WYSIWYG+Web+Authoring+Tools

Introduction
HTML allows the web designer to create a web page exactly as they want. However, it can be cumbersome to learn HTML and it's often difficult to picture how a page will actually look in a browser.

WYSIWYG stands for **W**hat **Y**ou **S**ee **I**s **W**hat **Y**ou **G**et, and is pronounced wiz-ee-wig. In short, it means an editor which allows the designer to see what their finished web page will look like as it is being edited.

(Note: A word processor like MS Word is an example of a WYSIWYG program - what appears on the screen is what will appear on paper when it is printed)

WYSIWYG Tools
Your computer will have a WYSIWYG editor installed on the hard drive. On the Apple Macs, this will be iWeb. There are also a number of WYSIWYG web editors listed here.

Task
Look at at least 2 different WYSIWYG editors and decide which one you will use for your final project. Ask your teacher for advice if you are unsure which to select.
