Arachnophilia

This is a tiny, but effective piece of software for generating/editing web pages. It is very stable; I have used it for several months, and it has been very well-behaved. Features that I find very useful are: automatic color selection from a palette; analysis of a site, to see if there are any unresolved references / unused resources; tag buttons; preview as you edit; preview in several browsers; well-organized menus. Arachnophilia is careware. Visit www.arachnoid.com.

Well, I find the name of this is funny... it reminds me of something else, as well as unconventional, since it starts with a numeral. Name aside, this is the most convenient web-authoring software I've used. It provides easy access to files, colors and scripts, and it has a great reference section. Syntax-coloring is great, and multiple-browser preview is available. The internal browser has an potion to display a pixel ruler :) . But I did run into some instability (some memory error) so I do have to save regularly. Visit www.evrsoft.com.

This is really big, both the download and the program. I haven't used it extensively, but so far, my impression of it is that it is widely featured and very customizable. Visit them at www.sun.com/staroffice
