For that, I need a tool that is frequently updated with the latest standards, that can guide me along as I experiment and tweak things, and that offers me a way to actually learn. I do know enough to be dangerous, to be able to tweak the code on my own site as well as develop sites for others, but if you asked me to code a page by hand in HTML and make it look pretty with CSS, I will break out in a cold sweat. And I couldn’t be happier with what I found!Īs you read this review, keep in mind that I’m not an HTML/CSS developer.
I needed to move beyond Dreamweaver, and in my searches and trials of various HTML editors, I quite by chance discovered Pinegrow. While many WYSIWYG editors have popped up, allowing those of us with limited or mediocre editing skills to get by, coupled with the advent of WordPress and other CMS theming, there are many of us who find themselves trapped in sort of a purgatory – we are comfortable working with HTML/CSS but without tools, we struggle (e.g., just using a context-based text editor like TextWrangler or Atom) we don’t want a WYSIWYG editor because they don’t offer enough control, but coding by hand is just beyond the powers of our minds – and thus, we struggle to find that happy medium where we can tweak code by hand but also see the results real-time. But over the years, HTML and CSS have become increasingly complex.
For years, I have been a diehard user of Adobe Dreamweaver (heck, way back when it was a Macromedia product, I helped with the marketing launch).
