There are many HTML editors to choose from. Some of them are free while others cost varying amounts. As I mentioned earlier it is best to learn the basics of HTML.

Often the automated editors will develop a glitch on a page and without knowledge of how the code is written it is difficult to correct such bugs.

Take the time to learn HTML. You won't be sorry and it will give you better control of your design.

Why You Should Learn HTML

Text editors

Web Development and Design Techniques

HTML editors

Beginning web designers will find that there are several HTML editors available that automate many of the tasks required to write webpages. These WYSIWYG (i.e. what you see is what you get) editors do the HTML coding in the background all you see is the resulting browser page as it would apper on the web.

Before you start using one of these editors I strongly recommed that you learn basic HTML. None of them are perfect and you will need to troubleshoot your pages once in awhile. Without some knowledge of HTML you will be lost.

But, with these you can build your website without any knowledge of HTML at all. Here are a few;

FrontPage - A Microsoft program written for windows that is widely used. Most web host support Front Page which makes it easier to upload and manage your site online.

Adobe GoLive - Originally written for the Mac. This is what I built this website with and am very pleased with it.

Dreamweaver - Another very popular web authoring tool. Simple to use and spectacular in its animation capabilities.
