OK, I'll try to participate;)
Based on your experiences...
a few with WO but a lot with website:)
1) what is the better web developing enviroment ?
I use Xcode - WOBuilber - Adobe GoLive
Xcode - WOBuilder and hand written (X)HTML template + CSS
2) what you think about CSS only based WebLayout?
This is the way to go as it's the only way you could get a correct
rendering on different peripherals. Let say you want to provide your
content on a computer screen and on a mobile phone/PDA. You'll use
media="screen" and media="handheld".
You can't achieve this based on the request header because it not
safe enough;)
When you have to change everything on the UI, you just edit your CSS,
no need to edit anything in your HTML or project. For example you can
change the entire UI of your website in a couple of hours (including
exporting the images;)) using CSS, something not possible using table
layout.
last thing, using CSS you'll get between 30 to 50% saving on bandwith
which can really count if you have heavy load.
And so the site is faster, and can work on low bandwith peripherals
(did I mentioned mobile phone?)
We used for many years table based layouts using GoLive (using CSS
for font, rollover and styles) , and without need of touching any
line oh HTML by hand... except for dynamic content...
see these:
http://www.borgodicolloredo.com
http://www.polisem.com
http://www.hotelmontinope.it
they are entirely table based layouts, they load fast and are
extremely easy to mantain. and works same on every browser without
contitional comments.
Why switch to hand written CSS ?? tecnology must simplify.... CSS not.
What you think about?
I've never seen a WYSIWYG tool that generate valid (X)HTML when you
want to do something really nice and flexible. You always have to
edit the generated code anyway. Mostly because I'm a standard
compliant psychopath;)
It is faster for us to directly code by hand than having to correct
GoLive or Dreamweaver code.
One last thing to consider is people with disabilities... table
layout is just like scramble content for them...
Hope this give you some clues;)
