Nvu

Nvu is the best free WYSIWYG HTML editor ever created.

It got its start from the Mozilla Composer codebase. The original plan for the World Wide Web was for it to be used much more interactively, and early browsers such as Netscape had HTML editors built-in. Netscape morphed into Mozilla, and the full Mozilla suite still has an integrated HTML editor.

Daniel Glazman was the architect of Mozilla Composer and became the lead developer of Nvu. Nvu has matured into an excellent, fully developed web authoring system that rivals Dreamweaver or FrontPage in many respects. Many people will prefer Nvu because it is not bogged down with feature-bloat, and runs much more efficiently than either of the commercial applications.

Nvu is extremely easy to use for the non-technical user. If your needs are simple, you can build and maintain sites using no other tool than Nvu.

More advanced developers will take advantage of the four different views available: Normal (WYSIWYG mode), HTML Tags (Tags are outlined and represented by icons), Source, and Preview. Source allows you to edit the code directly with color-coded syntax.

In addition to HTML authoring, Nvu also has a built-in CSS editor and site manager. Other features include template support, table wizards, and even a table of contents generator. It's integrated ftp client allows you to upload your site to your server using the site manager.
