Professional Web Design Tools

Dreamweaver ($299) is a web-authoring tool for professional designers. It has a single dialog box where you can program default styles, create your own custom styles, or define how your elements are deployed across a Web site. Another interface, called Roundtrip HTML, ensures that when you download source code, the editor does not mangle it, a problem with some graphical editors. You can drag and drop graphical elements, and the HTML editor keeps track of where the image is, changing x and y coordinates and creating the app ropriate tags. Macromedia has integrated its familiar Director graphical interface for controlling multimedia as well as Dynamic HTML elements. It lets you build frames and tables using a drag-and-drop approach. There's also an extensible UI for custom palettes.
