    "excellent for novice"

    by tommyshockey on May 27, 2007

    Pros: very easy to use ... almost no learning curve. I have tested most of the html editors on here and I have had a very positive experience

    Cons: None yet ... Looking into H1-H6 tags. I know you can edit the html code

    "Garbage!!! Free, but will cost you time and money!"

    by imagineth on June 7, 2010

    Pros: No pros. One wrong ketstroke and everything gets deleted with no undo! Program does whatever it wants. Creates the look, but changes the HTML to fit the page. Doesnt read HTML, makes up it's own. Arrow keys ignored. on and on and on! GARBAGE!!!!

    Cons: 1: Undo button is useless 9/10 times and you only get one undo. Page looks good but PB chages the HTML to make it almost unrecognizeable. When going from normal to HTML view make take upto 5 minutes to load. Truly the worst ANYTHING i have ever used.

    Summary: Even though it is free, you will regret using this software. It has been nothing but a headache from the first moment. Even though it is free, I would pay this company to never produce anything again. This is the weakest piece of software I have ever used in any category. This program is so poorly thought out, you'd think it was created by people who have NEVER used a computer. Undo button doesn't work 9/10n times and when it does, you get 1 undo! The page looks like you want it to (sometimes), but the html is NOT what I entered. If you make a change in HTML and then see the result in normal view, you lose your undo. This program changes your HTML and then saves it as your file without asking. Complete lack of features. FAR MORE COMPLICATED THAT FRONT PAGE! The most unintuitive piece of crap in existence. Do not download this garbage. It is a waste of time. Use another. I can't imagine that anything you chose can be worse than this.

    "Start from scratch, maybe. Existing? -Don't do it!!!"

    by psptina on October 31, 2009

    Pros: It's easy learn and easy to use. If you need to put a little page together in a hurry, this is the program for you!

    Cons: This is NOT the program for you if you have existing pages you just want to edit. Can't figure out why, but you WILL lose some coding and it threw a ? at the beginning of a page. Why? Dunno. Lucky I had backups!!!

    Summary: If you're building fresh, and just want a simple page, this is the program for you. If you're developing an involved site or have an existing site you want to update, this is probably NOT the program for you. It absolutely will juggle your code and you can end up losing certain elements like centering, CSS etc. If you want to try it, make sure you have a backup of your site as it is now!! Look around. There is a free WYSIWYG editor that won't do this....kmpzr

    "PageBreeze is good and easy to use, but not exactly a breeze."

    by MacPolk on August 10, 2007

    Pros: This is one of the best WISIWIG free editors I have seen. It is easy use and has a good number of features. For creating simple pges, PageBreeze is good.

    Cons: Do not expect too much from PageBreeze. It is east to use but takes a bit of HTML knowledge to achieve certain effects. Like most software, you just need to get use to how to use it; not all software is designed to same.

    "Terrible, it will destroy your sites! Do not get it!"

    by nirvanaonline on September 16, 2009

    Pros: it used to be good, but the authors have droped the site, the telephone is disconnected, but the company keeps charging for it.

    Cons: It destroyes your sites, slips in bad code, it keeps getting worse, as it is somehow being updated with bad code.

    Summary: Do not get it, it will ruin your sites.

    Updated on Sep 16, 2009

    This company has closed it�s doors. The telephone is disconnected, but the 3rd party company keeps collecting. THERE IS NO SUPPORT, and the program is getting really bad. I recommed the editors of www.download.com update their review. Do not download it, it destroys your web sites!

    by cnetahou on January 8, 2010

    "Very workable & user friendly"

    by dmjenkins on September 7, 2009

    Pros: This download is the best and I have tried a few, with the ease of use with HTML documents & tamplates previously produced, easy to use editing tools I am able to copy cut and paste to produce new web pages in a matter of minutes.

    Cons: I may go Pro with this one

    Summary: I learned HTML codes and designed my pages by hand, I have tried to convert myself to the new technologies in web page design, but some programs just do not work for me -- this one does. As I get better aquanted with my page breeze I will try to add the newer script codeing on my pages if this download allows it. I have no complants at this moment in time.

    "Almost useless for languages other than English"

    by GenealogySoft on May 20, 2009

    Pros: Quite small

    Cons: In main editor window (HTML code) you can not enter the symbol with hex code FF that used in many national codepages, so the editor is useless if you create pages on languages other than English.
    Mouse wheel doesn't work in main window.
