Front Page like lean application

saurya_s · 09-19-2004, 06:37 PM

Hi all
I have to write sometimes in HTML. I used Frontpage on PC, what is the nearest to that or easier similar writing application for OS X. Not very exorbitant one, and any free one avaiable?
Thanks

If you want to pay then go for something like Dreamweaver.

However since you're asking for something free try the composer built-in to Mozilla. I'm surprised the Mozilla folks haven't started offering it as a stand-alone download yet.

If you're savvy enough to use Fink and X11 get this.

Yup, the standalone version s the now called Nvu- works on Linux, OS X and WIn. Just found it yesterday. I hated mozilla because of it slow speed but it has been a complete suit.

If you like html, PageSpinner (or BBEdit if you need Unicode) are very good friends.

However, since they have an incredible assortment of tools, and excellent support, they do cost. I've used PageSpinner for years, and hate to leave it, but I need Unicode, so the latest BBEdit, thanks to a birthday present from my mother (well out of my budget otherwise) is a great package. Just looking at its html palette makes me drool... <wipes her chin> Sorry.
