HomeSite 5.0

Developers can create professional Web sites fast with the code editing features of Macromedia HomeSite 5. The software delivers advanced hand coding features, productivity-enhancing wizards, and a customizable user interface to efficiently build, deploy, and manage your entire Web site. Effortlessly validate, reuse, navigate, and format your code with integrated coding tools. The wizards quickly create pages, tables, frames, and JavaScript elements for you.

With XHTML support, based on the W3C specifications for XHTML 1.0, developers can build pages with the latest Web technologies. The extensibility of XHTML provides the flexibility to incorporate new Web communication and presentation ideas as they emerge. Developers can use the new Secondary Files tab to browse local and remote files simultaneously and to drag and drop files between the two Files tabs, efficiently incorporating documents and images.

The new Folder Deployment settings enable developers to determine the deployment method for individual folders and files within a project. These new settings make deployment much more accessible to the novice user while maintaining the sophistication of the feature for the high-end user.
