Cheap easy web editor??????
 
Hi y`all
I`m looking for cheap easy to use web page building software. Nothing to fancy, just enough to get a page up and running. Any recomendations would be great.

If you use geocities for your hosting, yahoo page builder is ok, free but a bit lacking in features.

otherwise, dreamweaver is the best you can do, and you can download a 30 day free trial from their website.

This should be long enough for you to use it to get your site up and running ;)

If you use Mozilla, it comes with a good editor called Composer.

According to the "experts" I've spoken to, one is supplied free with all Windows Software. It's called Notepad. :shocked:

Only problem with that is you need to really know what you are doing with html and other such code, and it's hardly WISIWIG. Me, I use Frontpage, cos that came bundled with our office's server OS.

Is that the same as the 'Composer' that comes with Netscape browser?
It not too bad especially for a free web page editor.
FrontPage is the best I've found but unfortunatly it's not free.

Make sure that your webspace is compatible with it. Sometimes you need "frontpage extensions" on the webspace to be able to get frontpage to upload / download.

Yes ditto here.I've got version three at present.However after trying out the demo of Version 5.5 I've ordered it from Amazon(through the link here of course ;) ).

Incog.

Version 3? LOL, mine's even older than that! Currently using v2.03 :blush:

*checks Amazon*

Oooh, only £59.99. V nice (& three hundred quid cheaper than Dreamweaver! lol) :)

Have you used Frontpage at all? If so how would you compare it to the one you use?
Personally I like the WYSIWYG interface of FP, but if your software has the same then it might be useful too.

No I've not used FP.
However I just found Namo easy to use.It's very intuitive to use as well.

Why don't you try Namo?There is a free trial at the moment. ;)

What I like about the new version is that you can adjust your image sizings in the editor instead of having to swap back and forth with another graphics package.As my site is about images this is very useful.

Whatever happened top Frontpage Express that was free?

Matuka 25-03-2004 13:12

Re: Cheap easy web editor??????
 
Oh I see, it was 98 only and has been stopped due to incompatability with 2K & XP.

I started using Namo 4 quite a while ago and am now on version 5. This does much (maybe even everything) that Dreamweaver does but at fraction of the price. I bought the Namo upgrade to bring it to version 5.5 but I think it doesn't really add very much to version 5. I haven't bothered to install the upgrade since my last disk format and reinstallation of software.

Namo can be relied upon to write code that makes pages look the same in all browsers.

I was about to download Yahoo Builder until I saw a note that said :-

Please Note: To publish your Yahoo! SiteBuilder site, you need a Yahoo! Web Hosting Starter, Standard, or Professional account. Sign up now for an account.

Can anyone verify this or let me know if pages built with this could be loaded to my ntl webspace ?

Thanks. :confused:

I recently bought Namo WebEditor 5.5(I had version 3 before that) for £60 and have just been given a free upgrade to WebEditor 6.I rather like the new version.;) I'm now revamping my site.

Incog.
