In summary, there are many options for HTML editors, including both WYSIWYG and non-WYSIWYG editors. Some popular ones include KompoZer, Notepad++, EditPlus, and Namo 2006. It is important to avoid using FrontPage as its HTML is not standard and may not work well outside of Internet Explorer. It is recommended to do some research and possibly try out demos before choosing an HTML editor.

This website has plenty of WYSIWYG editors:

KompoZer is pretty decent if you don't have access to Dreamweaver.


If you are looking for a non-WYSIWYG editor, check out Notepad++ (also in above link). I keep a copy on a jump drive so I can use it anywhere when I am in a pinch.

I've used KompoZer, which is Wysiwyg, but has many bugs, so I gave up.

Don't use FrontPage, it's html isn't standard and works bad outside Internet Explorer.

I use Namo 2006 (=v7), it's affordable and good. v6 was bugged, avoid it. v4 was good and fast (but older now). I didn't use v5, said to be bugged but v5.5 was said to be good.
