• SeaMonkey Suite

  "Web-browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editing made simple ... all your Internet needs in one application. Under the hood, SeaMonkey uses much of the same Mozilla source code which powers such successful siblings as Firefox and Thunderbird."

  SeaMonkey's Composer pane is an up-to-date 'Bug-Fix' version of "NVu" or "Kompozer": and is one of the most intuitive WYSIWYG HTML design tools I know of. There is a Site Manager that helps make publishing updated or new pages to your site as easy as saving files locally.

• KompoZer

  "One of the best free editors, and it is open source/cross-platform, too. It's designed for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive web site without needing to know HTML. Features include integrated file management, tabbed editing, and support for forms, tables and templates." (Review)

• Netbeans

  "Experienced users might prefer Netbeans. It started life as a Java Editor but with recent releases has developed into a powerful text editor for web scripting. At first glance, Netbeans is a little intimidating. Most of the menu items can be ignored by ordinary mortals. Using it as an HTML/PHP editor is akin to using a steam hammer to crack a peanut. Nevertheless the code completion, code colouring and the professional look and feel make it an excellent choice." (Review)
