I recently downloaded Macromedia's Dreamweaver 8, and I can say that it is the greatest webdesigner that the world has ever seen! The only problem is that it costs too much money in my tastes, but otherwise it is perfect!
Does anyone know of a webdesigning studio that does not cost any money and that can be downloaded off the internet?
I tried using Notepad++ (search Google, I cannot recall the site) and it is a coder, but not a webdesign. It doesn't actually show you what the site will end up looking like, but it shows you colour-coded codes for your site.
Any suggestions for good webdesigners?

uhm... you are looking for WYSIWYG editors. WYSIWYG stands for "what you see is what you get"

I agree, if you want to work with Dreamweaver, you could also try Go Alive from Adobe. which is equally exensive.

This website has free html editors, HTML Builder XP Lite sounds like a good one. When I had some look around, some time back, I also liked: 1st Page 2000

give it a go.

EDIT: Fixed your BBcode

My favoutite WYSIWYG HTML editor is FrontPage in MS Office XP.

It can all populate features and functions.
I like it.

This tool have ONE minus - biggg resulting html code!
But I use standard windows notepad for cutting a non-needed code.

DW is far from perfect. With it, people new to CSS build sites based solely on absolute positioning which look fine on their monitors, at their screen res and their font size, but as soon as any of those variables change, their layouts invariably break.

Dreamweaver is also really good for learning some code because after a well you get used to seeing it but even then i cannot imagine making a website with microsoft notepad

[amhso]

eh i think notepad is the best way to learn.

If you are still new to this, I would recommend starting with notepad++, or any other text editor with code highlighting, since it's the best way to learn coding.
About cheap wysiwyg editor, I think Namo webeditor is what you're looking for.
