Just wondering if there are any free web design programs out there similar to Dreamweaver.

For Photos there's GIMP
3D Animation Design there's Blender

I had a look around and have not seen anything.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Downloading it right now.
Be nice to see a more updated program seeing how this was released back in 2005
Will work for the mean time until I get a hold of my work copy of Macromedia.
More so just trying to find a program the is OpenSource.

Download KompoZer. Its the successor to NVU, maintained by the Open Source Community. I'm running Leopard and it works fine. Here's the link...
