Hiya again BMAFM,
Both the sites in my signature were created entirely with Coffeecup software. I use HTML Editor for my main building, the Form Builder for all my forms (on my shop site pages you'll see forms for not only my newsletter, but also many of my products have a form built on them that allow people to alert me that they want to know when something is restocked), the Color Schemer has been my best friend from the day I purchased it a couple years ago or so. I recieved a complimentary version of it a bunch of years ago for putting links on my site at that time, and decided a couple years ago to upgrade that to the paid version (complimentary versions don't include updates so it was getting pretty old hehe).
DirectFTP has been my main FTP program now for about 4 months or so since I purchased the whole package of CC products. Web Access Manager is used on my personal site for protecting some folders that I am sharing with friends. Although my personal site is starting over after a long time of using Joomla CMS and changing it to HTML, I used the Photo Gallery for quite a while for many galleries that were on my site for family and friends photos etc.
I of course use Shopping Cart Creator and Designer Pro for my shop which is completely done with CC Software, also in my signature. My Home, Newletter, Contact Us and About Us pages of my shop are done using HTML Editor, and the rest of the pages are created with the Cart Creator.
I'm sure I am probably forgetting a couple things that I use, but that's the main selection of programs I use on a regular basis from Coffee Cup.
Hope that helps, and if it's worth anything to mention it, CC software is very good. Yes I am the first to admit that many are quite out of date, and a few of them aren't very useful or are a bit too buggy at best, but they are working on them and will hopefully get some new versions of the older stuff out at some point. But my honest opinion is that the high rate of usefulness of the main programs by CC far outweigh the cons of the few that aren't so hot at the moment.
So far every program I mentioned above that I use is very well done, and if not fully complete they have many updates to see that they will be, such as the Shopping Cart Creator which will be coming out with a Pro version soon to help those of use that need more functionality in their shops.
I can tell you one thing for 100% sure. There is very little in Dreamweaver that you won't find in CC HTML Editor. I used Dreamweaver MX for many many years and I only miss a couple features and never miss them enough to spend that kind of money again. You see there is also one very very very great thing about Coffee Cup Software.....
Not only does it function great, work as well as any of those higher priced softwares do, is way way way cheaper than the average high priced softwares, but it's a one time fee! That right there saves you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in yearly update fees for all the programs you use outside of Coffee Cup.
Having said all that, I've no clue what freebies you're talking about lol. The main thing you get FREE is Upgrades for Life!! Other than that they do throw in a few things every once in a while, and have awesome sales like right now on the HTML Editor and Themes (not sure if these are still running the sales or not though).
Hope that helps you to see what I see in Coffee Cup, and good luck on your decision
), I finally decided on this great program.
