/or the macromedia products.

For PHP and CGI based pages Notepad is the best. Or you could use x-emacs with one of sourceforge's PHP interface.

For normal webpages, I would go with Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

Anyway, do you mean a nice, clean coding interface or do you want a WYSIWYG editor like Frontpage?

Was hoping to find old version of Allaire's Homesite here (http://www.oldversion.com/) but did not see it. If kitchy software is your thing then you could check out HotDog Pro (http://www.sausage.com/products.html) ...at least that used to be the "easy" HTML editor back in the day...looks even more glammed up now though.

Like DaveW suggested, WebMatrix is a slick little FREE tool but some form of programming experience would be nice to have in using it to it's full potential.

Heheheh, if you had to churn out web content for a client I really doubt that you'd use emacs (solely that is). Unless they agreed to pay you a $0.50/hr billable rate. ;)

Oh I don't doubt you. However, a friendly little competition to see who could create "ABC" web page(s) the fastest (something above vanilla with nested tables, etc) would be interesting. ;)

I'd use MS Frontpage2003 (it's way better than previous versions), UltraEdit, TopStyle and Paint Shop Pro.

to be honest, text editors are a viable choice if you're using CSS, no frames, and not a lot of tables...

Oh absolutely. My Dad was insanely efficient with WordPerfect 5 and earlier. He knew ALL the keyboard shortcuts and used them with amazing results...so I know. Keyboards will always be the fastest interface...mice are slow and klunky. However, getting initial rough layouts I beileve can be much more quickly done with a WYSIWYG editor. I text edit HTML all the time, especially for maintenance tasks. Did you...mention...FRAMES? Heretic!!! :p

mmmm, for initial rough layouts, I prefer using Illustrator/Photoshop/something like that and then absolute positioning via CSS. and yes, I did mention frames--forgive me. :)

Same here, I use Paint Shop Pro (just as good as PS for 90% of what you do webdev-wise) to do mockup work. Guess I was talking more about designing actual templates with WYSIWYG editor. I liked Dreamweaver a lot too but now FP2003 is a lot more like it and all our clients us FP so I kind have to go with that.
