What's the a reasonable cost html editor - web site manager?

I won't use Front Page, I'm philosophically oposed to joining "the collective".

Also, I used to use some "FTP Pro" maybe, dual wondows, very handy for FTP.
Is that still around?

I suppode I could code and ftp manually, but that seems time consuming.

Thanks.
 
Dreamweaver is the best of course, but i wouldn't call it reasonably priced... maybe for its features but not for someone just starting out. if you know where to look it can be as close to reasonable as possible :p
 
Thanks for the FileZilla tip.

Hmm I was thining more $50-$100 for an html editor/manager.

How about the price of

A couple of freeware HTML editors that's on the annual recommendation list from alt.comp.freeware

1st Page 2000

HTML-Kit

might also want to look at/try a WYSWYG Editor -

Amaya

I know it is "old school", but my advice is to use a text editor. TextPad is great but there are lots of others. vi on UNIX/LINUX is perfectly good if that operating system choice is an option.

HTML is not that complicated and this way you will understand all of your pages. Even throwing in some JavaScript and working with HTML Forms it is still pretty easy to develop and maintain with a text editor.

Just be sure to plan and design the pages and how they work together first before creating any files.

Notepad will work if you know how to use HTML tags (which is worth learning). Netscape Composer is an adequate WYSIWYG type of editor and is free. Macromedia Dreamweaver is good, but a little pricey. Kind of depends on how ellaborate your needs are. FileZilla is a good choice for a free FTP program.

Also, some (most) of the HTML editors have a built in FTP program too.
 
I still like using NotePad and HTML, myself. I come from the "old school" GeoCities tradition when I had 2MB of space in my directory for web pages and images, and hand-coding was the best way to save space. Most all of the WYSIWYG HTML editors add alot of extraneous, unnecessary coding, and, unless you have an account that allows you the use of FTP (Free GeoCities' sites no longer have FTP access...), you'll need to create alot of sub-directories online, and then upload the proper files into their proper, specific sub-directory.

Beyond NotePad, knowing HTML, and hand-coding, I've heard many recommendations for HTML-Kit and 1st Page 2000. The Netscape browser used to come bundled with Netscape Composer, free, and you can download them from http://home.netscape.com/ and after clicking the "Browser Central" link.
