Best Free Web Editor

|Bluefish
Simplicity is what I like most about this program; it does what you expect and that's it, there aren't a lot of unnecessary features. Other noteworthy aspects are the code snippet library and the ability to customize your own quick bar with the buttons from other bars that you use the most. It is very easy to use and very fast, unlike other web editors that are often slow. This web editor supports many languages such as: html/xhtml, css, js, php, c++, java, ruby, xml, and the best part is that we can access it for free without any payment or surcharge. BlueFish is a cross-platform application that works on most operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS-X, Windows, Solaris, and OpenBSD.

Simple editor for web design

|Bluefish
Bluefish is easy to use and allows you to quickly create simple sites of HTML and CSS content, perfect for static content sites such as websites of companies where you only want to show some information about the company and contact forms. Although the application is not bad, I must say that it must be used and understood as the objective of the application, which is to be a basic and simple web editor to perform simple tasks and not for the creation of advanced websites that include technologies such as php and MySQL database management.
