Developer's Description

By CoffeeCup Software

Create, edit, and upload Web pages of any complexity.

CoffeeCup HTML Editor: Advanced web design for everyone. You want to create great websites, totally stellar, kick-butt websites that leave people saying, "Wow, you really made that?" Consider the HTML Editor your new best friend. HTML veterans, you'll create standards-compliant sites using powerful tools like code completion and built-in validation. Rookies, get ready to learn the ropes with resources like the comprehensive tag reference and vibrant website themes. And for those of you who like to stay on top of the latest and greatest web design developments, we have four words: HTML5 and CSS3 support. Something for everyone - not too shabby, eh?With valid website code, your pages display consistently in different browsers, work better with CSS, and are more accessible for disabled users and search engines. There's also the satisfaction that comes from knowing you're doing things right. That's why the HTML Editor comes with three different tools to correct human error and ensure that you're using valid code.A comprehensive Tag Reference section puts the correct tags right at your fingertips. Code Completion automatically suggests tags as you type them, preventing unclosed tags. Last but not least, a built-in validation tool allows you to check your code using W3C standards for perfectly valid pages every time. Whether you're creating websites in HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, or HTML5, these tools have you covered.

Good product, good company
mrYogaTT2/4/2017
Pros
I have always liked CoffeeCup products, so I may be biased. This software works well for my needs.
Cons
They are changing these features that I'm already used to. Not too happy about needing to re-learn, but that's not a big deal.
Summary
Solid product.
Clumsy to use
Aza D Oberman8/1/2016
Pros
Great ideas like being able to incorporate favorite CSS editors. Wonderful to have the W3Cvalidating available from the menu Like having a "project" that dials in the correct directory F11 external preview is handy Any kind of spell checking is better than none The support actually responds in a reasonable time, it even clearly pointed out a solution to a problem.
Cons
Key features are erratic. *Sometimes* I can shell out to a favorite CSS editor (but not to operate on a selected document). I can never shell out to my Perl editor or a competent JavaScript editor. So why have Tools/Applications or Preferences/Applications (add) if other software can't be tied in to make a real Site crafting environment? Only heaven knows what "features" like "Check Website Project Dependencies" "Site Spider" or "Code Cleaner" really do. Merely vomiting a crippled version of the Windows directory into the navigation pane isn't much more useful than actually using Windows explorer where your tools are in fact associated with the displayed files. The directory inside HTML Editor is really a straight jacket compared to working on the desk top with a far broader range of tools at your disposal. For example sometimes you can drag a file out, sometimes you can't -- weird! The "my way or the highway" hubris that infects the design of this editor gets tedious fast.
Summary
Nice idea but the implementation isn't very deft. The OS interface seems shaky judging by how the navigation in HTML editor works. In the end it's not a tool for people fluent in HTML looking for a solid reliable work-a-day tool. That said, should Coffee Cup decide to finish the software, HTML Editor has remarkable potential to fill an important niche as the vital tool for fluent HTML users At the moment I for one head back to my old reliable tools (and dated -- DzSoft's deceptively simple WebPad ) when it comes time to make a living.
Will not stand behind product
tropicalthought4/17/2016
Pros
Used to work and I used to be able to use it.
Cons
My html editor is not working and coffee cup tech support not only refuse to help me unless I buy a newer version of the software, but they banned me from the support website so I can't even download a new copy of what I own if I needed one.
Summary
I came to cnet and I found out the new software they want me to buy isn't even a what you see is what you get editor anymore. I would not recommend anyone buy this software. If you do, in a short time, they will refuse to support it.
Not the WYSIWYG editor it used to be! Clumsy!
victor-bailey8/17/2015
Pros
Lots of features
Cons
Raw html editing function only! No visual editor available.
Summary
This used to be a great Visual Editor (WYSIWYG) that allowed you to work in real time to visually create what you wanted. In the newest versions they completely done away with the Visual Editor. It is completely beyond any rational argument why they did this. Let me state this as clear as I possibly can here so that the creators of this program get it. PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE HTML DO NOT NEED A PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRGGGG!!! It is so stupid! People that know how to read and write HTML coding prefer to use Windows Notepad. They don't want or need (and actually have quite a bit of disdain for) a program that write code for them. Those of us that don't know how to read and write code need a Visual Editor. Why in the freaking world would you do away with the only thing that made your program useful to the common user? Your stupid instant preview pane is pitiful and clumsy at best. The user is still forced to try to edit the html manually and if they don't know how to read html, they are forced to use trial and error to get things right. What a stupid idea. And to think, you actual think this is worth money. Bring back the visual editor or go out of business.
After 3 years of having a Coffecup account...
IMAtechie11/20/2014
Pros
Coffeecup actually offers a good range of products and services, of which I have used a majority, especially the forms service. Setting up a majority of the services is straight forward and support is basic, but effective.
Cons
Why one star you ask? Well after having an account with Coffeecup for over 3 years, I relationship ended in one spectacular event. Whilst working abroad my company credit card expired, which happened to be the one registered with Coffeecup - this is the only way to pay. Unfortunately, even though I registered a new credit card with them, they went ahead and downgraded my account (after 5 attempts), and by doing so deleted all my forms and data - 3 years worth. This cannot be reconstituted.
Summary
Don't judge a book by its cover. This company is top heavy offering a varied range of products, but fails dismally with its customer service and billing system, it's so outdated compared to equivalents.
Don't trust coffee cup with your credit card
LamontJCranston10/10/2013
Pros
There are no pros.
Cons
Makes unauthorized charges to your credit card. Don't buy anything from coffee cup.
Summary
Great program, but will not use until it's fixed
gopack56179/8/2013
Pros
- Good program - Pretty much everything else except...
Cons
- Crashes and destroys your web pages
Summary
There are obviously multiple glitches in this program. One bug will crash one of your tabs and rewrite your file with absolutely nothing. Another will rewrite the file with whatever is on your clipboard. (Maybe they're the same and I just didn't have anything on my clipboard?) Anyway, until this is fixed, I won't be using this program. I've lost at least two important files completely already, and I was fortunate enough to have a backup for the third.
No UTF-8 support

Pros
Simple, simple
Cons
No UTF-8 support
Summary
A 'No-Nonsense Web Editor'
EikWeb9/3/2012
Pros
The best thing about the Coffeecup HTML Editor is, that it does exactly what you want, you don't get a lot of code that you haven't asked for. The built-in CSS editor and the CSS menu creator are brilliant additions to the programme. And it doesn't cost 'an arm and a leg'.
Cons
I can't think of any
Summary
If you are looking for a straight forward, no nonsense Website creator, The CoffeeCup HTML Editor is the one to look for.
One terrific editor
galencg9/2/2012
Pros
Plenty of help for the novice (like me) Great split screen preview Helps me learn proper coding with many pre built statements Even comes with themes to get you started
Cons
Well none for me right now.
