I have been using Dreamweaver MX on my Powerbook G4 to update my web sites. I am not a programmer or web designer, so i am looking ofr the best software for me to make simple pages and edit existing simple pages. Dreamweaver seems too complex and i am guessing there are better ways of doing the simple tasks with a better user interface. Any suggestions? THANKS.

It seems to be good for basic design/publishing of web pages, but is it good for editing already existing pages?

iWeb hates working with existing files (doesn't even have an "open" option in the file menu). -

Thu, May 1, 2008 - 2:15 PMoh wow, that's a bit out of date, I didn't realize they discontinued it... I have used KompoZer too, which apparently has replaced it, but I never got that deep into it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KompoZer.
These will also run as portable apps off of a thumb drive, which I don't use too often in OSX, mostly XP, but I know its out there. Brilliant stuff really. Check out Gimp as well, it's the photoshop replacement project. -

Thu, May 1, 2008 - 5:29 PMfor simple you can open and edit html documents using textedit.
for user interface, look up - os x WYSIWYG html editor on a search engine
it stands for "what you see is what you get" I think iweb and nvu and komposer, for example, are all wysiwyg - they should show up along with other options in the search
