There are actually two different types of HTML editors available to use. These two are WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) and text editors. These types are easy to use and are good for beginners. They are also good because you can get a web page up quickly. The one good thing about these types of programs, and this is good for beginners, is no HTML knowledge is necessary since the software does the coding automatically. There are the top WYSIWYG editors out there today:
· FrontPage: Most everyone knows FrontPage. It is expensive ($199). But this is for the full version. This is no doubt the most popular web design software on the market. It can do so much with so little effort. You can create web pages on the fly, and even include code such as XML and JavaScript. No matter what your level of knowledge or experience is (unless you are a full-fledge web developer), you’ll be able to use this program with ease.
· Adobe GoLive: GoLive is a very powerful and professional web design software package that integrates Photoshop and Illustrator. Not only this, but it also provides the best editing software and supports features such as XML, JavaScript, CSS, database, and more. It’s pretty expensive though - $449.
· Macromedia Dreamweaver: This is also one of the most famous and popular web design software programs out there. It offers all the power and flexibility you want from a suite to create fantastic web page. You get the same type of support as you would in Adobe GoLive, except it’s cheaper by a few dollars - $416.
· NetObjects Fusion: Fusion is a very powerful HTML editor. Whatever you want to do in web page creation you can do it with NetObjects Fusion. Plus the program has many extra features including hit counters, scripting support, CSS support, database support, and more. Not bad for $195.00.
