WYSIWYG Editors Advantages and Disadvantages |
|
This page is built using
Cool Page,(A WYSIWYG Web Page Editor) this is my very first time using
the editor (I only wanted to demonstrate) how easy or
difficult it was to use, and I must say I am finding it reasonably
easy at the moment.
There are several WYSIWYG Editors out there (What You See Is What You Get) They differ from conventional Editors in the fact that you do not see the page code at all,they are similar to using something like Microsoft Word to make your webpages. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages,some are expensive and very large programs ,some like this one are smaller. It only takes approximately 10 minutes to download the Free Cool Page program .(Cool Page has varying levels depending on how much money you want to invest in the program). I am using the Free Version then there is The Standard Version ,The Pro Version and finally The Webmaster Version. The advantages of using a WUSIWYG editors are = 1.No need to learn any HTML (Web Page Coding Language) . 2.If You can use Windows, then the editors uses Windows type tools etc. so you can start using it straight away. 3.No worries about shuffling page properties and image properties to mix with each other or word-wrap around box's etc. (everything has its own box to fit into). The disadvantages of using a WYSIWYG editors are = 1.The full control of how the page is shaped and built are taken away to some extent. 2.Some objects and jobs are more difficult to perform than with a conventional type editor. 3,Limited to the functions supplied with the program. 4.The good ones can be very pricey and large. 5.Not so good with quality or use of graphics etc. and a little awkward to get them just right . Fear not the answer is at hand.
