Advantages and disadvantages of using Notepad to create a web page?

As mentioned, notepad is free and you already have it one windows.

Compared to dreamweaver, it doesn't have an integrated design window and it doesn't highlight the different parts of the program text (html, php, etc etc) in different colors. It also doesn't let you drag/drop to create pieces of the page like dreamweaver does.

Best split, if you're unwilling to pay, is use Notepad++ to write the code. It highlights the text in different colors the way that dreamweaver does. I've used it to write a lot of php apps, but it supports many languages, including of course HTML:

Create your file (myfile.html), open it in Notepad++, snap that to half of your screen, then open the file in your web browser and snap that to the other half.

Make a change to it in Notepad++, save that change(ctrl-S), then go to the browser and refresh (F5) to view the change.

Notepad is not very optimal for creating web pages. Dreamweaver, while good for creating web-pages, is awful expensive for what it is offering. I have only used Dreamweaver briefly for making web-pages, before not being able to figure it out. Notepad would be quite the hassle if you don't know a single thing about coding.

If you are well-experienced with coding, then I would suggest a program such as Notepad++. (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) It is free, and it is optimized for coding, which would provide you with better results over Notepad.

A variety of pros are doing work in landscaping but the issue is that they charge you a packet and not even speaking that it could take days and days before the function gets more than and at the end , there is a likelihood of having to pay a small fortune for anything that you are not currently being fully content.

if you know commands well then only go for notepad for single page application,
if dont then switch to sublime for syntax highlighting.
both are light weighted

Notepad:
disadvantage:
need to set standard encoding
you need to save file with extension
not supported for syntax highlighting
2 space are not properly set , where its very important.
for complex and bigger code it doesn't allow to group them,

Alternative
:sublime(not free)
or Notepad++(free)
or dreamWeaver (nt free)
conText(free)

Notepad is free while Dreamweaver is not. Notepad needs you to code your website manually from scratch without any given pre-determine functions and layout view. Thus, this would be difficult for you if you are not really familiar with HTML, CSS and PHP.

if you are a beginner I suggest you to work on "NOTEPAD" .Every time you need to write down all the code that will help you to remember the code.whenever you have command on code you must switch to dreamweaver or any ottehr developmnet tool.

Given those two options and nothing else, I'd far rather use Notepad (or rather Metapad, which is a free alternative to notepad with other features).

I've tried dreamweaver briefly, quite a few years ago, and being used to designing and defining my own site structures did not get on with it at all. I want to work how I want, not how some other programmer thinks I ought to...

Notepad (and alternatives) vs Dreamweaver:
Advantages - you get what you write, no hassle. It's free!
Disadvantages - None I know of.

I have since started using another program, which I do like, called Webuilder.

The editor is straightforward but includes highlighting for multiple web file formats, plus it can manage multiple projects and directly upload files to the web host via FTP as well as saving them locally.
It's a lot quicker for 'live' site work that if you keep having to swap to an external FTP program to do uploads.

It also works with a local install of PHP to do real-time php syntax checking.

It's not free, but having had a quick look for present Dreamweaver prices, it appears webuilder is something under 1/10th the cost..
