Web design & hosting: Your Favorite Web Editor??
Your Favorite Web Editor??
by dick08 - 3/8/04 9:49 AMHey all, I'm getting ready to jump into the wonderful world of web design, and I was just wondering what everyone uses?? I'm not HTML proficient.....YET, but will want to use it as I go because I understand it will help in having a more solid site. So I'm boggled as to which editor/builder to get. So maybe if I knew what everyone here was using (and possibly "why") it could help me narrow my search!!! Please!!

Per subject, I use Mozilla's Composer without much ado and then NOTEPAD when I have to really see what's up.
As to others, read http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6616-0.html?forumID=37&threadID=12440&start=0 and then visit http://www.w3c.org to find tools and tutorials.

Hey..
Don't know if you are still looking for a good web editing tool.. By far the best (I have used it for years) is AolPress. It is WYSIWYG.. and very, very easy to use.. now here is the best part..it is FREE. It is hard to find the setup file on the Internet though since AOL no longer supports the program BUT..
Don't worry little camper you can download it from the link below and get a users manual to boot:

good luck!!

Agree with Mr. Proffitt
by radean - 3/8/04 11:47 AM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08I like Notepad, since there are no limitations. But Composer will get you up and running quickly.

by michael1s - 3/15/04 6:15 AM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08I use Front Page because you can see it 'wysiwyg'and you can type in 'HTML' if you wish, multi platform and I have 2 sites running. http://www.parentspower.org and http://members.lycos.co.uk/scoutlinkleader/
I hope this is of some help to you.

you have a bunch of broken image links on your site.
I've been a long time user of Composer. I actually prefered the 4.7x versions but I am now using it sometimes with Netscape 7.1 and sometimes with Mozilla. I will sometimes use IBM NetObjects Top Page but Composer is simpler and what I usually reach for.

by dfolske - 3/15/04 7:34 AM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08I've used notepad, html writer, netscape composer, coffee cup, and aol press. I am now using frontpage 2002. I like the way it easily tabs from wysiwyg to html to preview. I still get frustrated occasionally, but generally like it better than anything else I've used. It does help to have a working knowledge of html. I currently use it for 4 different websites.

by caller41 - 3/15/04 7:41 AM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08Hello my favorite HTML editor is a freeware editor called 1st page2000. Their hompage is: www.eversoft.com
On the upside this web editor has a WYSIWYG editor
with an extensive HTML and CSS tutorial that can't
be beat best of all it's a freeware program.
Now the only downside is that you need a unzip program
to install it on your computer. Check this sites download page. I used winzip 9.0.
Hope this helps my friend

V4 doesn't have help files, you can buy a pro version with help files but it's not sold by the author of WebCoder.

by StanfordCC - 3/22/04 11:12 AM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08I've beem using Visicom Media's AceHTML 5.0. Allows XHTML coding without changing the tags, has preview features, code validator, etc.
Re:Your Favorite Web Editor??
by Jezter~ - 3/22/04 7:40 PM In reply to: Your Favorite Web Editor?? by dick08Expensive, but the best editor is Dreamweaver from Macromedia - current version is Dreamweaver MX 2004 v 7.0.1
You can use code only, code and design view or design view only (WYSIWYG). A very powerful editor with enormous help files (in program and online), plenty of tutorials (eg. why not to use WYSIWYG!) and a very helpful and active support/news site.
To save any FP protagonists posting rebuttals 
, the latest version of FrontPage is not bad (and a lot cheaper) but doesn't cut the mustard compared to DW.
Other editors mentioned: AceHTML (from visicommedia) and 1stPage (from evrsoft) are pretty good learning tools, as are CuteHTML (from Globalscape), Arachnophilia (a Java built editor from arachnoid.com) and my favourite, NoteTabPro (from fookes.com).
Whichever editor you choose; as you learn about HTML then CSS (1 & 2), JavaScript etc. (try HTMLgoodies.com as a source of information whilst learning) and get better at building web sites, you will gravitate towards Dreamweaver as the ultimate editor out there.
As an aside, when you have learnt enough HTML to realise that using CSS is almost an essential, you will need a good CSS editor too (Dreamweaver has CSS editing within it, but it still needs "help" at times :)), then try TopStyle (or buy TopStyle Pro) from bradsoft.com - whichever way you go, good luck with your endeavours.
