Read: Website Development Application: A program to create websites.

It all depends on what purpose there is and who wants to create the site:

• Professional web designers will preferably work in source code view, in which HTML(1) is the most used code.
• Amateurs and Internet Marketers will use a more easy to use WYSIWYG(2), HTML-editor

So, basically a professional web designer could as well use a notepad to write the code for a website and ’save as’ .html or .htm, but for practical reasons they will use a professional HTML editor to see the website in ‘Design View’.  In other words to see the result of their hard work.

On the other hand, amateurs and people who want to avoid working in code, but that do want a professional looking website, will work in ‘Design View’, also using a HTML-editor.

For the latter it can go a step further: there are also Click, Drag  and Drop website creation software applications available, that do not require the user to know any code at all.

But, there are also other platforms to create professional looking sites:

1. Wordpress
2. Joomla
3. Drupal

Some web designers offer their services customizing one of the 3 above.

For example: A wordpress blog can be customized and the look changed in seconds. There are hundreds of plugins available to change the look and feel of a Wordpress blog and to optimize it for fast search-engine indexing.

On top of that a Wordpress blog can be customized in such a way that it doesn’t look like a blog, but as a professional looking website.

Wordpress is free to use and there are thousands of free themes available on the net.
I will dedicate a number of articles to Wordpress development and customization on this blog.
