Dreamweaver. Period.

Sorry, that may be a bit short, but Dreamweaver is by far the best web-creation tool there is. The WYSIWYG editor is great and, should you move onto hand-writing (you probably will), the code editor is the cream of the crop.

Dreamweaver has multiple modes. One is "designer" the other is "coder" depending on what your level of experience is. The designer mode you can drag and drop and edit things like a "site builder". You can switch to the "coder" mode and see how everything works.

I suggest learning as much code as you can, HTML 4.01 is easy, but CSS and XHTML are looking like cool options for the future.

I've used both Frontpage and Dreamweaver and I have to say that for a beginner Frontpage is easier to use but Dreamweaver is better overall.

Frontpage's similarity to MS Word makes it a piece of cake to learn, but don't copy from Word to FP, it's too messy, copy from .txt files to FP and then edit for layout. And you don't have to copy the _vti_cnf folders to the web server.

Dreamweaver is more powerful but the learning curve is steeper and it program itself is expensive.

A company called Extensis makes NetPublish. NetPublish is a very good program, it can make very professional looking websites. Check out their website to see if you like it. http://www.extensis.com/en/products/product_features.jsp?id=prod60008

Personally I use frontpage, despite my no-love for microsoft. It's because I'm used to it and that makes life easy.

I use the designer mode in dreamweaver because im more of a designer than a coder but yeh it helps to look at the code as you learn stuff...but for crying out loud the guy is looking for a free one!

NVU, it's basically a fork off the netscape editor maintained by Lindows.

very simple and standalone.

But I use nano on Unix, Kedit/Kate on Linux, and notepad on windows.

Designer or not, you have more control over the look of the page if you code it without using any form of WYSIWYG. Plus, coding by hand removes all the bloat that most page creators put in.

I don't understand all these people who say they use Notepad because 'it's the best'. Just because it's plain doesn't mean it's any good! Ever heard of syntax colouring? It's a big help. And, you get line numbers, etc etc, which are very usefu lwhen debugging. Plus, everything's easier to read and manage.
