Dreamweaver

If you are just beginning and you want to eventually develop a number of different websites for yourself or others, particularly in terms of your career, you will need to engage with computer code sooner than later, then Dreamweaver is definitely the place to begin.  If you just want to make a single web page quickly, then Spark Page is your best choice. Dreamweaver offers a "split" interface, which can show either the computer code itself, the WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) interface, or both simultaneously.  You can also see both the code and the design simultaneously using the "split" view, which is helpful for beginning to learning the "language" of the computer code behind websites -- the split view is like learning a new language by watching a foreign movie with subtitles in your own language.  Both Dreamweaver and Muse are extremely powerful applications, and many professional web developers you these tools to build, edit, manage, and publish websites for the clients and companies.  Thus, Dreamweaver and Muse also support CSS and Javascript editing, and they offer many functions and widgets to automate common features such as menu bars and media players.
