hand coding probably wont happen. I know a little code, enough to be dangerous but that is about it. I have iweb 2.0.4 and rapid weaver 4.x.... dreamweaver CS3.... so their older versions... perhaps I could try rapidweaver again if I could find some new templates.... all my templates are old and outdated looking, sort of cheap looking to be honest.
. Not sure the above objectives go well along together. Two possibilities as I see it:
(1) If you do not trust your understanding of html and CSS code, which is quite legitimate these days. It seems to me you will want to rely on one (and only one) able and up to date robot to create and maintain the html and CSS code for you. I am not sure this is available for free or cheap. You may need to pay the price.
(2) If, on the other hand, you can overcome your mistrust in your coding abilities, then you may avoid to pay for the high robot cost (as I lo) and multiply the use of free tools as your iweb, rapid weaver, old dreamweaver, as you do, or SeaMonkey, as I do. But then, you need to trust yourself (in understanding html and css code) and the assistance of a good text editor (like BBEdit) to verify, tidy-up and rewrap said coding prior to uploading to your website.
There may be other alternatives. This is the best I can suggest to help clarify and better align your goals. HTH.
