PRODUCT REVIEWS

Hi Warriors,

I'm doing all my work on my 1 year old MacBook OSX 10.5.8

I'm about to jump into HTML editing of some sales pages/landing pages/thank you pages for some products I'm about to promote and I'm wondering what HTML Editor you all would recommend to a novice at using an HTML editor.

Is Taco the way to go for my MacBook and me?

Thanks

Meg

I haven't tried taco, but textmate has been great for me -- TextMate
Coda is quite popular too -- Panic - Coda - One-Window Web Development for Mac OS X. But is more expensive. I suggest you download the trial versions first and see which one will be easiest for you to use. It mostly comes down to personal preference, once I get the hang of an editor I rarely shift to a new one.

  The best free editor for Mac in my opinion is TextWrangler. It's a very simple software, so if you prefer minimalistic tools, I'd definitely recommend this.

I just use Kompozer. It's great and it's free. Perfect for editing HTML templates like sales pages or squeeze pages.

  Thanks Kerrie for the Espresso tip. I will check it out. I've looked at a couple so far and Dreamweaver looks good but pricey! You all are great!

NVU is an excellent free program that I find very easy to use. It reminds me of FrontPage.

Not sure if Notepad++ is supported...
Else, go with Coda, great tool!

Thanks so much but I've downloaded Kompozer and so far I've figured it out.

What would you say the benefits of Coda would be over Kompozer?

Thanks
