    If you want a good community site out of the box use Joomla and Jomsocial

    I am a real fan of Coda. Its Mac only from the same people who gave
    you Transmit (drag and drop FTP client). I hate editors that build a
    lot of spaghetti code to do fancy things (Dreamweaver included). Coda
    is very clean and yet offers pre-built snippets to facilitate page
    building.

    I would like to Homesite 5.0. Its a great tool to editing HTML with CSS &
    Dreamweaver intrigation

    Liam - if you like dark themes check out Sublime Text (www.sublimetext.com/2)
    - the default theme is good but the optional Soda themes are really cool.
    It uses Textmate themes for syntax highlighting. Then there's the
    multi-select feature, it's multi-platform....
     
    I'm not affiliated in any way. Just a real fan (and I've tried *most* text
    editors - I seem to have a bit of a fetish for them!)
     
    Cheers,
    Mick

    I tried text slime and loved the clean minimal interface but it didnt have
    code complete or code hints so I scrapped it.
     
    Komodo is the bomb only gripe is i have to manually type my fonts when
    using font-family. but oh well.
     
    dreamweaver is good and i used it for years but i cant stand it now.

    I have a client who tried in vain to get control of their poorly used
    dot com domain. Finally, we put the new site under dot net and worked
    hard to optimize for search engine placement. After about four months,
    we have buried the dot com (totally inactive) and pulled the dot net
    up to the top. If all else fails, just SEO your way around the problem
    (We did this through vigorous attention to active content).

     

    Jud <judsonvaughn@gmail.com> Nov 03 05:44AM -0700  

    Well, that is part of my original point. Offering ONLY certain pages
    and portions of pages that can be edited prevents a client from
    feeling over-empowersd.
     
    However, once you deliver a site to a client, you have lost control.
    If they want to add blinking text and squished up photos, who's to
    stop them. Many times, I have wanted to show a site that I built only
    to find that the client had ruined it. That's life.
     
    Chris seems to be a lone voice, returning to hand coding. Most
    commenters are advocating total CMS tool, like Joomla, WP, or Drupal.

    Good points. I guess I worry about the loading penalty as well. Is
    that old school thinking or still an issue?
     

     

    chris walker <customsitepro@gmail.com> Nov 03 08:58PM +0800  

    It is not so much the "loading penalty" from the search engines, it is the
    bounce. I know people have itchy trigger fingers for the back button on the
    browser. I am guilty of that. If I feel that a site is taking too long
    loading I bounce rather than wait for it. I am really focusing on making my
    new projects lean and mean, avoiding using databases altogether. I know
    there are certain applications that I will need a database, but still
    trying to avoid them.
     
    Another thought regarding CMS base sites is that there are so many
    backdoors and exploits. what is joomla 1.5 on now... version 24?? with an
    HTML site, you can set the permissions on the files and consider yourself
    safe from hacking attempts.

    I have been away from web development for awhile. Now that I'm back, I
    am noticing an appalling array of issues with IE. Yeah, of course,
    IE6. But I code these nice looking sites on my Mac using Firefox and
    Safari and tweaking them just like I want them in standard HTML and
    CSS. Then I look at them in IE 7, 8 and 9.
     
    Its discouraging. I remember problems but I don't remember the variety
    of issues associated with the various releases of IE. Am I alone?

    Jud <judsonvaughn@gmail.com> Nov 03 05:36AM -0700  

    I have discovered www.saucelabs.com, which is very helpful. I lets you
    virtually interact with IE, 6,7,8, and 9 through a Flash interface n
    real time (not like the screen scrape alternatives). Its $30 a month
    but worth it to avoid embarrassment with my client. I mean, even if I
    had a Windows machine on premises, its not worth it to run four
    environments just for testing.

     

    chris walker <customsitepro@gmail.com> Nov 03 08:37PM +0800  

    The problem is caused by javascript conflicts and html5 / CSS3. There are
    workarounds, such as forcing IE to run in compatibility mode or you can
    have browser detection and use different CSS sheets for each, which is a
    lot of work. Have no fear, IE9 is here and it is pretty nice.. even runs as
    a webkit browser.
     
    Welcome back!

    Try CodeLobster, it gives a kickass kickstart for a variety of CMSes and
    frameworks including Wordpress and Joomla.
