Any recommendations?

1. Web development

Adobe GoLive or Macromedia Dreamweaver. Both are designed specifically for your task, and can handle all forms of content.

2. Are you programming it yourself?

PHP/mySQL is my current passion so it becomes my recommendation. :)

3. I probably COULD, but why reinvent the wheel

I usually do all my HTML in notepad :)

I figure most of those "products" listed above are php/mySQL anyways.

4. To learn?

Pride of doing something yourself? Coming up with a better wheel? :)

5. I'm not doing this to learn.

I'm a professional SW developer, with products, a patent, etc.

I want results.
