subject: fireworks vs writing manually html+css with the occasional help of dreamweaver
Hello there
I do not know if this is the best forum for this question but at least I have not found any other more related to my question.
I want to ask you a question about using fireworks to develop web sites. It turns out, that I have been playing around with fireworks 8 and I have realized that this program is able to change your png file with slices, roll overs and all kind of cool effects into a website with the corresponding html files.
Now my question is: I do not know when I should use fireworks to develop a website instead of using for example css with the help of dreamweaver. The problem I find when using fireworks is that it's really hard to read the code it generates because it uses tables. Thus, it might be a hard task to modify manually the html code of a website developed with fireworks. Moreover since I have read in tons of websites that css is much better than tables, I thought that using Fireworks might be no so good. Neverteless, it seems that fireworks might speed up the process of developing a website quite a lot.
In conclusion, I am quite confused about the advantages and disadvantages of using a program like Fireworks 8 in contrast to developing your websites basically by writing manually your html and css code with just the help of dreamweaver from time to time.
Since I know that there are a lot of people who might have lot of ideas and suggestions, I would appreciate any comment about this issue. I am starting into web design . Furthermore, I realize that you can do the same website by using different tools, but I would like to learn the most standard way of doing things or if possible the advantages and disadvantages of each website development tool like Fireworks, Dreamweaver or any other similar tool that you might think that is interesting. What is more, I am trying to learn when I should use one tool or another, or for what I should use one tool or another. Since, there is a lot to learn, I just want to learn it bit a bit.
Thanks in advance.
