Notepad ++ or Dreamweaver/wordpress ? (pcc)

You can install the dreamveiwer CS6 in your PC it will help you a lot if you want to learn about coding. Intellisense option will help you a lot because in intellisense more than 1000 tags are build in so you can learn easily from there.
 
If you need site fast, use Wordpress or blogger, else learn php/html/css and code it yourself (best option)
If you dont want to code the design use HTTRack to "steal" some websites then open in notepad++ and edit texts/info/logos. If you become a good programmer you will need only notepad++.

Good luck :)
 
The way I have learned a lot, is to start with WordPress or other CMS and edit the code to your needs. The editing itself I have done in either Dreamweaver or Notepad++. In the past I suppose it was also recommended to use the plain Windows Notepad, but obviously one beauty of Notepad++ is that it highlights your code.
 
DEffo use Notepad++. It will help your knoweldge and you can grab some free open source templates to help you code the sites.
 
I used to use Notepad++ until I found Sublime Text 2, which is simply
just awesome. In any case, both of them are good editors. If you want
a full-blown IDE, go with Netbeans.

P.S: I do not like Dreamweaver.
 
In my view, it 's worth it to learn html/css/js from scratch. It will pay off in the future if you get into this. If you want it as a one-off thing, go with Dreamweaver etc.


Try webstorm. It has a 30day trial and if you like it, I 'm sure you 'll find a way to extend it ;)

Just learn html/css/js from scratch, after that you can start building your own custom themes with wordpress, it is not very hard. Like this you can bank hard and build a real business in the long way run...

P.s
I use Notepad++ personally, but you can use whatever software you like and are comfortable with.
 
I Suggest You To Use Notepad ++ Or Dreamweaver CS6 As Both Are Coding Friendly. Rest Choice is Yours..
 
maybe u can start with Sublime Text, its really usefull and easy to use, autocmoplete tags etc.
 
start with notepad ++
i only use this for all my html / css code and javascript for more than 3 years now.
learn the basics and then customize your wordpress theme. it really isn't hard.
good luck
 
For beginners i suggest notepad++. this way you can learn how to completely learn the code and not cut corners and take shortcuts cause we all do that. then move onto some other program like others here have mentioned.

to be honest if you want to make a website and make it look "professional" then use wordpress and all the wysiwyg choices out there. they are limited in what they can do also they can ruin your code easy. also by the way wysiwyg this means What You See Is What You Get. Its called that for a reason its basic

there is a reason why them programs where created it was to make it easier for anyone to make a website fast and easy, but there down turn is if you can learn the code, then use the code, may be slow but will result in a far better quality website.
