Namo WebEditor for Windows

• A little buggy but I LOVE its ease of use!

  May 3, 2016

  Pros

  The single most important feature to me is its ease of use. You can edit in real time mode, meaning you see the web page, and you just type into it. You format things, add links, etc., and the program takes care of the code. The second most important feature to me is the ease of setting up photo albums and slide shows, and it creates tables with snippet views of your photos, and if the user clicks on the photo they see the photo in real life. I need updated software, and software that will run in Linux as well, but I'm having a REAL hard time finding anything like it. Most software, no matter how "easy to use" only lets you view HTML code, whether you have to write it yourself or the software writes it for you, then when you are ready you have to open it in a web browser. Plus I haven't found ONE that does the same thing with photo albums.

  Cons

  Some features have grown a little buggy. At one point it always loaded a black page by default no matter what I did.

  Summary

  Software seems to be irreplacable!

• ON MY VERY FIRST USE THE THEME TOOL WAS BUGGY ! !

  micebergNovember 22, 2014

  Pros

  SHARP INTERFACE DESIGN APPEARS EASY TO LEARN TO USE APPEARS TO HAVE NUMEROUS CONTEMPORARY FEATURES IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM TO WORK ALL THE TIME AND CORRECTLY

  Cons

  BUGGY PERFORMANCE ISSUES DOWNLOADABLE PLUG-INS & RESOURCES _UN_AVAILABLE

  Summary

  The feature which allows you to preview and select a theme previewed okay, but when I selected the theme, nothing happened besides the Themes-feature dialogue box going away. I tried it three times. On one attempt I did get the outline of the theme tables(panes) in dotted lines to appear and editable "Insert Text Here" labels, but no background colors, images, banners, buttons, or etcetera.. just nothing. Tried to use "download more themes..." in the dialogue box and went to a page at the NAMO site which was a generic landing page that had no downloadable content of any kind available.. GO FIGURE... You can tell that "something happened" to this software... that once upon a time ago, the original chief programmer who masterminded it was a brilliant fine mind, but unfortunately it appears that something happened, a mgmt or corporate change-over ...I don't know.. but something is just not right... Try at your own risk.. There's a lot of potential here.. just don't be surprised if you get let down.... I was.

• Not bad, but not good either

  joemammaskiSeptember 20, 2013

  Pros

  Excellent GUI, many excellent features, much easier than DW CS4.

  Cons

  Laggy.. and I mean LAGGY! It takes 5 to 10 seconds just to open the FTP portion of the software. Even DW CS4 is quicker than that.

  Summary

  Namo 5.5 is much better. Buggy yes, and it does crash often. But it has no issues with lag.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 20, 2013<p/>one more thing.. Tech support is unequivocally and absolutely non-existent!

• I've used different versions of this for years

  onremlopFebruary 23, 2012

  Pros

  It really takes out a good deal of the drudgery of repetitive tasks and once formatted correctly, is quite easy to update websites.

  Cons

  Support is non-existent. Do NOT EVER lost your product key, login key registration codes, etc... .because it will be next to impossible to install it otherwise if and when you switch computers or reformat your hard drive. Trust me on this one.

  Summary

  This would be a really dynamic application used by a lot more people if they didn't have such terrible support. They used to have an inadequate knowledgebase but now it doesn't exist anymore. You pretty much are on your own if you run into issues. I would really like to see a new drive on their part to increase their sales by spending just a few extra dollars on support. For example, they have an excellent tool on how to create online tests/quizzes for teachers, and how to make the form, but next to nothing on documentation on putting it on a server for others to use. I have as yet to find a service or application (except for google forms) that makes this task relatively easy. Probably why google docs is gaining in popularity.

• Very good and easy to use program!

  JadeHaynesDecember 8, 2011

  Pros

  Easy to use. Quick publication and wizards

  Cons

  Preview appears a bit slow.

  Summary

  It is very easy to use. I am not a computer savvy person, so I was looking for a easy to use program and I am very satisfied with this one. Tools are straight forward simple and functions are easy to use. With a few simple clicks, I can create a page. Perfect program for a beginner like me.

• FAKE TRIAL!!!

  Lucien_SabreNovember 19, 2011

  Pros

  I couldn't find any...

  Cons

  ....since, once installed, it told me my trial days were over.

  Summary

  I tried to download Namo WebEditor and Namo CodeEditor, because they looked good from screenshots...but that's just to attract suckers. v_v Once you install it - even IF YOU NEVER INSTALLED IT BEFORE - they say the trial is over and you have to buy it, otherwise the program closes down....SCAMMERS!!! &gt;.&lt; STAY AWAY FROM THIS EDITOR!!! THERE ARE BETTER ONE YOU CAN GET WITH LESS MONEY (like WeBuilder2011, TopStyle, EditPlus)!!!

• awful customer service

  chemicalburnDecember 2, 2009

  Pros

  The product is fine.

  Cons

  The customer service with the one is beyond awful - buying it not worth the risks of having to deal with them...

  Summary

  The customer service with the one is beyond awful - I actually was told I would have to buy the product again after I ran into issues with re-installing it on my computer. They are completely indifferent and really have no interest in solving any problems you may have with the program. Really, I've never been as infuriated as I was dealing with them - I'd say stay away from this one because you run the real risk of having thrown your money away if there are any problems. Terrible, terrible, terrible customer service and generalized incompetence - their main database was apparently down for weeks and no one could do anything in the meantime...!

• GFood Basic Editor lousy for large sites

  patman-1May 13, 2009

  Pros

  Its very easy to use. It has many buily in capabilities not available in other products

  Cons

  No Technical support. If you have a problem you are on your own. They are missing the boat. With good technical support this could easily be a premier product. See the website forum. It appears they do not monitor that either.

  Summary

  I have had a memory crash error each time I try to update my site. Once the site is large it cannot handle it. I called and they said it was registry error. After thorough investigation and multiple attempts to repair as they had suggested it still kept crashing. They have offered no support since. I was a loyal customer since the late 90's but stopped using it in October of 2008. It forced me to do a lot of duplicate work in the new editor. I will never buy their product again!!!
