For intermediate needs: User-friendly Web editors
If you’re an experienced Web surfer and eager to try out a simple Web editor, try a program that lets you focus on your site’s HTML and textual content, provides you with plenty of functionality, and is still easy to use. Here are some user-friendly programs that are inexpensive (or, better yet, free), yet allow you to create a functional Web site.
The following programs don’t include some of the bells and whistles you need to create complex, interactive forms, format a page using frames, or access a database of information from one of your Web pages. These goodies are served up by Web page editors that have a higher level of functionality, which I describe in the upcoming section for advanced commerce sites.
BBEdit
If you work on a Macintosh and you’re primarily concerned with textual content, BBEdit is one of the best choices you can make for a Web page tool. It lives up to its motto: “It doesn’t suck.” BBEdit is tailored to use the Mac’s highly visual interface, and version 8 will run on the Mac OS 10.3.5 or later. You can use Macintosh drag and drop to add an image file to a Web page in progress by dragging the image’s icon into the main BBEdit window, for example. Find out more about BBEdit at the Bare Bones Software, Inc. Web site (www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.html). Other good choices of Web editors for the Macintosh are Taco HTML Edit by Taco Software (www.tacosw.com) or PageSpinner by Optima System (www.optima-system.com).
