There are many HTML editors out there. The choice depends upon
what you want to do with your website. Sure you can use Notepad
to code but why go through all of that heartache and pain with
looking up code, typing it in, testing in mulitple browsers, etc.
HTML editors take this work out of it and allow you to design
websites and applications much quicker. Some major benefits of using editors are:
- building quick prototypes
- auto-tag completion
- link testing & repair
- drag and drop common webpage elements
- built-in browser preview
- ability to create code libraries
- image resizing and editing
- website maintance
- built-in FTP
- AND lots more!
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver quite a bit now. Since I have gotten
in PHP somewhat and ASP a lot more now, I find that Dreamweaver
is a tremendous help.
For example using Dreamweaver I can do search and replace functions
instantly. This alone saves many hours of tedious work and resolves
possible errors that could and do occur when you do things manually.
If you are looking for something a bit less expensive than Dreamweaver,
I would recommend Allaire HomeSite. HomeSite is a pretty powerful
editor also. It costs about $99.00 (www.macromedia.com)
If you are looking for a free editor to "just get the job done"
then go to CNET.com. |
