Customer Review

I did not purchase this program; my boss has lent it to me to work on her websites. I should be thrilled to have the run of a very expensive piece of software, but I would honestly prefer using Notepad to this. It boasts ease and flexibility, yet I can't seem to even get tables to go where I want them, or delete indents that appear when I copy and paste text. Furthermore, I can't find a way to edit <head> tags directly, or even <body> HTML. I would like to implement a free stat program to monitor traffic over the site, but I'm not even sure if it's possible. The support site says that CS3 has a way to add HTML snippets, which gave me hope, although the code I'm using is Javascript. But nowhere do I see an article telling HOW exactly to do this. This program, like most WYSYWGS, is for those who don't know HTML. Even the laymen may be frustrated with its lack of simple solutions. It is definitely more a hassle than a help, as far as I'm concerned.
