Review of NVU Free Web Site Publishing Program by the Rich Sage

Since I work almost exclusively on my web sites with WordPress, I have little or no need for a web site publishing program such as Adobe’s Dreamweaver or Microsoft’s FrontPage –which I think is part of Microsoft Office. I have used both programs in the past –Dreamweaver for several years and FrontPage for about a month. Both programs have improved continuously, but my need for either has diminished.

From time to time, either I need to help a friend with code or put up a “landing page” (& one-time-offer pages) and the best solution to making them is with NVU.

NVU is an unique program that works on Linux, Windows and a Mac. And it’s FREE. For those of you who use web page design spearingly without a Content Management System, NVU is perfect to get the job done for that once a month web page design task. Well, even if you use it daily, it can get the job done for you.

NVU Publisher Features

NVU Publishers Features Include:

• The normal features that help you design a web site that are found in other publishing programs.
• The features are utilized without the use of HTML code! The is perfect for beginners. You don’t need to know “code”.
• A built in FTP program to upload the files when you are done.
• The program is free –Wondering if it can handle the your tasks? Just download it and use it and you’ll see it’s full capability.
• NVU has a feature at the bottom that allows you to view your page normally, using HTML or pure code.
• When you’re ready to look at the web page, just press preview.
• Most of the functions that are needed for web site publishing are just a click away by icon or tab.

If you are considering becoming a professional web site designer, by all means pick up Dreamweaver to get your job done. However, for the rest of us, who need to setup or edit a website once a week or once a month, NVU is the perfect solution to take care of those tasks in an elegant manner.

Success with your web project!
