WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors are HTML editors that attempt to display the Web page as it will show on the browser. They are visual editors, and you don't manipulate the code directly. Some HTML WYSIWYG editors also include a text editor, while others are purely WYSIWYG. This is my list of the best HTML WYSIWYG editors for Macintosh.
11. Contribute
Contribute is a WYSIWYG editor for people who have no interest or need in learning HTML. It can connect directly to a blog to give you powerful editing features or to an existing website to manage the pages there. Contribute works best when working with a site created using Dreamweaver templates. Contribute also provides version control and authoring information that are not included in Dreamweaver.12. Web Studio 4.0 Deluxe
Web Studio 4.0 is trying to answer the challenge of Web design tools that tools like Word have provided. Namely, the idea that you should be able to build a Web page by simply dragging the images or multimedia elements that you want onto your document and then typing text around them. Web Studio 4.0 does a good job at this - by making the creation of a Web page easy to understand, by removing all direct access to it from the user. It works for small business owners who don't have time to learn HTML but need features like a PayPal storefront.13. Freeway Pro
Freeway Pro extends the Freeway Express Web page editor. For just a little more money, you get more features like CSS support, and support for different DTDs.14. eWebEditPro+XML
eWebEditPro+XML offers the same benefits as eWebEditPro only it's for XML editing rather than HTML or Web pages specifically. This is a browser-based XML editor that edits the XML files on the server. It isn't specifically for HTML, but can work with Web pages as well as XML.15. Freeway Express
Freeway Express is a great basic Web page editor for the Macintosh. It includes basic graphics editing and creation so that you only need one software package to create simple Web sites. One drawback is that you can only save your files as HTML 4, there is no support for any other DTD.16. Radio UserLand
Radio is a software package that connects you to the Radio UserLand weblog service. It's not really a standalone Web page editor, but if all you need or want is a blog, then this service is nice. It includes 40MB of space and a year of service on the Radio UserLand network. According to their documentation you can use Radio with any ISP hosting.17. Create
Create is an extensive graphics manipulation program that also acts as a Web page editor. It provides WYSIWYG functionality to make it easy to place objects and elements. But it's true strength is in the graphics manipulation features it has. You can create text and image objects and then manipulate them in many ways. It is quite fun to use. With version 14 it now offers CSS layout (rather than tables), but this is not turned on by default. This is a fine editor for kids and people who are new to Web design, but might get frustrating for designers who want more control over the content and less focus on the graphics.Do you have a Web editor that you absolutely love or positively hate? Write a review of your HTML editor and let others know which editor you think is the best.
