If you prefer coding all your sites yourself, but want better productivity than notepad offers, try looking at something like Homesite, I believe Macromedia own it now so it is probably very similar to Dreamweaver but without all the wysiwyg stuff.
I used to use notepad, but then i got hooked into Dreamweaver because it makes things a lot easier, but i always find myself in the code window instead of the drag & drop editor window
Edit - lol forgot to mention, the sites you've done are looking pretty good atm, keep at it
