Has anyone tried using a free HTML maker to do a rough layout? Something to get started with making a layout anyway? Are there any good free programs that let you rough something out pretty quick that you can tweak by hand later?

yahoo had one for a while. Not sure if they still do. A lot of people use Photoshop to setup the layout

If you're still using HTML for layout, you really should start looking into CSS. HTML is meant to tag content for structure, and CSS is meant to take care of how to display the structured content.

I found this layout tutorial not so long ago, which I really liked:
http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm

It didn't provide the CSS or HTML in the article though, which sucked. But I managed to find the actual code here. It's worth looking into, and could be used for a lot of different page layouts. Seems to be allot of interesting web page design articles on his pages altogether, so just look around to see if you find something you like.

Of course, this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I thought it was worth mentioning :)
PHP, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, XML, MySQL / Oracle
