Making Your Decision
Decision time! Should you spend hundreds of dollars on an HTML editor with many extra features, or should you spend a lot less and go with the more simple (but still very effective) CoffeeCup HTML editor?
If you are going to work with small, personal Web sites that do not require a lot of fancy effects, efficient site managing, features that help you integrate databases, e-commerce objects, and so on, I definitely recommend CoffeeCup HTML editor. If you are looking for all these features and are willing to spend the extra money on getting them, I personally still prefer Dreamweaver over FrontPage (although I must mention that I have used Dreamweaver and, therefore, have gotten to know the program a lot better and appreciate all of its features more).
If you are still not sure, I suggest that you go back to the beginning of the article and make yourself a little checklist. Write down all the features that you find useful and that will help you with your current (or future) Web design projects. If you find that most of the featured mentioned would be useful to you, it might be a good idea to spend that extra money on Dreamweaver or FrontPage. Otherwise, check out CoffeeCup HTML editor first and see how it works for you.
Good luck making your decision!
