Simple, inexpensive, but excellent HTML/ XHMTL editor

Pros
Easy learning curve. Use it for coding from menus or hand code without difficulty.
Cons
A little light on the documentation.
Summary
I have been using PageSpinner since September 2001 and have found it to be a very reliable web editor. You can elect to write some of the code yourself or take advantage of the available bells and whistles to use the built-in code snippets., Great program and I would recommend it to any Mac user.
Handy, affordable HTML editor for the Mac

Direct editing of html code.

Formats your code for easier reading
Reasonably priced

Some anomaly with copying and pasting to the clipboard does not play well with other Mac applications.
Summary
If you like looking at the raw HTML code while editing your pages, as I do, this is the handiest software tool I have found for web site creation.You can allow PageSpinner to create your code for you with easily accessible formatting tools, or directly edit the code yourself. Quickly see your page realized in a browser of your choice. This is the best editor on the Mac I have found at its price point.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a very nice product. I've been using it for a while now without any complains. It's been over a year without any new releases and would like to see this software going forward.
Awesome! Wish it was cross-platform.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using Pagespinner for years. I love it! I love the way it doesn't add a bunch of garbage to my HTML. It's one of the few shareware programs I've actually paid for. Well worth it! My only complaint is that I wish it had a Windows version. I work on both computers and I have to do the Windows pages the hard way.
Try It !

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The Professional tool that even amateurs can use.
Especially recommended for those who are still in the dinosaur age with webauthoring bloatware. Together with map spinner, this is just perfect for the web authors of this century !
Sells at a price that the giant software houses cannot even understand.
Do yourself try it (especially if you think Rapid Weaver -- itself a great programme, is not for you)
Best web authoring tool ever, for any price.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Have you ever discovered an application that does exactly what you want, just as if you'd designed it yourself? Have you ever found one that did all the things you wanted it to do and, better still, wasn't bloated with a bunch of features you didn't want and were never going to use?
Pagespinner is that kind of application. It's so refreshing to use a professional tool that just does the job the way you want it done. I've kept switching between GoLive and Dreamweaver, never satisfied with either, but never finding anything better. I love BBEdit, but I'm not a full-time html coder, and need a WYSIWYG view every once in a while. Pagespinner gives me that preview, when I want it, and in real-time.
Pagespinner is just one more reason to be glad you're a Mac user.
Hopeless - You can only edit html source, not graphics

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've used Pagespinner since way back and have been very happy with it, apart from having to drop a source file into something else to see line numbers (for error fixing). And now we have them â?? well done.
The download worked for me, no problems (using 10.3.9, Firefox, saved to a folder and used Stuffit to decompress the smi file)
finally found what I needed ...
