iWeb is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for Macs. When dragging editable objects, iWeb automatically snaps the user to any other objects in the document. This makes for easy laying out of pages. It also has a very clean and simple user interface, with just a sidebar containing the pages that are loaded and a toolbar at the bottom which allows the user to edit the basic page style and add objects to it.  | |||
