Hi warriors!

Have any of you used NVU to create landing page for your clients before?

I was just wondering if say a client wants a landing page ... by standards does it mean to be created by hardcoding html/css, or is it ok to use something like NVU via what you see is what you get.

What are your recommendations?

    NVU does both WYSIWYG and Hand Coding so it really shouldn't matter.

    Standards have nothing to do with the editor, but the code behind the scene.

    For most of my clients, the want Tableless HTML using CSS... If designed right, this means that it can be viewed on any device... As more people go mobile, they want to make sure the site can be seen on these devices....

    Some tags in HTML have been deprecated (meaning dropped) so if you want to "code" to standards, you can't use those tags....

    Things like the "Font" tag are gone.... You need to use CSS for this else your clients that want to have sites designed to current standards are not going to be happy if you are still using this old way of doing things...

    If you are new to CSS, I would recommend that you go have a look at w3schools.com They have free tutorilas AND some good online reference material you can access all for free.

    Hope that helps you out.

    Have a Great Day!

    I never like to use NVU, the fonts is not always WYSIWYG.

    If I were you Get Xsite Pro 2. I bought it and it really is worth the $197. It is easy to use. And the quality is superb.

      I've had to correct some pages done on NVU... it uses some unorthodox HTML... especially when it comes to tables.

      Richard posted some really good info above - I'd check it out... here's the direct link to CSS:
      CSS2 Reference

      My recommendation - although more expensive than some others - is Dreamweaver. It can be a very powerful editor that has everything you need as you grow in your coding/designing abilities.

      Also, CSS info on the web can be overwhelming - with Dreamweaver, it creates the CSS files for you and the attributes and you just point and clik on options.

      Like other editors, it's not without its own faults in terms of standard coding, but they keep getting MUCh better and better with each release.
