Yes , Dreamweaver is expensinve but you can find an older verson at ebay and even a n older version is quite better than any free editor

I think the templates idea is a good one, however, to see the results as making them, won't you need an editor and a preview mode?

NVU I haven't used personally, but I have heard good things from some people. I use dreamweaver occasionally but mostly everything is hand-coded now.

bra -

If your friend needs a WYSIWYG editor NVU is probably his best free alternative to paying for dreamweaver. If he is willing to put in a little extra effort to learn the code and how to write it though, he doesn't need anything.

He can pop open notepad, and since your interested in templates, just search google for a free template, download it, and open it in notepad. Might take some time to acclimate himself to the code, but shoudl be able to edit it.

Unless he is using server side languages such as php, he can just open the file in firefox or internet explorer, whatever he uses, and the changes he made will be evident.

In my oppinion, if you want something free, you could always just use your Notepad.
Nevertheless you could also get Dreamweaver because it gives you a 30 period trial version and then you can get it again. Anyways, it's worth the money if you want to buy it.

Dreamweaver is so expensive that I would think it difficult to duplicate its most useful tools. Where can I find this NVU?

It stands for nothing, pronounced as N-view. It's quite good actually, of course not on the same level as the most recent DreamWeaver version. But definitely useful enough especially if combined with hand-coding. Sometimes, we have to break-out of the free-is-not-as-good-as-expensive way of thinking.

I have not tried NVU that much , i got that software once , i guess now i have to try this one , lets see what it has in it

I have tried using NVU and I think that it is a very solid piece of software. Of course you can also get a pirated version of Dreamweaver on one of the download sites and it will work just fine.

lol

We already know that didn't we? I think the accepted way of saying it is to download for educational purposes. :D Like they were hacking software so everyone could try it before buying the genuine stuff.

Ok, sorry for the jibe but my point is, let's keep this forum clean of such discussions. If we want free stuff like that, we already know where to go.

Thanks everybody.

Hmm , yes plz keep forum clean , i think we have till now had good discussions , plz lets continue

Ok I got you, I have used WYSIWYG in every site that I have put together, I actually have learned how to manipulate those sites to the point where I did extra stuff that I thought you couldn't do, You are limited when it comes using those types of editors. But sometimes if you experiment you can do some nice stuff.
