4. WordPress

 

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it. Self-hosted WordPress software is free, hosting service at WordPress.com is freemium.

5. WIX

 

Wix is a strong option for people who know what they want out of their site. It has over 500 beautiful templates for you to start with. These templates are extremelychic and modern. Once you pick your template on Wix, it’s time to get going with their drag-and-drop editor.bsite.

6. Aptana Studio

 

It may seem odd, but the first item in our list isn't a WYSIWYG editor at all. Aptana Studio is an "open source development tool for the open web" which, in practice, means it's more of an advanced IDE specializing in web development. Based on the open source Eclipse project, Aptana Studio features tools for assisting in HTML and CSS authoring, including code coloring and completion, debugging, and outlining of documents. Its main selling point is its JavaScript support, making it a strong tool for developing more complex web applications.

7. SeaMonkey

 

SeaMonkey is a community continuation of what was once a Mozilla-produced internet application suite. While Mozilla decided to narrow its focus to individual projects, SeaMonkey continues to make regular releases of its full suite, which includes SeaMonkey Composer, a WYSIWYG HTML editor.

8. Aloha Editor

​

Aloha Editor is a JavaScript-based WYSIWYG HTML5 editor that allows users to edit content in the same layout that readers view it. While a follow-up project (Aloha Editor 2) was discontinued, Aloha Editor is still being actively developed.

9. KompoZer

​

A Mozilla project, the last stable update of KompoZer (0.7.10) was in 2007, suggesting like Expression 4.0, this project has run its course. However, also like Expression, KompoZer is still free as a download. 

A fully WYSIWYG editor, KompoZer is Windows compatible and comparable to Dreamweaver except that it doesn’t allow server-side scripting. Like Dreamweaver, KompoZer allows you to create templates. And also like Dreamweaver, it’s possible to open any number of pages simultaneously.

KompoZer offers a CSS editor and an HTML validator and as a result, the sites it creates are compatible with modern browsers.

10. Amaya

​

A The last stable release of Amaya Home Page was version 11.4.4 in January 2012 so here’s another project that has reached the end of the road. 

It supports HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, XHTML Basic, XHTML 1.1, HTTP 1.1, MathML 2.0, many CSS 2 features, and SVG, but these might be a bit dated if you need a site with a really modern design. 

Amaya does though offer HTML, CSS and XML validators, validating HTML as you create your site. A tree structure is also available, as is a "Page Preview" function. 

11. Trellian WebPage 

​

Initially released in 2006, Trellian Webpage is another solution that remains supported and much loved. For a free software, it is quite powerful, offering a ‘drag & drop’ interface and support for current Internet technologies. 

With a user-friendly interface, Trellian Webpage boasts a built-in spellchecker. It also features easy-to-use resampling tools and allows users to easily “create search engine friendly pages”. 

Another good alternative for anyone who thinks Dreamweaver might be beyond their website’s requirements. 

12. openElement 

​

While the last stable release of openElement (version 1.47.3) was release January 21, 2014, this remains fully supported and a powerful tool. This WYSIWYG software offers a very intuitive interface and caters for technologies like HTML5 and CSS3. 

openElement is important because it focuses on enabling users to create websites with the responsive designs that look good on any device (PC, mobile, or tablet) and are vital for good SEO. 

Powered by Chromium, it caters for multilingual websites and offers reusable styles and element packs. 

13. Google Web Designer

​

Technically still in Beta (you know how Google does things), Google Web Designer is a genuinely good solution that gives you everything you want from a WYSIWYG HTML editor. While the last release date was November 2015, it is still fully supported, and being a Google product could potentially offer an SEO edge. 

Totally freeware, it offers a number of work spaces: Design View, Code View, and a Preview space that lets you look at what you have created through Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. 

Another benefit of Google Web Designer is it allows you to craft Google Ads and create and edit CSS, JavaScript and XML files.

 

14. TOWeb

​

While the last version of TOWeb (version 5.29) was released late 2015, this software is still supported and maintained, and it packs a punch as far as free WYSIWYG software is concerned. 

Like other solutions TOWeb has HTML 5 and CSS 3 covered, but more importantly, it also has a strong leaning towards enabling users to create ‘responsive’ website designs. TOWeb provides a number of templates which users edit and revamp to design the responsive website they need. 

While TOWeb has paid ‘premium’, ‘ecommerce’ and ‘studio’ packages available, the free version is powerful enough for most people’s needs.
