OT: Web Design Software Options

[Rusty]

I've been tasked to do a web page.

Can someone suggest a free/shareware program for web design? I'd prefer to use something inbetween writing my own code from scrach and the cut and paste of Front Page. I have FP2002, but I'd prefer not to use that. While I'm familiar with it, the code tends to be clunky, and the pages load slowly.

Going to Office Max and buying a package isn't an option for me... so something I can download would be best.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA!

Actually Frontpage 2003 is hugely improved and is pretty nice. I agree that the earlier versions (esp before 2000) sucked donkey dick, as Zois would say.

FYI...I read a good book about the guy who's company developed Frontpage. He was on the verge of selling the company to TimeWarner/AOL/Netscape but then Bill Gates stepped up with approx $133mil. Not bad for a couple year's work.

Dreamweaver is popular with the "pros" but may be major overkill for your project, as would the expensive Adobe stuff.

One of my guys at work is a big fan of one of the freeware editors and uses it for some pretty hardcore projects (for work & school) but the name escapes me; I can ask Monday if you'd like.
