Definitely by hand. WYSIWYG editors are great for a quick mockup, but in the long run you want precise control over what markup is used. Even with editing by hand, in less than a second you can load/reload the page in your browser to see what it looks like visually (and test the interaction with it)

Definitely by hand. In fact, I just wrote an article about Intype explaining how I started off as a visual coder and moved to hand coding. bit.ly editors are good for beginners to find their way, but I like the precise controls that hand coding gives. I just set up an apache server to see how it visually translates and use different browsers manually to recreate real life scenarios to troubleshoot code.

Hello everyone...happened to stumble upon this old but popular post ..
Think most pros would prefer code over WYSIWYG.
Writing by code means What You Want is What You Get!!! Better than WYSIWYG :-)
With my experience, I used to like WYSiWYG earlier but later on moved over to code for speed and more accurate control. This site on digital signature was designed completely by code.
Dreamweaver is the favourite editor....but I think Microsoft Expression Web is also decent.
Though their graphical features entice a novice web designer...the ease of writing code and hunting through the relevant part of the code is very important for pros.
I gues what makes most newbies dislike code is lack of knowledge of syntax and the trauma of debugging without a professional editor.

By hand,I really hate wysiwyg editors cos it will later be very difficult to edit the codes manually since some dont put comments to support future editing....

Firefox + Firebug is your WYSIWYG. It's actually faster to do it that way, and code in a text editor. Although you have to be more experienced to do that, it's much faster. There's no better WYSIWYG than your own browser!

I create all my websites manually. I can make complex designs (layout, forms, dynamic effects) simple using browser-side scripting (JavaScript) or server-side programming (PHP) or both. No way to do that in WYSIWYG.

I code by hand using Notepad++. Why? Well because I want my code to be valid and clean.

WYSIWYG is great when you want to make some tutorial or other easy and
rapid stuff but for a professional work is better code your site by
hand.

I think the program you guys are really thinking of is Adobe GoLive -
and, yes, that program laid down some horrific code. It's also dead, so
let's just leave it buried - and encourage folks to learn to code in
whatever works for them, as long as it's clean, shall we?

At the risk of starting a fight, I code by hand . . . In Dreamweaver. In fact, it was learning Dreamweaver that forced me to learn to code by hand - and I think that a lot of coding purists give DW an unfair rap, based on what the program was like back in the old days.

I work in the Split view, because I like to see what I'm doing as I go, and it's faster than uploading to a browser and refreshing every five minutes.
Also, it has some shortcuts that speed things up for an old lady like me (I'm 50.) It's got built-in FTP and site management, where if I change a file name, DW will then update all my links to that file automatically throughout a 100-plus-page site. It's got drag-and-drop internal linking and other things that don't really mess with the code, but that keep me from making too many typing errors. And, I don't think the world is going to end if it closes a tag for me once in a while. Do you?

I find that I code by hand and it does what I want (IE is an exception - it has it's own mind).
I code everything by hand in notepad 2 then save refresh in wampserver.
But dealing with a beginner or amature that swears by Dreamweaver or other wysiwyg editors is a nightmare.
I ahnd my night and neat code valid html and these stupid wysiwyg editors mess the code up, add useless tag and elements and ruin the valid code. I ask why they use the editors.....
Response is its easy and I dont have to do much..... So Im open pages across browsers and its all broken bar IE. So by hand it the pro way. Wysiwyg is for noobs.
