web page editing software?

[txbatons]

I am currently using Macromedia Contribute to maintain/edit my web site. I'm looking to replace this with another easy to use piece of software without losing any current pages or causing downtime.

Anyone out there use something that fits the bill? I'd prefer something free and reliable like Contribute, but would pay a small price if it required it.

Thanks in advance.

I have been using Hot Dog Pro by Sausage software for many years, even back when I had a real job.

It's not free but I have never seen one of the free packages give you the power, flexability and TOTAL control that Hot dog does.

They used to have a free trial period, probably still do. All it would hurt to try is downloading the software then deleting if you don't like it.

If you write Java or any scripting language, you'll love the "Power toys"

George...I'll check that out. I don't write any sort of language, but am willing to learn. Thanks for the tip.

I've been using http://hapedit.free.fr/

It isn't wsywyg, if that is what you are looking for, but it lets me edit asp files.

try www.nvu.com

it's free so if it doesn't do what you need you'll only be out a little time.

Just make sure that you back-up you existing pages so you can replace them in case you don't like nvu.

I use NVU and also Kompozer. Both work the same and both are free. They may not have all the bangs and whistles but I like the simple things.

I've been meaning to put Joomla! through it's paces and see what/how well it works. Just haven't had the time.

NVU is one of the top Dreamweaver clones. I have Dreamweaver so I don't need to use NVU.

Joomla, I love. Three of my sites are run with it.
