Hi Jen,
Thanks again for your incredibly resourceful site.
I’ve been using DW for years, which is now included with CS3. Although I use the WYSIWYG much less, as it is not very accurate, it is helpful. All of the features in Homesite seem to be in DW. Is there a reason to switch?

Is there any strong css support editor that is beyond the coding what if I don’t want to code the css because its really hectic and time consuming?
I was just reading this article and I rarely give out my comments on any topic. I really sympathize for this individual as a programmer, everyone was at this position at one time or another. Programming is definitely not one of the most easiest things to do for most people. I’ve been working with different types of programming for the past 24 years as well as a variety of applications. If there were alot of people who thought that it would be easy then alot of people would be programming. There is about 160,000 people that is signed up with the International Web Developers Association. So if we could calculate, I would say from approximately 7 billion people we have about 500,000 bright minds that do this and do this well and another 500,000 that are beginners to intermediate. Don’t feel badly, just keep going and it will be fine. Try using Dreamweaver CS3 as oppose to Homesite because it is comparatively easier for most users I have talked to. Good Luck!
For J.Smith - you could begin with CSS templates and then tweak them to work the way you want. There are many out there for free that you can use, including some right here on this website. Try to stick with simple ones (basic layouts, for example). I have been using CSS since 2005 and still get confused by some of the more complicated CSS templates and the reality is that it doesn’t need to be complicated. Keep it simple is my philosophy.
