The products page on this site lists software that you may find useful in making web pages.
When you have a rather large site it becomes very difficult to deal with all the administrative tasks involved. Dating, Spell Checking, Searching and Replacing are not too difficult when one has a few pages, but with a larger site, it becomes, well dare I say it, 'A nightmare!'
I actually try a lot of software and I usually get fed up with it. The following have been used for some time and I use them regularly. They don't get up my nose too much!
I have used the following:
Most of the time I use jsEditor which, while it does not claim to be an HTML editor, it can do most of the things you might wish to do in HTML (Although unless you are doing something special, you might prefer a WYSIWYG editor for writing text, etc in HTML and reserve the jsEditor for writing JavaScript.)
Microsoft Front Page. I hate to say it, but this is indispensable for some tasks.
Marcus Monnig's 1-4 All HTML Editor which shows the current directory files and has a search and replace in files, code hints, etc! It's shareware and very cost effective! Where Front Page falls down, 1-4 All takes up the challenge. And vice versa. The two complement each other perfectly.
Mike Funduc's Search and Replace Shareware and a very powerful search and replace. One day, I'll learn how to use all of its features.
Lotus 123 - It's amazing how helpful this is when dealing with great amounts of data! So easy to forget what a useful tool this is.
The above software is extremely useful and recommended!

 Web by Design: The
Complete Guide by Molly E. Holzschlag This book is about web design. It contains a lot of HTML code, but it is really about bringing together all the factors needed to design web pages. It deals with layout, language, type, and the colour pages are a useful help in using colour combinations to create certain effects. It goes beyond the mechanics to deal with the overall process of designing web pages for a purpose.
