    What is a good WYSIWYG Web Page Editor?

    I am not very talented in HTML or anything of that nature and would like to find a good ( free ) WYSIWYG ( What you see is what you get ) web page design program.

    Does anyone have some good suggestions?

    I recommend Adobe Dreamweaver because it's one of the better ones, if you want to pay the money to get it and it can cost a fair bit of money.

    Have a look at this website, for millions of others.

    I'd be happy to get Dream, if it didn't cost so much. Thanks for the website, but do you happen to know of one that is good? So I don't have to take the time to go through each and every one?

    Yeah, Dreamweaver does cost alot. I found a better site with some actual reviews of free editors.
    http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmled...freewyswin.htm

    It really depends what you want in a WYDIWYG editor.
    * HTML validator
    * Text HTML editor
    * WYSIWYG HTML editor
    * Color coding
    * FTP
    * Site manager
    * Search and replace
    * JavaScript support
    * CSS editor
    * Writes valid HTML (including DTD)
    Most of those free ones seem to have these features, if you want an easy to use one then maybe you should just try some of the free ones.

    Adobe software always costs loads. Otherwise, if you are looking for something free, why not give SourceForge a try? I'm sure you'll find some open source software there that will meet your needs.

    Also, if you have Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007, it comes with a basic HTML editor with a WYSIWYG editor.

    I have Word 2007 and didn't see the HTML editor. ( I have Office 2007 ) Which has Word, Powerpoint, Excel and OneNote ... but no editor program that i can see.

    An editor that allows me to just type and move around graphics, backgrounds and whatnot to where I want it to show on the page without having to type in all the HTML coding.

    Try opening an HTML page with it. That's how I've brought it up in the past for someone. All you have to do is go to Open, change the file type it is looking for to Web Pages, and select the HTML page if you have one. If you don't, I'm sure if you tell word to create a new website that it should do something. And as I suggested earlier, you can always look through SourceForge.net

    Also, cPanel's File Editor has an WYSIWYG HTML editor in there if you didn't know.

    I suggest Komposer, its a free HTML editor and it does axactly what you just said.

    Search it on Google.

    Or you could try NVU.
