What You See Is What You Get(WYSIWYG) Editors

A WYISWYG editor is a software used to edit and create web pages.
Eversoft and NVU are 2 such web authoring editors that I have used to edit the "Genuine Internet Passive Income Home Business" home page. Having tried both of them, these are my experiences on the programs.


Evrsoft http://www.evrsoft.com/
-When used with auto responders, it allows you to see the hidden opt in box in the Design aka WYSIWYG mode which allows you to manipulate the entire hidden and non hidden portions of the opt in box to ensure auto responder functionality.

-Has Source and Design in split screen mode that allows one to see the graphic changes when modifying the source code.

-Able to preview the webpage and test the autoreponder in the Preview mode to test auto responder funationality.

-Works well with IE. You can be assured that what you see in Evrsoft will be viewed correctly by the majority of the internet audience who use Internet Explorer(IE), such as correct spacing, layout, page format.

-Experienced occasional error messages that causes shutdown of the software. This happens especially when modifying a webpage in the Design section then clicking on Source to edit the codes. Webpages not saved will be lost.

Recommended:
For users who need an auto responder in their page to capture subscribers.
For users who wish to copy and paste existing website templates then manipulate the designs for their own usage.



NVU http://www.nvu.com/index.php

-A stable webpage editing software that did not crash when switching between Design and Source mode.
-Unable to view the hidden and non hidden portions of the optin box in the Design or WYSIWYG mode.
-Testing of auto responder functionality did not work in Preview mode. I had to save the webpage, then reopen it with Mozilla or IE to test if the auto responder was working. Extra steps were time consuming.
-When formatting a page such as centering the page layout, the formatting was correct in Mozilla but differed in IE.
-Has templates that can be used for new websites and themes.

Recommended
For users who do not need an auto responder on the webpage.
For users who like to use standard templates and create new simple effective webpages.
