Mac Web editors?

I'm currently in the market for a decent WYSIWYG Web editor for the Mac. I'm used to Front Page, but I'm starting to phase out all the PCs.

Ultimately, it would be used to create photo sites with a storefront. Ease of use, rather than pure HTML programming would be desirable.

Thanks for any input, Ken

I've used and owned Dreamweaver before and I preferred it to FrontPage at the time. It seemed to produce cleaner code.

I think many Mac users like it. Check out this review:

Adobe GoLive seems like another good option.

I think a lot of this stuff is personal preference. So I recommend downloading these top editors and compare features and functionality. Then look at the code that is produced for ease of management and customizability.

I too use DreamWeaver on the Mac.. but I dont think its a Universal Application yet, and personally I feel like its kind of bloated for just a WYSWYG HTML editor.

One place you may checkout is the MacCast Forums... I've often got some great advice from the people there.

Well even in the MAC world there is Microfluffy, and in the MS Office world there is a NEW WYSIWYG web editor you might look into to see if it is supported in the MAC world. Microsoft has put out a beta of the Microsoft Web Designer that replaces FrontPage all together designed for the New MS OS
