Software Review: Nvu
|
|
Home users who want to build their own Web pages instead of using somebody else's prefab templates haven't had great options. Microsoft's $199 FrontPage is a clunky product that produces clunky pages, and higher-end products such as Adobe's GoLive and Macromedia's Dreamweaver, each $399, are far too complicated and expensive for home use. But a new software prodcut called Nvu (pronounced "n-view") provides a much-needed alternative. This open-source release comes from Linux distributor Linspire, but it runs in Windows and Mac OS X. It does what other Web-creation programs only promise: make it easy to create Web pages without your having to learn the peculiar argot of the Web's HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Nvu looks and works like a word processor: You type text into a blank page, then click on one toolbar button or another to add formatting, insert images or stitch in links to other sites. (Unlike Microsoft Word and its ilk, however, Nvu can't check your spelling as you type, only afterward.)
