I find it rather tedious to design web forms in HTML code manually. Is
there a good tool for this job?

Yes, there are a few decent WYSIWYG editors and some text editors too,
which display text in various colors to differentiat various things.
In the "old" days I used NVU to make websites; quite capable, free, and
functional.

Netobjects Fusion 12 or later is an excellent wysiwyg web site
generator. It include a LOT of features, is not free, and is fully
capable of handling fairly large web site (couple hundred pages).
Auto-menues, galleries, pretty much all you could want, and works with
many 3rd party apps.
Ive written a total of 4 sites, 8 over the years, with it.
As I mentioned, it's a "Generator" of code, allows for PHP et al,
and is database formatted, though you don't need to use that to enjoy
its uses.
See:
http://netobjects.com/
Then there are text editors like Notepad++ and NoteTAB Pro, both
excellent text editors.
NoteTab comes with libraries for a lot of apps, and lets you create
your own should you want to, with ease. NotePad++ is probably a little
better IMO at text coloring but NoteTab is more intuitive, predictive
and handy when all of its features are considered.
Either would make a good editor. And both allow you to send files to
your local server if you have one setup.
Is that anywhere near what you were asking?
I can't comment of vb code or vb.net but vb.net is VERY capable but I
couldn't afford the subscriptions and eventually opted for Fusion 12. I
have'nt looked at Fusion 13 yet but its main claim to fame seems to be
writing HTML 5 code. As I always do I'll wait for another rev to come
out so the initial bugs get fixed before I contemplate purchasing it.
HTH,
