"CoffeeCup - Great Program, Difficult for Beginners"

2.5/5

What do you like best about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

I am still new to CoffeeCup, but I love that CoffeeCup offers a wide variety of products that will assist in web development. While I am still learning how everything functions, it seems like a great program for someone who is looking for an easier way to create a website that doesn't require extensive coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

As a beginner, I have had many moments of feeling so frustrated that I can't do what I want. I have built websites in the past that look great using different platforms and this has by far been the hardest. I definitely think that is because I am not a web designer, so I am missing some of the knowledge that I think might be very beneficial to have when working on a system like this. So, from a beginner's perspective, this may not be the best option. I've been camping out on the help forums, watching tutorials, and resisting throwing my computer at the wall some days haha. All a part of the learning process, I guess! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CoffeeCup HTML Editor:

I would only recommend CoffeeCup to someone who has some web design experience and feels comfortable with some level of coding. As a complete beginner, I feel like I've jumped in over my head and know for a fact there are other website options out there that would be much simpler for me to build off of. (I've used Squarespace before and had a great experience creating a website that I've had many compliments on and use for my personal business). However, I think for someone with more of a base knowledge of web design than I do, this program may be a great fit! It falls into a more affordable price range than some, so that is definitely helpful if you are on a stricter budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeeCup HTML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am helping redesign a VERY outdated website. I look forward to creating a fresh look, and think that there are some feature of CoffeeCup that can help with this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CoffeeCup Editor - A beautiful editor for everything HTML"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

CoffeeCup HTML Editor is a beautiful editor which makes it easy to create HTML files. This editor is especially made for creating HTML files using drag and drop approach. Beginners to HTML will love this editor for its easy to use approach. The best thing is you need not worry if you don't remember HTML syntax. The tool generates most of the HTML tags for you. You just need to fill in the content part.

Another thing which is really helpful is the Live Preview feature. As you code, you can also see a live preview of the webpage right in the editor.

Supports creation of CSS files too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as the functionality is concerned, there is nothing which I could dislike in the CoffeeCup Editor.

"Easy to use HTML Editor"

4/5

What do you like best about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

CoffeeCup HTML Editor is a freeware tool, which makes it easy to develop web pages using HTML/CSS. Installation of the software on a Windows PC was equally easy. Live Preview of a web page is a handy feature provided by the tool.

Most of the tags are auto-generated, which makes the development of web pages quickly, leading to faster deployment of websites. Its now possible to deliver websites quickly, making the clients happier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

The tool should be enhanced to integrate back-end server integration. For instance, the deployment of PHP web application will make the tool much more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This HTML editor helped me start on my design journey"

2.5/5

What do you like best about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

When I started using it, the app didn't have templates or anything fancy like that. But I was told it was a great replacement for my then-Windows PC Notepad software. I was just starting out learning HTML. The app has changed greatly since then and yet in the most important ways it's stayed stable and the same. I had been using Dreamweaver as well but wanted to challenge myself to code without a visual crutch (though that option was also possible with Dreamweaver). CoffeeCup is a much more simple application that does allow previews, something I came to rely on. I also loved the file manager as it was much more simplistic than the heavy-resource-sucking Dreamweaver. I found it to be very easy to start using right after install and other than stumbling over some of my own then-lacking CSS and HTML knowledge, I didn't find myself having to search to use any of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeCup HTML Editor?

The free version does not allow some features like a basic spell-checker and the interface could use some sprucing up. These days the application seems like it's more for those doing coding as a hobby and doesn't offer the real in-depth features needed for professional use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CoffeeCup HTML Editor:

If you are someone who enjoys a basic editor that loads fast but wants the bells and whistles of pre-made templates then I would say this is for you. The components library is something that I have found sometimes very useful and other times not at all. I think it just depends on what you, the designer and coder are seeking. These days they have tried to compete more directly with Dreamweaver, a subscription-based application by Adobe. I would at least recommend someone try CoffeeCup if you want a much cheaper option with at least similar features. I already subscribe to Adobe so I don't have need for Coffee Cup but it's not a bad editor (and not the best either). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeeCup HTML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I did have some crashing issues for some time that I couldn't ever get resolved either on my own or by reaching out for support. I also had some bugs happen with FTP connection and I did not have those same connectivity issues with any other coding software at the time. What CoffeeCup did do though for me was provide a fairly fast-behaving app that I could bring up in a snap to make changes to my static websites. I haven't had much success even attempting to use their templates or other "fancy" features. The version I had installed up until about a year ago was the basic mimimalistic app that may even be somewhat nostalgic for me. I have to admit that nowadays if I need an editor I DO reach for Dreamweaver instead. It's bulky but one cannot beat the feature-rich newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeeCup HTML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

At work we use it when the projects we've need to do with web development, also because of the development of apps where we insert the codes we write with this program, its error stopping is extremely good which has saved us time and energy, about Everything once we have a brief delivery limit on our projects, during this case, it's useful for both editing HTML and PHP, the program is extremely good to figure with the design sheets and therefore the designs that we are reviewing seeing the previews, the choice of auto-complete between possible codes helps us tons, either to scale back times to recollect the codes that we are inserting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe I could list a con if my use of it was more diverse and consistent. It does everything and more for my purposes, and in ways I Iike very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CoffeeCup HTML Editor:

My typical use is to edit HTML and CFM pages from prior projects, and use them to create new ones. So, I rarely use the tools for designing pages provided in this application. I have found the ability to preview a page very useful. I am aware of numerous features in this editor, that simpler editors would not provide. It has proven to be a great fit for my use.

What problems is CoffeeCup HTML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

This editor certainly saves time in reducing my need to know and/or check coding minutiae. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
