I am looking to create a landing page with HTML.

I love dreamweaver but unfortunately my trial has expired and I don't want to buy it because its costly and I am not going to use it much.

Any free equivalent to DW for Windows?

  • Kompozer is an open source HMTL editor for Windows
    and you can get it for free from here:

    KompoZer - Easy web authoring (no affil.)

    I use Dreamweaver for my client sites but sometimes
    refer them on to Kompozer (formerly NVU) so that they
    can easily edit their own pages.

    Good luck.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

  • As above I would recommend either Kompozer or NVU they are both very similar and pretty straight forward to use
  • I have been using Coffee Cup, which is free for the basic version.

    But for my last site I went back to using Komposer, also free, and I found it to be very good.

    You can view and edit in WYSIWYG mode, or by source code, or by HTML tages, and in preview mode.

    It's all you need really.
  • I'm not a big fan of Kompozer. It will screw around with your code sometimes... especially if you ever do any php coding.

    The best thing to do is to get familiar with writing code so you can create your pages in a text program such as Notepad++ Home

    That's the best way to do it.

    • You must try Sublime text 2, Its not an IDE but it is very cool.
      Its somewhat like Notepad++ and Textpad
  • Check out Kompozer - it might be what you're looking for - its been ages since I've used Dreamweaver so not exactly sure of its features anymore...

    also for other open source /free software check out this all in one thread:

    good luck,

    • Try BlueGriffon (Newer version of Kompozer/Nvu). I use it to create my sites. It is a great alternative to Dreamweaver. It has plenty of add-ons.

      Sorry, I can't post link, my first post. Search Google, it's the one at the top.

  • Another text-based editor that I like to use and haven't seen mentioned yet is Notepad2.

    Cheers,

  • Aptana Studio is a good one, although it has quite a steep learning curve
  • It's been mentioned several of times, but I have to cast my vote for it too. If you don't need a WYSIWYG editor then try notepad++. It is simple and lightweight. Install it on you flash drive and you can take it with you anywhere! Combine that with a portable FTP program and you can edit sites on the go.
