Dear all My friend have finished courses of HTML and CSS (I'd like to say, she got it pretty well) and now is able to work out websites with gedit. She is starting her web design career. Now I am helping her to find out a webside design software for her Linux-based working environment. Screem and nvu are not good enough for her, she can work with them but commercial products like GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver should be more productive. I also read advertisements from CoffeeCup which also look productive. However non of them have Linux version. nvu is very good for document authors (I use it to work out most of our office documents) and simple web page creation, but not complex ones, e.g. it's not so easy to create an absolutely positioned <div> in nvu and drag it to the place you want. It's more content oriented than presentation oriented. In general content oriented websites are better, but in practise requirements are usually presentation related. screem is very good for me, because it fits my way of working. But for web artist who spend most time considering the look of the website, it is not so convenient. Put it simple, most web designers simply do not work in the way I work (with screem) but more in the way dreamweaver works. I remember long time ago I had tried IBM Homepage Builder, which I cannot recall but should have a Linux version. This software also allow easy web design like simple drag & drop. However this software seems to be replaced by IBM's Rational Web Developer for WebSphere. I am going to try this, meanwhile post this information to the mailing list: what do you think is the best web design software available for professional web designer (but not application designer) on Linux? non-free commercial software is welcomed!
