HTML Editors?
 

Any suggestions for some good website editors? There are so many out there and I'm looking for some suggestions for some inexpensive options.

Thanks

I use EditPlus . The W3C has a (slightly out of date but humongous) list of editors.

Yikes! I was hoping for something far more simplier, thanks for the suggestion though.

Hmmm - define simple. Something like EditPlus or BBEdit is pretty much dirt simple.

I use Dreamweaver. It is pretty easy to do simple things, then gets complicated fast. I haven't gone there yet,

What sort of website to you want to maintain?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't want to edit raw HTML, you just want a WYSIWYG editor to whomp up simple websites, post pictures, etc. Right?

Have you looked at the Basic Netscape Composer tool?

Notepad?
:)

Front Page Express (included in Windows 98SE) is something I continue to copy over to subsequent computers and am still using on my Windows XP. Very simple interface for very simple websites.

And free.

Notepad plus plenty of Copy/Paste on Windows. Or HTML Kit if you cannot find the code you are looking for with View Source. BBEdit on the Mac.

But then you're just encouraging Bill Gates!

If you are looking for WYSIWIG, please, please stay away from Front Page, or converting any MS Office Document to HTML - Microsoft apps produce the World's Worst HTML (c).

Did you want Windows or Mac? Apple's new iLife suite contains a nice one called iWeb. The integration with the rest of iLife is very nice.

For Windows, Nvu is okay.

I don't know how I got sucked into this, but my wonderful daughter has volunteered my services to build and maintain her soccer team website.

I have no template to work from so I get to decide what to do, but the main purpose of the website is to have a calendar of practices and tournaments, plus later in the year post some pictures on it.

YES I want a WYSIWYG tool and something very easy to use as I would like to get my daughter to maintain the website.

I looked at Dream weaver and I might be interested in it at a later date, but right now I just need to get a website built ASAP.

iWeb comes with a bunch of good looking templates. It should only take a couple hours to customize one. Also, have you thought about using one of the blog sites like blogger? That's be much easier.

If you want to build an actual site, though, you won't find anything much easier than iWeb.

back seat, do you know where you will host the website? Often times a webhosting package will include basic website building tools.

I will be hosting it at 1and1.com on my existing account (use them for email already).

The tool they offer, Webbuilder, for me, seems to be quite difficult to work with over the internet as it is very slow.

My real concern though is having the ability to build the website on my machine so I can move it to another domain when it makes sense.
