Um...it would depend. I use Photoshop for all graphics. HTML/PHP for the actual site content. But I'm an amateur.

Which photoshop should I use if I would to build a website... Photoshop CS 7 or Elements?

[SilentWarrior]

You can do it prety well in CS or even 7. I use CS and it gets the job done well.

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks to make my pages, and PHP functions make easy to put new things on your site. In my case, all the texts are in the database

I use Photoshop 7 for graphics, 1st page for the content.
I have used them for a long time and I haven't had any problems, I can do everything I want with those programs...

For web pages I am using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and for images I use Adobe Photoshop. I think these two software are enough for a website. For file uploading I use Filezilla which is a very good software and free also. Instead of filezilla you can also use Smartftp which is also very good and free. Earlier to Dreamweaver I was using NVU which is free.

for coding pages - dreamweaver mx2004

for graphics - photoshop cs

sometimes for some graphics i need to load fireworks as it integrates with dreamweaver (only for certain features)

im usesless at graphics tho.

I do have to say I've taken dives into Dreamweaver and GoLive several times, and unless you are maintaining a large commercial site, not usually personal, neither can still compare to simply coding all your languages yourself. ...Dreamweaver and GoLive do allow you to do this, but I don't seem much point of using them only to do that-

...As there are several programs much more accomodating to this- the most popular among the code world, as it is definately at least one of the oldest in it's class, is BBEdit- which also comes in BBEdit lite. Those two aside there are several other commercial and shareware options, as well as a colossal of absolutely free open source apps that can easily compete with BBEdit- you just must be simply willing to compile the code yourself, or have an application to deal with the compiling for you- both are simple options.

Given the choice between anything, I'll -always- go with those mentioned in the second paragraph. Open source applications are incredibly easy to find- though I use Fink Commander and http://www.sourceforge.net for finding the most reliable and useful ones.

i use photoshop to create all of my graphics, but i am hoping to buy PSP (eventually) and i do all of my html in notepad, and i also occasionally use smartFTP. i have macromedia dreamweaver, but i never use that because i prefer using the straight coding to designing it.
