Design professional websites with Free Software

I am not a professional web designer and I have ventured, apart from HTML and CSS, rather than playing with some java code found on the network. This has nothing wrong with some professional whose brain is shot by hundreds of languages. As it concers me, the base of web is clean code, tables, CSS and rest all depends upon perfect design. With this set of assumptions, to build a professional functional website, without too much fanfare, you must use clean code, neat tables, HTML adapted to the standards and should be accepted by all browsers.

Under Windows there are plenty of alternatives, paid and free, visual or not and etc. Also, some of you guys may be using Webpagemaker for web development. It is also fine, since it is at least cheaper than Dreamweaver. To download Webpagemaker click here. I want to mention another closed solution for developing a professional web design under the GNU / Linux (and other platforms), Aptana Studio, the world's most powerful open-source for web development, which provides us a free version for home use, and is a real WEB creation monster . To download Aptana click here.

The following is the list of solutions in a particular order, but non-hierarchical. These free software have fair amount of differences in concept and and interface. You guys can use any of the following to master you website design.

1. Bluefish:
Bluefish is my main solution to write HTML code. All its virtues inherited Quanta +. But, I always refer to the differences.

• Advantages:The Windows version of this software is updated more frequently.

• Disadvantages: There is no preview in the same editor (much web editing software does not implement this function because, after all, we have to test the design in our different browsers). When I work with it, I get the impression that the autocomplete does not work as perfectly as the Quanta +.

2. Quanta +:
Quanta + has everything needed for designer in the field of web publishing. For the writers, this is the note of winning horse. I give second place by only one drawback i.e. it is very discontinuous in updating to new version.

Features: Project manager with support for HTML, XML, PHP, CSS, templates, plugins.

• Advantages: It is very comfortable to write code. It has the best interface I've ever seen under the GNU / Linux, bright colors in the code (which I always enjoy) and preview, in the editor and hosting.

• Disadvantages: Speed of development is difficult, The only visual aid is the ability to preview in the editor. But we need more.

3. Kompozer:
Based on the late NVU, Kompozer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) which claims that we can have a visual orientation. Personally, I recommend using these programs (Kompozer, Amaya) because we can build the HTML structure and our tables in an immovable state as possible. A well-mounted table or template will relieve us from many future headaches.

Features: FTP file manager, editor, CSS, HTML validator.

• Advantages: Simple and easy to use, multiplatform, preview, available in multiple languages, ideal to complement the code written from Quanta + and or Bluefish.

• Disadvantages: I found it very useful to insert content, but uncomfortable to write HTML in a non-visual,

4. Amaya
A similar case to Kompozer. In fact, I think if you spend more time with this software then it is likely to replace Kompozer on your computers. It is multi-platform and very easy to acquire and operate.

I urge you guys to stop looking for programs and codes from various sources in net. Just download any software among them and get to work. A bit of hard work and some pages will help you to build functional, stable, and respectable website. That also, without any support of dollars. These are my solutions, which had worked for me. What are yours? WebpageMaker, Aptana, Bluefish..... which one?. Responds again!
