- A Website, not a client-side APi - $0
- Client-side JavaScript
- Few programming chores are purer than writing JavaScript, HTML,
and CSS in three rectangles in your browser, then watching it run
in a fourth. The tool builds "fiddles," which are smaller blocks
of code that might work best as embedded frames. The code can
easily call APIs, but you won't build any APIs with it. That would
be missing the point. The developers clearly want to encourage more
snippets and code that can form the building blocks for Web pages.

- Not perfect, but better than most editors. Dreamweaver
is better, but much much more expensive.
- No setting to automatically open files in split screen (HTML/WYSIWYG)
by default. Necessary to click on the split-screen tab.
- No shortcut or menu button to switch between screens.
- The coding windows open either on a blank line (<br> with
no surrounding code) or at the very end of the file.
WTF? Should open at the same place as in the WYSIWYG window.
- No shortcut to open a browser webpage in Kompozer? - (Note: This
shortcut is a setting in the browser, not the editor.)?
- Right-click does some strange things, like highlight the whole line.
- Editor does lots of strange things. Illogical and frustrating.

- "I recently tried Pinegrow
html editor and wow Its like Dreamweaver on Steroids, so quick so responsive
virtually no lag, buttery smooth when editing."
- "Pinegrow is decent for some things but it lacks S/FTP, code editing
(code hints, auto completion, linting, Emmet), and the robust file management
features of Dreamweaver."
- I can't completely agree with these statements.

Weebly
- Create a free website and a free blog - $0 - Not really free, because
of the limitations.
- Weebly
doesn't work well with all browsers (e.g. Firefox).
- Corporate Office: 1-415-375-3268 - Don't bother calling.
Nobody will answer you. The company does not offer any type of support
by phone.
- Pricing | Weebly
- However, you will need either the Starter package or the Pro package.
You need one of these upgrades if you want to use your own domain
name, have a slideshow in the header, have searching on your site,
remove the advertising link to Weebly, etc.
- There are no "breadcrumbs" to show where you you are in the site structure.
Breadcrumbs is not an option.
- There is no way to have a menu item link to an existing page in the
site (unless you pay to upgrade and use your own domain name). Menu
items are just pages. However, buttons can link to an existing page
in the site.
- Statistics are available for only one month. After that your site
traffic history is gone.
- It is easy to set up and edit the sites. It is easy to modify
themes. It is possible to download the site as a zip. However,
it is rather basic in its functionality.
- Support - Customer Service & Tech Support
- Good website editor. Terrible customer service. Terrible
tech support.
- Weebly Help - M-F 11h-20h EST - You will have to be VERY patient
if you really really want support. The problem may be urgent
for you, but it may take 3 or 4 or 5 or more days to get a response
from Weebly Tech Support. How patient are you?
