Namo Webeditor 5.5 A full suite of tools, Excellent results., 9 Feb 2004
As somebody who builds web sites for a living, I have been looking for and trying out, just about every web editor I can lay my hands on. I have been longing for a company to bring out an economical way to create WYSIWYG pages, without the price tag of "Dreamweaver", or "Adobe Go-live" etc. Namo web editor 5.5 is a "suite of applications" well integrated, to do the job AND do it well. As too many JavaScripts and Flash (type) effects, are being frowned upon in the "right way to build a web site" oppinions of Internet Gurus, it isnt necessary to create websites with lots bangles and bells, any longer. A clean "solid" web site is what businesses want now. Namo 5.5 will deliver that for you, if you learn to use it properly. I have used FrontPage, for many of my contracts and have found that Namo can do Nearly, what FrontPage does in WYSIWYG. It also saves time and doesnt take too much time to update the changes as they fall due, using the built in ftp facility.The templates are again nearly adequate. However, if Namo LISTEN to their customers and bring in more templates and better ones, upgrade and firm up the soft points, this application will become a real runner, in the web editing race. Especially if they keep their price as it is now. You who buy from Amazon are also gaining a few more £s or $s, as there is a further price advantage worth having. I have purchased nearly all of my software through Amazon, because they deliver fast and have the integrity to change orders if things arent 100%. Thanks Amazon. Finally, I would say, go for it with Namo web editor 5.5. Its a great product. Spend time reading the manuel and keep the built in Help manual open, if you need to. Its huge, and very helpful. Actually there isnt anything missing from this product at all. It just needs to grow up a bit.

Easy and powerful + most bang for the bucks :-), 20 Sep 2003
I have been using different web-editors, code oriented as well as WYSWYMG (might get), and didn't find the perfect tool before trying Namo Web Editor. Now, I believe Namo is a korean company, which might be part of the explanation of why Web Editor isn't as popular as it deserves: it is powerful, it will save you time, efforts and money. My advice is to give it a try, get a trial version and find out wheter it suits your needs.One word of warning: coders and pro-likes will yell "notepad is the only thing you need", as the broadening of an easier way to produce e.g. homepages would treaten the zen-like appeal on the masses of the "computer genious hitting about 95.000 keys at the minute". In the mean while, there's still an army of frustrated people who's still looking for a web editor to be: affordable intuitive yet powerful loaded with ready-made templates Well, this is what you get with Namo. I find it very intuitive, and you'll find yourself quickly outputting nice pages in a truly WYSIWYG environment (with the option to shift to HTML view for manual code editing). Creating a layout for your page is really piece of cake with the (almost)unique layout grid, where you literally draw squares as the elements of your final layout, move the squares around with your mouse until they are placed where you wish and finally let the program convert your layout into code, that actually is fairly neat. Making more advanced things, as rollover effects, scrolling menues, image slideshows and alike is really no hassle thanks to the premade javascripts effects following with the program, as well as layers support. This two capabilities remind of the more powerful (and far more complex, not to mention pricey) Dreamweaver by Macromedia. In one word, Namo Web Editor is the kind of application you will grow with. On the minus side, templates are absolutely unimpressive, Namo has to work on them for future releases, but I think they will do the job for the home user wishing to get his personal site by running the wizard and editing the templates. At the end of the day the price is more than fair, actually kind of bargain, as you get a very powerful all-in -one solution (did I mention that it has a basic vector drawing tool, an image slicer and an FTP module?). Sure, if you can afford say Corel Draw and/or Paintshop Pro you'll get better results and more features, but, again, if you are on a budget, Namo Web Editor is the one giving you most bang for the bucks.

waiting for 6.0, 8 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Version 6.0 has been available for some time on the US site (www.amazon.com). I've tried the one month trial download and it's expired... still waiting for the box to available here.The manuals appear to be particularly useful. One of the biggest improvements over 5.5 is the split screen HTML/WYSIWYG mode, so you can see both raw HTML and the results at the same time (as does Dreamweaver).
