If you want to code visually ..dreamweaver cs3 is a good option.It has a
very good css editor also.I use both dreamweaver and microsoft visual studio
for my coding and I feel both are good.
but always check manually for web standards :-)
I suggest you to download the trial versions and
One thing to realize is dreamweaver does often use non web standard
rules for creating HTML. While it can help you create code it is not a
substitution for knowing code.

It may also be worth looking at Microsoft's Visual Studio 2008 Web Designer
Express Edition - it's completely free (It has nothing to do with the

Its good for organizing your work flow, with document tabs and what not.
The code is pretty clean these days and theres a good built in validator.
