What does GoLive have that CoffeeCup doesn't? Which app is best for professionals? Compare these four HTML editors.
Adobe GoLive 6.0
GoLive is our favorite professional-level HTML editor for anyone who's serious about designing and coding or managing a company Web site. However, the program can easily overwhelm hobbyists.
Namo WebEditor 5.0
Although Namo WebEditor has a WYSIWYG view, its lack of HTML help and its strong site-management features make it more suitable for experienced Web builders who are looking for a cheaper alternative to Adobe GoLive.
CoffeeCup HTML Editor 9.2
At US$49, CoffeeCup is the perfect pick-me-up for building small, personal Web sites--as long as you know HTML. However, site managers, beware: CoffeeCup is too weak to be your cup of joe.
Spider Writer 5.2
Spider Writer's weak WYSIWYG view makes it inappropriate for newbies and amateurs. But small-business owners will appreciate the database connection wizard.
