What are web design software applications?

A web designer can use pretty much any software that can create HTML or php files. If they're really good, they could even create it using notepad or any text editor. Many people even use the free web designer programs that are offered by hosting services such as godaddy.com or ixwebhosting.com. When it comes to professional level software, the leading program is Adobe Dreamweaver, followed by Microsoft Expression Web. both of these programs offer WYSIWYG editing so what you create is what you actually get on your web page.
