2008 Edition Version Now Available! 

         
The complete web authoring system to rival programs like Macromedia's Dreamweaver, Microsoft's FrontPage & the very new Microsoft Sharepoint Designer without the very high cost.
 

Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML.  Nvu includes an integrated ftp Site Manager. 

Because Nvu is built based on the award winning Gecko rendering engine that also powers "Firefox" web browser (also included on CD), every moment  is a LIVE PREVIEW.

What you see is truly what you get.

  • Tabbed editing to make working on multiple pages a snap.
  • Powerful support for forms, tables, and templates.
  • The easiest-to-use, most powerful Web Authoring System available for Desktop Linux, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh users.

The very best technology inside     Mozilla logo

Nvu is based on Gecko, the layout engine inside Mozilla ; it's a super-fast, very reliable, standards conformant engine maintained on a daily basis by a wide community of developers. Its remarkable support of XML, CSS and JavaScript offers the best authoring platform on the market. Its architecture based on XUL makes it the most extensible editing tool ever.
Just like Mozilla Firefox or Mozilla Thunderbird , respectively the new browser and the new mail user agent by Mozilla.org, Nvu is a standalone tool. It means it runs independently of any other Gecko-based tool and does not contain the other applications from the Mozilla Application Suite. Hence its small size and its fast speed.
FTP site manager
With Nvu, all the sites you have specified in your Publishing Settings become browseable in a sidebar. You can get a tree view of a site, à la Explorer's folders pane, or a one-dir-only view, à la Explorer's directory view. It is also possible to filter files and show all files, or only HTML documents or image files. The browsing area also allows to show for each file its size and the date of last modification.

In the near future, one will be able to remove a file, create a new directory or remove an existing directory.  
A new Colour Picker
A new colour picker
Composer was far behind other HTML editors and offered only a very basic color picker. Nvu has a new extended colorpicker, more conformant to what KDE users are used to. Set a color from its red blue and green components, or its hue saturation and brightness. Or just use your mouse to pick up the color you want
CSS editor
CaScadeS, the well-known CSS editor add-on to Mozilla Composer, is integrated into Nvu. Create stylesheets easily and manage the styles attached to your documents. Full-powered by Gecko, of course, you can see your style settings applied '"live" to the document you're editing.

CaScadeS, the CSS editor, was designed to allow inline styling of arbitrary elements without having to create a stylesheet. With Nvu, right-click on any element in the hierarchical toolbar at the bottom of the window and set directly its style properties.

For the time being, only font and border properties are available that way, but we'll extend that first set to all the CSS properties known by CaScadeS in the near future. 


Cleaner markup
That's only a beginning but Nvu contains some machinery to get rid of most of those annoying <br> we used to see in Composer. Combined with the ability to call W3C's HTML validator from within Nvu - and in the future to call to W3C's CSS validator - you'll make valid, clean documents. And to be sure about it, we will integrate a real markup cleaner to Nvu in the near future.

Is Nvu a clone of Microsoft's FrontPage and/or Macromedia's Dreamweaver?
FrontPage and Dreamweaver are popular HTML editors for MS Windows.  These programs have become popular because they make web design extremely easy, even for non-technical people.  Nvu is not an exact clone of either of these products, but it does contain many of the same easy-to-use features which makes these programs so popular. Users familiar with either of these two products will feel right at home using Nvu. 
Who is Nvu best suited for?
Nvu is designed to be extremely easy to use.  This makes it ideal for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive, professional-looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding.  Nvu allows you to create web pages as easily as you would type a word processing document, and then publish them to your web site just by saving the document.  This makes it ideal for home use, students, marketing professionals, general business use, and so on.  Even though it's designed for the novice web designer, Nvu is also ideal for experienced web programmers who want to save time in creating content or web design.  Because you can quickly toggle between the WYSIWYG editing mode and the HTML code mode, just by changing tabs, Nvu is also ideal for those wishing to learn HTML programming, as they can easily observe the interaction between the HTML code and what a user will see in their web browser.  The bottom line is that Nvu is ideal for anyone who wants to quickly create web pages.

Open Source Software

"Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer."
 
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

Nvu Web Editor is free in both senses mentioned above. Since the software on the CD is distributed under an open source license, it really is free (as in speech). Once you receive your CD, you are free to install it on as many computers as you like. (don't try this with Microsoft software, folks)
