Need Recommendation...

[chazdraves]

Okay, so my company's website just launched the other day, and I'm finding myself with a lot of work. I have three other people that I work with, but they're not too literate in HTML. I just use Notepad to do all my editing, but they tend to mess a few things up every time they go in to edit. I'm looking for a good, preferably free, HTML editor that I can have them all download. This way they can edit code without having to edit code, heh. Simply put, they can change text and news articles without disturbing the code which controls the website layout. Anyone have some suggestions? I considered CuteHTML, but I believe that's like $30, and I don't think it's worth it. Is FrontPage Express still free? Thanks!

What kinda company does HTML work without being able to afford an html editer? No offense.. But I used to use something by claris.. I think it's just called Claris Homepage.. But almost every package is available as a trial (dreamweaver, etc.).. Grab that for this project and then get your cheap ass boss to buy the full thing!

None taken. Here's the situation... I do all the actual "construction". I'm fluent enough to use Notepad and have no problems, but these people are Financial Analysts, PR People, and Consultants, they aren't familiar with it, but they also have little need to use it that often. I don't want to waste money buying a program that they're only going to use once or twice a day. They don't need a program with advanced features, I'll take care of that, I just want a simple program for them to be able to make basic changes with, something that acts like Microsoft Word, for familiarity sake. Know what I mean? It's not a matter of spending cash, it's a matter of wasting cash. Thanks.

try using a content manager on your site, problem solved-the most professional way to go

Instead of finding an HTML editor, you should look at a Content Management System such as Pagetool so that the people can actually use a web-based interface to edit stories and news. That way, you can mess with the code and layout, and the other people never even see the code.

EDIT: it's free, for cheapasses like you!

I have not used this, but it's free.
