I'm C/C++, Java developer and now in order to put some variety into my work, I decided to start playing with web development - i'm using django. However, I'm hopeless with graphics and advanced css. I would like to build and ship some apps with elegant and simple design. Are there any frameworks/templates which let me build something great looking without photoshop skills?
I'm looking for something useful like: http://960.gs.
Tacit CSS framework would be very in-line with what you're searching:

You include the library on your HTML pages and it will give the page a tidy and modern look by default, without the need to define classes to HTML elements or do any CSS code.
Here is an example of my personal page. Only CSS work I had to do was the inclusion of Tacit, and the page gets that look, working both on Desktop and on Mobile.

Here you can find a nice comparison about responsive frameworks. In my personal experience, I've worked with Twitter Bootstrap on several projects and like it. Since I've used the other frameworks so extensively I cannot (or should not) say it's the best, but at least it fits my requirements and I find pleasing to work with it.
There's a lot of projects integrating these UI frameworks with web frameworks like Django or Rails.
With a simple web search you'll find a lot of themes (free and paid ones), pick what best fits your needs.

I am looking for some online editor which provides drag and drop features to build the HTML code for text boxes, buttons, radio, tables etc.
Please help me is there is any website available for this like a Dream viewer?
What you are looking for is Bootstrap Studio, this is the description from their home page :
It comes with a large number of built-in components, which you can
drag and drop to assemble responsive web pages. The app is built on
top of the hugely popular Bootstrap framework, and exports clean and
semantic HTML.
I don't think there is any services that supports what you want (from what I've guessed when you say "drag and drop features"). Most of these online IDE sites that supports these features tries to sell you their services by publishing and broadcasting the entire webpage for you. Most online HTML IDE are only code based.
Regardless, I still strongly recommend Adobe Dreamweaver. It's quite versitile with drag and drop features to a certain margin. It also requires coding but its template is quite straight forward, code-wise, and visually appealing.
If you still want to give it a try, however, there is a life hack. This article may help you. You can try building the webpage on wix and then exporting HTML.

Is there any kind of decent program for html/css that lets you build a website visually? I'm thinking something more along the lines of adobe illustrator or google docs, that lets you put content onto a page and drag things to where you need them to be, but spits out html code when you're done. Something like google web designer but more flushed out and functional, as it's still in beta and has a long way to go. Also, what are these kinds of programs called? (originally thought they where WYSIWYGs )
Try wordpress, easiest way to achieve what you've said, then you can drag and drop and design the website like you said. WYSIWYG changes textarea to a text editor, Tinymce is one of them, not what you want. What you want is called Content Management System(CMS), wordpress is one of them, you can see a list of CMSs in the article.
A far more economical drag-and-drop HTML builder tool is Bootstrap Studio.
This is naturally linked to the Bootstrap library and jQuery. But you can just use it to get a flavour of what you want to design.
Then write your own html/css/js code for the final site.
In fact you can use Bootstrap Studio to build a non-Bootstrap site and make use of its features like designing for different device screen widths.

I am currently looking for a web development IDE that highlights the syntax of html and more important, indents the html-code correctly. I have tried Dreamweaver but it doesn't seem to have a feature for auto-indenting html-code while you're typing. I also have tried NotePad++ and Aptana 3.0 but no luck with both.
So I was wondering if anyone knows a web development IDE that meets my needs.
Thank you in advance.
I'm using an IntelliJ IDEA (I'm java web developer). IDEA makes high-quality formatting code in any language, including in an HTML.
Eclipse is a very very good editor. For indenting u can try ctrl+shift+f key combinations.
Also you can use Aptana Studio. It is free as well as a very good editor.
Koding is a browser-based IDE, and the editor text editor (Ace) was originally developed for Web Languages (HTML/JS/CSS) so it supports them quite well.
Again though, this is browser based, so if you're looking for a local-only tool this may not be of help. :)
I'd suggest VS Code. Because...
It's dev by Microsoft
Very good suggestions and autocomplete feature
Code folding feature. It will be extremely useful when coding for big websites
Interactive layout and amazing color themes
Live server plug in support which us good for checking the output live .
However, At the end any IDE you'd b using it will help very much so go with something suggested by the instructor during the course. It will be lot ore easy to use!!

I'm a system programming geek. My drawing and design skills are very limited and I barely know how to use Photoshop.
Currently, web development software only offers separate options for coders (non-visual) and designers (visual). But I'm trying to find a WYSIWYG (visual) website design piece of software optimized for engineers, rather than artists.
Something like drag & drop building blocks, select various layouts, options. Add graphics.
Don't get me wrong - it must not be a primitive template-based editor - I'm looking for advanced solution, so I can make a professional website.
I dont think you will find a "golden bullet" here.
That being said I consider myself in a similar vein. I'm a pretty competent front end developer with minimal design skills. Although kind of template based, Artisteer is worth a look. I use it to get me started then I tweak from there. Being an ASP.net guy Visual Studio is my normal poison for tweaking. Visual Studio Express is a free version. Though Dreamweaver etc would also work.
If you are getting serious about this, you make sure you have the basics of HTML and CSS covered so you know what you are doing when you are tweaking templates.
you best option is what most of us nerds do and thats hire a designer, or go to something like template monster thing is with design, it is a creative mind... when it comes to programming it is logical mind. Fair enough there are a few good designers out there that can make a website, code etc but to what level. I just right code, its what i am good at, my pal brian creates designes for me.... because thats what he is good at.
:-)

I have been developing in ASP.NET and c#, actionscript flash/flex cs3, and the iPhone. I have a little all around knowledge of everything including html, css, and jQuery.
Usually I write applications, and now I want to build a commercial website with videos and testimonials and automailing. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I love the ease of use for building simple personal websites. I want something similar but more powerful. I have found Dreamweaver a little difficult on the design side ( I have not tried CS4 yet).
I do not want to use joomla or drupal because they are to difficult for me to customize.
What website builder do you think is easiest and best to build professional websites and what productivity/design features do you like best about it?
Thanks for your time.
If you're using ASP.NET, you may want to consider Sitefinity CMS. If you know your way around Visual Studio, you can create some pretty awesome sites with content management system functionality built in. The vendor offers a free community edition too. There are several built in templates, or you can build your own with a little use of Master pages and Photoshop.
An no the above is not a shameless plug :) I have used the product for about 4 years for many sites.
You can create any custom functionality you want for the site via UserControls or more advanced Modules.
I've used Dreamweaver for about 10 years and I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're working on static sites.
I'm using uCoz for about 3 years, and I find it as the most developed free website builder to create websites, when you want to use html, css, and jQuery. This after using both other CMS systems like Joomla, Drupal and Free Website builders like Webs and Weebly. It's simple to customize, being almost open source (although linked to the hosting), but yet, it's powered by a CMS with 22 Modules.
It gives a lot of flexibility, its 250+ templates can be customized (using CSS/HTML). You can also use PHP (although some functions are limited).
