Nvu-- Free and Easy Web Design Software

This is the most powerful WYSIWYG HTML editor that I've tried, next to Dreamweaver. Plus Nvu's ease of use allows non-programmers to take their first steps in web design. And the fact that it's free doesn't hurt one bit, either!

[here's the corporate take on Nvu--edited for length]

Nvu - Web Authoring System for Linux, Macintosh & XP:

Nvu lets anyone create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML. Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") is an Open Source project started by Linspire, Inc. 

Nvu was started from the Mozilla Composer code base.  The Mozilla Internet suite is in the process of being broken up into individual pieces (browser, email, etc.).  Nvu will pick up where Composer left off, adding additional features, functionality and ease of use.

Linspire is committed exclusively to bringing Desktop Linux to the masses, and realized that an easy-to-use web authoring system was needed for Linux to continue its expansion to the Desktop.  Linspire contributes significant capital, expertise, servers, bandwidth, marketing, and other resources to guarantee the continuation and success of the Nvu project.  

Linspire is pleased to have been able to contract with Daniel Glazman from Disruptive Innovations to be the lead developer and maintainer for the Nvu project.  Daniel has been the chief architect for Mozilla Composer and brings a tremendous amount of experience and expertise to the Nvu project.  Other developers are also encouraged to get involved in this project."
