Best Web Page Editor For Mac OSX

Pagespinner lets me create complex layouts like these from scratch. I can use in the built-in toolbars and menus to have Pagespinner set up the code for me, or edit the HTML codes by hand if I know what I'm doing.

Changes display immediately in the optional "Page Viewer" window.

Like Photoshop, you can do very simple designs without knowing anything, then gradually learn more advanced techniques through Pagespinner's tools and menus. Unlike Photoshop, there's a lot of assistants (like the module editors on Squidoo) which will walk you through common tasks like adding and formatting images, text, links, lists and CSS.

I've used Pagespinner long enough that I've memorized most HTML and CSS, but even so, I need to look up something now and then. The HTML Assistant under the "Windows" menu asks what you're looking for and inserts the codes for you, using easy forms and well-organized pulldown menus.

For example: what's the CSS codes for making a background image repeat itself side by side? Oh, I forget. So I'll just use the pulldown menu, and pagespinner added the correct codes to that "Extra CSS" box -- I didn't type it. Same thing with the fonts: the font pulldown menu has lists of web-safe fonts. When I click the "Insert" button at bottom right, Pagespinner adds all this to the style of the <p tag I've left open.

Notice the Example button at lower right. That opens a library of examples you can crib, study, edit and reuse.

This is just a quick glimpse of Pagespinner. Rather than giving you an in-depth review of every feature, let me just send you to the Pagespinner website. Grab it, try it, see if you like it. It will nag you to register every now and then, but all features are available in the free, unregistered version.

P.S. the 'Pagespinner Help" manual under the Help menu is very helpful for newbies.
