Nvu WYSIWYG

Sponsered by Linspire, the company that is trying to make Linux user-friendly for the rest of us, and based on everyone’s favorite browser Firefox, is Nvu. Pronounced as NewView, in case you are wondering, Nvu is a project that if successful could give everyone an open sourced WYSIWYG Web Authoring Suite that can compete with Macromedia’s Dreamweaver.

Even if you are good with writing html from scratch, graphical editors like Nvu and Dreamweaver still become useful when editing and making tables.

Right now Nvu is nothing to brag about. The interface seems slow and even older versions of Dreamweaver 3 still beat Nvu, but the project is nearing its first major 1.0 release and there are even some extensions and themes at NvuExt.mozdev.org. The Phoenity theme is the most cartoonish one and should match WindowsXP based desktops the most. Since Nvu is based on Firefox, hopefully more of the Firefox extension developers will release stuff for Nvu too in the future.

If you can’t afford Adobe or Macromedia software, you should check out Nvu, cause free software may not be perfect but it is very affordable.

Welcome to WebKeyDesign

After a couple of months of thinking about it, I ended up turning a hobby of mine into a part time business. Plus I really hate to see small businesses and friends of mine lose out on not having a web site of some sort. If you are around 30 or younger, chances are that you rely on the Internet more than any other source of information. This makes the web site the most important form of communication and advertising. Even I end up double-checking my telephone directory listings on the Internet to see what kind of web site a business may have. Their web site ends up telling me more about their business than any other form of advertisement.

WebKeyDesign’s goals are simple. We want to help people communicate on the Internet by helping them publish their own site and help them maintain it, all for a reasonable price. The most important thing to remember is that what matters about a web site is the content; what you say, the message is what matters! The technical stuff, well, leave that to us.
