Default Suggestions Please

I have used up my 30-day trail of Dreamweaver, and although I loved it, I'm hesitant to spend that kind of money. Can anyone suggest another program/software for site building that I could look into? So far I've only tried PageBreeze (which I don't LOVE) and Dreamweaver (which is too pricey). Thanks for your suggestions!

Aptana

It's called Aptana and it's free. If you don't like that one, there's a couple more on this page Web design on a budget. Six free alternatives to Dreamweaver. which I haven't used. I've used Aptana in the past and I like it a lot, though nothing beats Dreamweaver.

A simple tip: When looking for alternatives to retail software, google "free software alternatives" where software is the name of the software you want to replace, this instance it would be Dreamweaver.

I use XSitePro web design software for my main websites. You can read my review here (there are affiliate links on that page, just an FYI). It's a one time fee of $197.

Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna try Aptana next. Then onto XSitePro. I know nothing beats Dreamweaver, but it's kinda more than I need...and more than I wanna spend. Thanks for the google tip as well. I'll have to try it!
