HomeSite is great. I think it has a church set up in its name. It certainly
has the followers (perhaps the disenchanted flock from the Church of
Netscape). But it's definitely not WYSIWYG. Dreamweaver's a good choice, but
there are others. One thing with DW is that it assumes you know what you are
doing. If you don't know HTML it might be best to look elsewhere. It's good
at dHTML tricks.
One thing to consider is whether or not any server-side material will be in
the pages (server-side includes, blocks of ASP, whatever) and if so, whether
the WYSIWYG editor will screw it up.
I met a graphic designer using PageMill recently and the code looked
exceptionally messy, full of nested fixed width tables of ridiculous sizes
(width="879" etc.), and empty cells, and proprietary mark-up. This is not
just an uptight geek thing either. Messy code with extraordinarily complex
fixed size tables is not the way to create flexible, liquid, fast Web pages.
It's a fact: you can't get past mediocre using this kind of software. Great
for graphic designers though who don't like things moving around and have
twin 17 inch screens. Keeps them out of my business. (Disclaimer: I don't
know whether or not it was the latest version.)
On the HS / CF Studio question -- I have both running here, and I'm
constantly amazed at the extent of support for CFML built into HS. I think
the biggest difference is the colour of the icon.
