SeaMonkey is a free browser suite that has a WYSIWYG web page editor included. It is put out by the same people that put out the Firefox browser. It also has a nice email client and other features.

Mozilla Firefox has a sister program Seamonkey. It’s a suite of web applications including Mail, chat, Navigator (the web browser) and composer, a gui for constructing web pages. If you ever used Netscape or Mozilla back in the old days, it will be very very familiar, because the interface is exactly the same (Netscape begat Mozilla which begat Firefox and Seamonkey — firefox being just the Navigator component separated out). For something to play around with Seamonkey Composer is always good to use. Plus, frankly, and I don’t know how this happened, I’ve switched to it as the default browser on my laptop because while Firefox was better for a long time, sometime in the last two years Seamonkey became more efficient.

Open Source:

NVU (could be NUV)
Komposer

Several WYSIWYG web page creation programs are available on the Internet by doing a web search.

You could try a web site called Freebytes.

Nvu is now called Kompozer.

If it’s a computer science class in which you’re programming, though, shouldn’t you be handcoding instead of using a WYSIWYG program?

I’d recommend a text editor called Notepad++

It does syntax highlighting.
