Web Design

Hello,

What is the closest thing to Microsoft Frontpage/Expression for linux?  I've tried Nvu and Kompozer but they seem too basic.  I can't even figure out how to change the font in Kompozer!  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Web Design

Quanta Plus is pretty nice too, if you want a WYSIWYG editor.  Bluefish is even better if you want to write out all your HTML, PHP, and CSS by hand, which I recommend doing (the code your system generates isn't necessarily that great).

WYSIWYG editors are evil.

Bluefish is a pretty nice text editor with web development in mind. You might also like Geany. Or if you wanna be super-productive in the long run (does have a learning curve) then go for vim.

Re: Web Design

If you can stand the evilness of WYSIWYG tools then try SeaMonkey Internet Suite.

Re: Web Design

You can give Aptana a go. I haven't used it extensively, but it looked good.
Else, Vim is the best solution for me.

It is built on KDE...  but surely you could have googled that

Re: Web Design

I like Quanta Plus. It's a cross between hard coding and WYSIWYG. It give you a preview of the webpage and buttons to add things like forms and stuff...personally I don't use them. Wish there was Quanta for KDE4!! Now I'm using KWrite/Kate.

I was aware of that - I'm just asking if it works in Gnome without having to use KDE?

Re: Web Design

it'll work, but it will need tons of kde-libs
