Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver can hide the HTML
code details of pages from the user, making it possible for non-coders
to create web pages and sites, it also lets users preview websites in
locally-installed web browsers. Dreamweaver has site management tools
such as FTP/SFTP and WebDAV file transfer with synchronization
features, the ability to find and replace lines of text or code by
search terms and regular expressions across the entire site, and a
templating feature that allows single-source update of shared code and
layout across entire sites without server-side includes or scripting. A
great bonus with Dreamweaver is the number of languages that is
offered, they vary from French, Chinese, German, Italian and Spanish.
Dreamweaver allows you to update your site and
check in modifications directly, end users can edit their web pages
without help from yourself or any additional software and integrate the
power of dynamic data into your web pages without the learning curve of
mastering databases or XML coding. With the photoshop smart objects you
make changes to the source image, and update your image in Dreamweaver
without opening Photoshop. Dreamweaver is limited in terms of text
styles and special effect and styling using CSS.
FrontPage
FrontPage has Split View option to allow the user to
code in Code View and preview in Design View without the hassle of
switching from the Design and Code View tabs for each review. It also
offers interactive buttons that gives users a new easy way to create
web graphics for navigation and links, taking away the need for a
complicated image editing package. The accessibility checker offered
with FrontPage gives the users the ability to check if their code is
standard compliant and that their web site is easily accessible for
people with disabilities. An HTML optimizer is included to aid in
optimizing code and to make it legible and quicker to process. For the
web size you can find limitations with FrontPage when the lengthy
process of updating the indices for these functions can end up to the
connection timing out.
KompoZer
KompoZer is a complete web authoring system that combines web file management
and easy-to-use WYSIWYG
web page editing capabilities found in Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe DreamWeaver
and other programs. It is designed to be extremely easy to use, making it ideal for
non technical computer users who want to create an attractive
professional looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding. It also has a new extended colorpicker that is more conformant to what most users are used to. With the css editor you can create stylesheets easily and manage the styles attached to your documents.
I have learned about so many great reviews and maybe
if I become more familiar with this web composer I could find it's
limitaions but for now I see and have read and used an easy, no
complaint system.
