5.0 out of 5 stars A balance of power & simplicity, June 13, 2002

My first experience with the web in 1995 hooked me. Within a year I was fumbling around trying to make a web page. After failing in my attempt at raw-coding HTML, I ran across Netscape Composer. Netscape's rudimentary WYSWYG web page maker allowed me to gain the knowledge to create my first web page. Since then, I've experimented with Symantec Visual Cafe, Adobe Page Mill, Microsoft FrontPage, MacroMedia DreamWeaver and Adobe GoLive. I've learned a few things along the way. At some point in time you have to have a basic understanding of HTML code, even if you choose not to create web pages by hand coding. Creating web pages is a bit more complicated than doing a flyer, brochure or other graphic design layout. You have to ensure that the code that is produced is compatable across a wide range of operating systems and browsers that make up the internet.

Given the above, I'd like to add my endorsement of Namo WebEditor. First of all, the fact that this product is distributed by JASC says a lot. JASC has a knack at offering software that is powerful, easy to use, and low priced. Namo WebEditor fits all this criteria. Whether you are an average user, or a serious designer, Namo WebEditor is all you need. I'd rate it higher than DreamWeaver. And, unless you're in a big project, multi-developer, environment Namo WebEditor probably surpasses Adobe GoLive. If you are a novice, any web editing WYSWYG software has a learning curve. FrontPage is probably the easiest to learn, but in my opinion, Namo is no more difficult to learn than FrontPage. If you are a novice, you definitely want to buy the boxed version of Name WebEditor to take advantage of the printed manual. Namo WebEditor allows full web site management - from managing your web site to full FTP capabilities. I've also discovered that Namo WebEditor probably writes the cleanest code of all the web authoring programs available. This is important for ensuring fast-loading web pages that are compatable in the most popular browsers. To sum this review up, Namo WebEditor is powerful, feature rich, and serious web authoring software. If you're looking for WYSWYG web authoring, save yourself some money, save the trouble of searching the gamut of available products. Get Namo WebEditor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!, March 25, 2002

Wheather you are a professional webmaster or just a
beginner, this is what you gotta get. For beginners, this program has all - really all - that you need. And
support is always avialable off their home page. If you are beginner in web, then you have bundle of
really good pre-designed web themes - you just have to enter your data in order to create very nice web page. This can be done in less than three minutes!
If you are a professional web designer this program is also a must. I've used an array
of software over the years to create my work and none has ever been so effective as this piece. It offers a
combination of every tool you can imagine along with usable reference to correct problems. If you are a
professional you'll understand the need for movable tools and especially ones that don't kill work
space. The fact that the windows does not dock is simply amazing. And please, don't ever compare this
program to Front Page. Front Page is good only for starters. From a professionals point of view Namo
does everything. And just look at the price. It is the best value you can get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Editor, June 16, 2002

Dan (Grass Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Namo WebEditor 5 (CD-ROM)

Having not done web construction before, I was a little concerned with the fact that there wasnt alot of help and tutorials associated with this product. However, from reviews I decided to jump in anyway. Im glad I did. Though it took a bit of time to get the hang of it, I now compare it to friends products like GoLive and Frontpage and it seems a better product than all of them. I especially like how easy it is to set hyperlinks and to do image manipulation. The fact that you cant see a split screen hasnt been any great problem because I seldom do HTML writing. When I do I just jump back and forth. Great all around editor for people with limited web authoring skills but that dont need their hand held every step of the way. If you need tutorials to show you every step and dont like to think outside the box then this isnt for you.
