Web Design / HTML Web Design / HTML Design Basics Learn HTML CSS XML Awards From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML Testing is always important, and Alexander's latest article explains when you should test and what browsers and versions you should use. This week you'll also learn about using the background-clip and background-origin CSS3 properties. And I've reviewed a no-code editor that even professional web designers can use. There are hundreds, if not thousands of different web editors available for you to use. I have a script to help you find the perfect web page editor, but sometimes it's easier to see reviews of editors by other people and decide based on their opinions. I have received several new web editor reviews from other About.com readers. Some interesting ones that have just come in include: PageBreeze 4.0d Yahoo!

This is a "no-code" editor--an editor that doesn't require you to know any HTML or CSS to use. And as such it is perfect for small businesses and individuals that want to put up a website but don't want to worry about learning the languages behind it. Even some web design firms will be happy with the sites that are built by Xara Web Designer MX because they are fully standards compliant.
