Choosing an HTML Editor Atlanta GA

Creating a website can be a long, tedious process. Using an HTML editor can streamline the act of writing code to a pleasant degree. If you find yourself in the market for a good HTML editor, it is important to determine what you want from one. By asking yourself the following questions, you can zero in on the HTML editor that is right for you.

1. Are you looking for a simple HTML editor, or a WYSIWYG editor? A simple HTML editor (which is sometimes not so simple) is usually text editor with some interesting options included. Some of these options are the ability to store macros, groups of tags written out for you with the click of a button, hex code copiers, and automatic image dimension detection. A bare-bones text editor (such as Notepad) can be used to write HTML as well, though some find it too slow. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors, on the other hand, allow you to graphically lay out a webpage, which will then be converted into HTML and saved as a .html document.
   
   Generally, the benefits to using WYSIWYG are that you can design a website quickly and easily, spending minimal time in the learning stages. The benefits of a text editor or simple HTML editor mostly lie in the level of control you have over your code. With a WYSIWYG, unnecessary code is sometimes added into your page because the program does not have optimum efficiency programmed for that particular scenario. WYSIWYG also occasionally writes for only one browser. When using a text or simple HTML editor, the program adds nothing that you don't personally write out or ask it to add. This is important because clean code loads faster and makes your website more organized. Using a text or simple HTML editor allows you to ensure the cleanest code that you can create.
