Hi,
I'm looking for a good offline web page creator/editor,

I have Rapid weaver, are there any other good suggestions(Some thing relatively easy to use)

Take the plunge - dreamweaver

I only note this because you sound like you're above iweb, and easy to adapt type of person

I've been using Sandvox from http://www.karelia.com/ for about six months and I much prefer it over Rapid Weaver.

The current release 1.1.1 has a couple of publishing issues but the latest beta of 1.2 fixes all them. After rushing 1.1 to market a bit they are doing extra testing on 1.2 and it seems like this new Beta is the nuts.

But to be honest I've not had any of the problems a couple of others have had and I find it a great program to work in.

I could go on about its features - but check out the video on their website that goes thru most of them.

Like hawker says, dreamweaver over iweb anyday, and if you're starting out with a new app, might as well make it dreamweaver.

I was gonna also recommend Notepad (I prefer it to textedit when it comes to web pages), but maybe that's going too far...

I use Taco HTML Edit - which is also just notepad really, except it has syntax highlighting :P.
Plus also it has testing buttons which allow you to open it in any browser you have on your comp.

I don't use any of that. Everything I produce I do by hand coding, you have far more control that way and I do wed design and programming for a living.

I work as a web developer at a university. I have used Dreamweaver for years, but I am really glad I started off by learning to hand-code originally years ago, and always have both (code and design) views open at the same time. I often switch back to code view only, and don't really feel I could work on a website without that knowledge. Also, I really think that to build accessible websites and use CSS properly you just have to know how to hand-code CSS ...

for moving beyond Dreamweaver, Taco HTML Edit is a very good start point, after that SEEdit, and Amaya

CSSEdit and HyperEdit here. I can't imagine building a big web page in a visual editor.

I guess it depends on what you're intending to build.

ah bbedit was my friend. I remember back with old Gerry's ICQ, you use to be able to edit your contact list to bypass approval

Thank you guys for all you suggestions have jotted them down.

Now i guess i have some serious downloading to do + purchasing.

Cheers

I too am glad to have learned HTML and handcoding prior to learning dreamweaver. I too can't build anything without knowing whats in all the code (more or less anyway). I actually use notepad for most of my structural web stuff and dreamweaver to just put the polish on it.

Hi there all,

My first post on this forum !

I'd say that if you have basic or no knowledge of web design, Sandvox or Rapidweaver are really good!

I've been using Rapidweaver for now more than 2, and it's just great!

And then with a bit more knowledge you can modify and create your own templates!
