You're faced with a decision, should you purchase the most
expensive software you can find, or.... download a freebie
off of the Web. How does the software stack up? Will it
do all that the creators say it will? Read on to discover
the humble, (or not so humble) opinion of the WDVL Reviewers ...
Matrix Y2k
|
Matrix Y2K 6.0 is a good program for people with varying degrees
of HTML ability. It offers enough automation to make many tasks
easy for less experienced users, and its speed is nice for more
veteran users.
|
|---|
HomeSite 5
|
HomeSite 5 is the latest version of Macromedia's HTML editor.
As a plain text HTML editor, it covers a good deal of ground.
|
Abstract Web Studio 4.0
|
It has a new name, but that isn't the only thing that enables
Abstract Web Studio 4.0 to provide users something different than
most HTML editors on the market. It also offers great features at
a ridiculously low price.
|

|
All in all, Sothink ranks among the better editors because of its
many features. It comes in two versions — Free and Standard.
|
Stone's WebWriter 3.5
|
Perhaps one of the most convenient HTML editors on the market
today is Stone's WebWriter 3.5, a product that pretty much
negates the need for many other auxiliary programs.
|
Page Builder 3.0c
|
Choice is perhaps the keyword to describing UK-based PageBuilder,
because it offers the user many choices in just about every facet
of Web building and HTML elements.
|

experience levels, and it does so in a unique manner.
|
PC Reviews: Araneae 4.51 & PowerHTML 2.0
|
In a day when bigger is frequently considered better, HTML
editors such as Araneae 4.51 and PowerHTML 2.0 may not receive
the credit they deserve. After all, who could possibly desire a
quick and efficient editor that doesn't cost anything?
|
DominHTML
|
DominHTML 5.5 provides a program that is easy to use, goes easy
on system resources, and with its many customizable features, is
a bargain.
|
HTMLBeauty
|
Max's HTML Beauty is reminiscent of Allaire's HomeSite, but seems
to be smaller and quicker. Whether that translates to better is
up to the individual user, but Max's is well worth trying.
|
NoteTab Pro
|
If you're comfortable with HTML, and don't want or need WYSIWYG,
then NoteTab Pro may be the HTML editor for you. Its many
features and clip libraries make it an excellent choice for
getting down and dirty.

the Web building business, from those with minimum experience to

program from Micro Resources that carries with it many attributes
normally associated with more expensive Web building programs.
|
PC Review: Webford 3.01
|
As much as many HTML programs resemble others, it isn't until you
start using them that they begin to separate themselves into the
good, the bad, and the ugly. Webford 3.01 deserves to be ranked
among the good, particularly for those wishing to avoid using
WYSIWIG programs but do not want to be overwhelmed with details
of HTML.
|

rate.

want to be HTMLers.

PC Review: Roundup
|
A look at a pair of programs: HTML Pro Shop 2.4 and Color Schemer
|
HTMLEditor
|
It is called The HTML Editor and because of its many good
features it might well become THE HTML Editor of choice for many
who construct Internet sites.
|
HTML Creator 2.5
|
HTML Creator 2.5 is a great program for those who like to have
full control over their coding but, at the same time, do not mind
getting enough help along the way to make the process much
easier.
|
BBEdit
|
It doesn't take long to realize that BBEdit 6.0 is obviously a
program that offers a wide variety of features designed to enable
users to spend time on productivity rather than seeing how this
particular wheel was invented.
|
Aspire-x
|
While many HTML editors aspire to be the weapon of choice for Web
builders, Aspire-x HTML Editor is going about it somewhat
differently. Many such editors are free — as this one is
— but unlike most, Aspire-x has an extremely small file
size despite having many, many options.
|
Top Dawg Review
|
There are many HTML programs that offer more frills than Top Dawg
HTML Editor, but its clean interface and no-nonsense approach to Web
building is worth barking about.
|
|
40tude HTML
|
Despite its moniker, Version 3.2 of 40tude is a decent HTML program
that offers some advantages and details that other editors lack.
|
Web-O-Rama
|
The name - Web-O-Rama - may sound like something seen on late night
but it is in fact an HTML program that is well thought out, and user
friendly. Get your copy now; it may not always be this inexpensive!
|
HTML Gate 2000
|
HTMLGate 2000 is a text editor for the intermediate to
expert user. Along

clipart... and it's free!

Not all foxes hang out in the henhouse - some can reside on your
computer. One in particular, Fox 2.0a HTML text editor, can slyly
become one of your most useful Web building tools.
|
Zoop
|
Zoop, an HTML editor, with a different look and feel, that works
better than most.
|
Review: AceHTML 4 Pro
|
While many HTML programs try to paint themselves as a do-all entry
into the Web building world, few really succeed. However, AceHTML
4 Pro is one of those programs that can help turn a blank page into
a masterpiece.

HTML Constellation 2.2.1 Review
|
With tables and frames being such an integral part of layout on the
internet, having an HTML editor that handles both with a few extras
included is a pretty good idea. For that reason alone, HTML
Constellation 2.2.1 is a program after the heart of anyone who has
ever struggled to get either frames or intricate tables to look the way
they want.
|
|

Arachnophilia Review
|
This review is the result of receiving several e-mails from people
shouting the virtues of an HTML program called Arachnophilia,
combined with my own curiosity about something named after the
world of spiders and Webs.

|
HomeSite/TopStyle
|
It isn't the new things about Allaire's latest version of HomeSite that
makes it a great choice for professional Web builders. The key to
version 4.5 is something its predecessors have offered a long time
- quality.
|
|
Dreamweaver 3
|
Macromedia's Dreamweaver series has earned its place as the
visual HTML editor that even code geeks aren't ashamed to use,
and rightfully so. In its third incarnation, Macromedia hopes to build
on Dreamweaver's past success, and to please both novices and
gurus alike.

Mainstay's JustEdit and JustEdit Pro
|
While most developers are familiar with the use of an FTP client, we've
all faced situations where we need to edit our site but just don't have
access to the software we need. Mainstay has come up with a way to
solve that problem with their JustEdit familiy of products.

Evrsoft's 1st Page 2000
|
Evrsoft's 1st Page 2000 (version 2.0) provides many features that even
the high-priced editors do not offer, and it has one major advantage --
it's free. Yes, that's right, no charge! While it may not be the very best
thing in life, it certainly rates high among html editors...
