design: illustrator, photoshop, fireworks (slicing etc. fast stuff)
code: dreamweaver
CMS: i build customs for most of my clients and use "customized" wordpress myself.
 
wow what lol

it'd take like..5 minutes to make these instead of buying them off an ebook site

He was asking for themes, so I linked him to some.

Also, I guarantee it would take more than 5 minutes and I'd much rather shell out a measly $27 than sit down for 3 hours and develop those templates from scratch, especially considering I'm not a designer.

I get an extremely decent ctr with adsense on my niche sites with those templates, so I'm not complaining.
 
I use Gimp and Inkscape for graphics (and currently getting into Blender).

Wordpress for most of my sites, and I code "unique" sites from scratch (those that can't really be done w/ any existing CMS, or are too simple for a CMS). I also have some of my own code, partial-CMSes, that I use for some sites.

I've lately been trying to learn Drupal. It seems easy enough, but I think I need to find a bunch of plugins and stuff, because the default installation is pretty useless.

For basic 2-3 page sites I usually stick to coding the pages raw.. CSS/JS/PHP if needed
 
Design: .Psd .ill
RichMedia: flash/director/premiere/cubase
CMS: WP or Custom solutions <<Growing to HATE customs
Layout/Static sites/maintenance: DreamWeaver <<'God' for all in one solutions/multi-site management...
 
BlueBuddah "I use Gimp and Inkscape for graphics" - I'm just learning Inkscape because it looks good for floor plans and "How to build it" stuff. Do you have a favorite tutorial or two ? Thanks.

Oh Yeah - I use Wordpress and occasionally Kompozer/NVU for really small sites.
 
Wordpress for CMS. I've been able to customize Wordpress to do whatever I want it to do, and I've never had any problems. For landing pages I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver, however I have been developing a customizable Wordpress template for quicker LP affiliate campaign uses.
 
Wordpress for CMS because it has what seems to be an endless amount of high quality themes. Drupal is amazing as far as function and usability, but it is somewhat lacking in the free eye candy department.
 
Expression Engine is my #1 choice, it costs money but the code is heaven. No spaghetti there. Version 2 which is coming out any moment now will be built on my favorite PHP framework CodeIgniter (they built the framework too). That framework is lightweight (no bloat), very flexible, has a great community, and is very fast & easy to learn thanks to the excellent documentation.

For small projects Wordpress is fine, for the big ones I'd definitely recommend Expression Engine built on the Code Igniter Framework.
