I think a WYSIWYG editor is the best way to go regardless of your experience level. HTML page design and editing is a highly visual process, and being able to manipulate things like color, fonts, tables, and images and see the results in real time is ideal. One thing I forgot to mention in this post was the growing trend towards building sites using WordPress. Since the WP platform has a built-in editor for both posts and themes, an external editor is not required. I think for a college level curriculum in Web design, students should probably be provided with access to Dreamweaver in the lab and trained in its basic usage. I believe Adoble offers a student version at a nice discount :-). Rich Hi Drew, thanks for your comment. I think a WYSIWYG editor is the best way to go regardless of your experience level.

On that note, for those of us in the middle do you recommend using a WYSIWYG as a bridge to learning to code directly, or are you advising a good IM code through a WYSIWYG?
