This is where you'll find all the software you need to build and maintain a Web site. From image editors to HTML editors, we pick the best of the best each month. Most HTML editors available today are WYSIWYG, giving a fairly precise indication of what a Web page will look like when previewed in a browser. Other popular features to look for in a site building application are ready to use Java applets, Javascripts and use W3W compliant HTML that is clean and fast while still being easy enough to navigate should you wish to make changes to the code by hand.

"Short for HyperText Markup Language, HTML is the authoring language used to create and view documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is similar to SGML, although it is not a strict subset."
