Best Way to design a website ?

[Arsalan]

Which softwares do pros recommend on making ASP.NET website ? Which
software do you prefer ? I think Visual Studio is not that good at making a
website, so what combination of softwares do u guys use to make a website ?

Depends on what you mean by "make". I mean I love Visual Studio for working
in the code, but it's Design view is poor. If that's what you are referring
to then I use a text editor.

P.S... "Best" is WAY too subjective, I'd suggest avoiding that

To tell you the truth. I have both Visual Studio and Dreamweaver open at the
same time. I use VS.NET to create all of my aspx pages and it alsocreates
all the assoc aspx.vb files for me. Then I use dreamweaver to edit the html
layout in the aspx page. e.g layout the tables, cells, and also to create the
css stylesheet. Then I switch back to vs.net to add the web server controls
to the page designer because this adds the declaration to the code behind
page as well. And then of course you build in vs.net. Its alot of back and
forth; but vs 2005 should solve this issue

I use Visual Studio.Net for programming, and FrontPage for developing the
HTML portion of the app.

The Design view of VS keeps reformatting the apsx page, making it hard to
keep track of matching closing tags. Does Dreamweaver require a lot of
learning? I just want to use it for desgining the table layout and checking
matching tags.

Dear Koder:

What do you do with the stuff from Dreamweaver? Just cut and paste it into
your VS html code? I've been thinking about getting Dreamweaver myself . . .

Yes, that's what I do. Just cut and paste.

Web Matrix is a nice, handy tool.

Yes, but Dreamweaver has lots of pre-built in functions which makes life
easier, but in VS you have to make everything from the scratch
