Default Designing CSS layouts

Is there any way at all of avoiding having to hand code all the css of a page myself?

Is there a Windows application that I can use to design the layout, and tweak it through a GUI. Does Quark Express do the job, or even Adobe InDesign?

I'm usually used of doing it myself, but doing a project with my brother which will require speed and time, and has to be done as soon as possible really. That and the fact that I hate having to fix bugs in CSS/HTML, etc. I'll have about 8 different page layouts/templates to make in Pure CSS/xHTML.

Price matters, but is insignificant in my decision. (I know people in the business )

thanks for the help

CSS Framework might be the way to go ?

Gets rid of most of the **** ups you'll generally make.

I've not used dreamweaver for design since .. hmm... 2001 maybe ? I know on the mac there are a few that can be recommended but I don't think you've got a mac so.

Taking a week off school next week to do work while the boss is on holidays so I'll have his mac for the week. But if it's a mac, I'd prefer not to spend money...

Hi nevf

I use Dreamweaver. The CS3 version (as opposed to earlier versions of Dreamweaver) is the best for CSS stuff.

You have to say that ... you're teaching dreamweaver :P


MacRabbit - CSSEdit - Web 2.0 in Style was I think the software for the mac that was recommended to me before.

Darn Forbairt, leave my posts alone

I use Dreamweaver CS3 as it is. It's not really a GUI for CSS, it's the closest I've gotten to it though.

perhaps you could suggest this feature next time your talking to the developers - well you do own it after all

thanks forb for the link as well, i'll have a looky into it!
