FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver.
While you can certainly write HTML without such software, you will find
that commercial Web development tools make producing serious Web pages
much easier.
However, our experience is that if you are doing serious web development
it is important that you be able to edit HTML directly. Sometimes the
commercial editors refuse to do what you want, and the only solution is
to edit the HTML yourself. However, this is becoming less of a problem
with newer versions that are now quite sophisticated.
Alternatively, you should
consider the purchase of a shareware editor like
HTMLed Pro,
or use the newest versions
of word processing programs like Microsoft Word, which incorporate HTML editing
capability. The following links give a wide variety of shareware products for
HTML editing and translating.
Commercial editors like Dreamweaver are typically available for $100 or less with educational discounts.
