Nvu is a What-you-see-is-what-you-get webpage editor. Pretty easy to learn, fun to use.Elisha Cuthbert:<a class="user" href="http://portalcab.com/downloads/gatinhas/elisha-cuthbert/elisha-cuthbert-1.jpg">http://portalcab.com/downloads/gatinhas/elisha-cuthbert/elisha-cuthbert-1.jpg</a>

Great article - NVU is an excellent app, a free alternative to Dreamweaver for many people's web development needs. ( <a class="user" href="http://www.nvu.com">http://www.nvu.com</a> ) However, most people will need a couple more apps to round out their toolset:To create artwork for use in NVU, I recommend InkScape ( <a class="user" href="http://www.inkscape.org/">http://www.inkscape.org/</a> ) a free vector art application similar in many ways to Illustrator or Fireworks -- great for creating logos, text art, and other graphics.For bitmap image editing, color correction, photo prep, etc, I recommend Paint .NET ( <a class="user" href="http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/features.html">http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/features.html</a> ) for Windows, or The Gimp ( <a class="user" href="http://www.gimp.org/">http://www.gimp.org/</a> ).With these web design and development tools and some creativity, anyone can design, build, and deploy top quality web sites. And best of all, these are all free and Open Source! Enjoy.

I used Nvu to design my site: <a class="user" href="http://www.memeshift.com">http://www.memeshift.com</a> I recommend it to all my friends. Much easier to use than Dreamweaver for newbies.

I played with NVU for a total of one week, on Macs as well as Linux, and my list of complaints is far longer than my list of compliments. My favorite is how you sometimes press "publish" and nothing happens, how it spontaneously decides to re-upload files that are already uploaded, and how there is no consistent interface for mapping remote folders to local folders so you can keep things in sync. It's really quite bad.Oh, but don't get me wrong, options like "URL is relative to page location" were really easy for me to explain to newbies. Yuck.
