I agree with Keith. My boss prefers that I use HomeSite but Dreamweaver may
be your best solution. It has a feature that allows you to create something
(to see the front design) and view the code at the same time. My version of
Dreamweaver came with HomeSite anyway. You may want to look for that.

Subject: Re: FrontPage vs. HomeSite
If you know HTML and are accustomed to hand-coding, stick with HomeSite.
If you've mostly used WYSIWYG editors, FrontPage is ok, but tends to write
"creative" code.
FrontPage does make it easy to move and maintain links, but that's not
rocket science anyway.
I use both, although the HomeSite version I use is an old freeware
version. The current one is much more robust, and may have some link
management tools.
Also consider Dreamweaver - it writes clean code, handles links well, and
does a fair job at providing a WYSIWYG interface.
