Online Web Editing

One of the most tedious parts of building a website is editing it. In fact, you will most likely be spending several hours just working on one page. And to top it all, it would definitely be even harder if you don't have with you one of those point and click editors available today.

Indeed, getting one of these editors isn't that easy. For one, the best packages out there will set you back by at least three hundred dollars. On the other hand, trying out one of those free editors might leave you shortchanged, as many of these often don't have all the features that are available with top end editors. Besides that, you will have to go through all the hassle of downloading and actually making them run on your computer.

Luckily there us another way for you to edit your web site without having to install all of theses programs just to edit your website. In fact, if you are in a hurry, you can actually go online and edit your site there. You see, online HTML editing sites are now fast becoming popular among designers as a good alternative to using software to construct your pagers. This online sites provide designers with a place to edit their sites.

One particular site is HTML Editor.org (www.html-editor.org). Here, you can quickly open your pages and edit them, either in a graphical manner or through code writing. After editing, you can then reuplaod your pages to your site's hosting server.

One good thing about using online editors is that you don't need to install additional software in order to use them. Also, they are actually quite easy to use, since their interfaces are usually presented similar to that of popular programs, which means those familiar with this programs can quickly adapt to editing online. And since almost all of them are free, these are proving to be a good and cheap alternative for designers.

However, one major downside of using online editors is that they, like any other free service, often do not offer the full range of functions that can be found in full fledged website authoring software. Most often give only basic HTML editing capabilities, while others will provide support for, at the most, three coding languages. However, this can be easily remedied by using an assortment of sites to meet your needs.

One thing that you need to keep in mind when using online editors is that, though they will be able to provide you with a quick editing tool, they are not suitable for use in the whole site. Most usually don't have an HTML validation feature, so you will not be able to know if your codes will be accepted or not. Thus, it is still a good idea if you have web site authoring software on hand for this purpose.
