Hi knighty, welcome to the forums.

Hand coding gives you great control over your pages. Some people use hand coding, others use WYSIWYG's. I think the trick is to be able to hand code because in my experience you will almost always have to go back in and fix something by hand coding eventually, even if you are using a WYSIWYG.

I prefer hand coding, have used Homesite as well. Our Web group hand codes in notepad. Some WYSIWYG's add excess tags in the code, this can add to the size of your page or cause problems when trying to edit.

As long as you are comfortable with your editing tool and know it well enough to tweak your code as needed you should be fine.
