Today, every business and venture has a website, which is why a designer has as an ally a WYSIWYG editor. From NeoTeo we already talked to you about Joomla, Magento and WordPress, but if you want to customize a template to the maximum or program a custom site, we present the five free tools for web design. We could also title this article as the five free alternatives to Dreamweaver, with which you can program your website.
Kompozer
We'll start with Kompozer, an HTML/CSS editor with WYSIWYG capabilities that lets you see the design of the code you're creating in real time. The tool also features an FTP client, so you can upload files as you create them. Kompozer is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
Aptana Studio
We continue with Aptana Studio, a powerful suite that gives us several options for creating web pages, with support for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Ruby, Rails, PHP, and Python. The platform has Ajax, HTML, CSS, DOM, PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Ruby, Rails, Python support, a powerful integrated debugger, and the option to download plugins (Eclipse, iPhone, and Adobe AIR) that enhance its features. Aptana Studio is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
BlueFish
BlueFish is a powerful platform for web programmers and designers with which you can write code (with scripts). The environment has support for the most popular languages like HTML, C, C++, and HTML5. The tool also has an FTP and SFTP client, a text corrector (differentiates text from code). BlueFish is a free application available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Website Builder 4
Website Builder is a powerful HTML editor that supports HTML5/XHTML, PHP, CSS, JS, CFML, and ASP documents. But what stands out is that it has more than 250 HTML editing functions. The environment creates responsive web pages and integrates perfectly with the main social networks thanks to its dCodes technology. Website Builder is a free application available for Windows.
Amaya
We'll finish with Amaya, a powerful HTML editing tool that has the backing and standards of the W3. The platform has a viewer that allows you to create websites from scratch or renew them (option to work online or offline). Amaya has all the functions to create web pages and you won't need other platforms for site design. Amaya is a free application available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
