I am no sure if this is the right place to post this, but I thought I would start here.

 

I have produced a number of succesful websites over the years using an old (very old) version of Dreamweaver.

It is time to replace this, as I have encountered various issues, probably because of it's age.

I need software that is WYSIWYG, I like to design on the page without the restrictions of frames and I produce a lot of my design in Photoshop because of the freedom of manipulation and placing images, type etc where and how I want them with no restriction. I like to produce quite simple easy to use sites, so I do not need anything heavy on features that I may never use. It would need to be compatible with the majority of browsers. I am not an expert on html, but I can find my way around a page of script an edit when neccessary. I would not want anything that demanded a working knowledge of html to produce a satisfactory site.

 

If you can give me any reccomendations for software that you have expierience of, that might fit the bill, I would be very grateful. If it was not very expensive that would also be a bonus!

Why don't you just get a new Dreamweaver?

 

It is probably pointless for me to say this but I some times use text wrangler, its a free app from mac app store but it is not a wysiwyg it's basically like a more powerful version of an text editor.
