Web design software

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Basic Web Development IDE/Editor like Dreamweaver?

what software do you use, or you recommend me using for designing web pages? I don't mean WYSIWYG software, but more like adobe photoshop. I'm aware of gimp, but i don't like the separate windows thingie ... I looked into inkscape and it seems promising but cant find any good tutorials(for webdesign).

So what's your opinion on this topic?

Solution 1

Eclipse is better one, it's support (HTML - CSS - PHP - Javascript), that's mean all you need to code your pages (eclipse helios). here to download it: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/helios/sr2

For Design i recommend you to use gimp it's a good if you have knowledge in photoshop

Solution 2

I use Netbeans IDE as the Php Editor. Because of It's built-in php-manual and variable, function assist. It also provides suggestions (can be closed) for like "alt" attribute of "img" in html.

It can also be used as FTP engine to upload project to server.

Gimp is really good. But if you trying to compare Gimp with Inkscape; that is not a good idea.

Gimp is a photo editor, and is pixel based. Inscape is vector based, and used to create logos etc, which are resizable. (Sure using both in one project, not selecting one)

Both are really useful and enough to create a professional looking web applications.

By the way, you can try learning Illustrator and doing the same for inkscape.

I don't get the question. What are you looking for? Software to make websites (like bluefish, emacs, vi, gedit,...) or a photo editing tool (adobe photoshop, gimp,...) or a vector graphics tool (inkscape, xfig, adobe illustrator,...)?
