Helen's Website Editor

Easily make edits to a web page

 

If you've had a website made for you and want to make small updates without concerning yourself with HTML or other technical things then this is for you. Or maybe you're a developer who has made a site for a client and wants to give them a very easy way to make small updates. This makes it as easy as possible to open up a page, make edits and save.

• WYSIWYG editor
• Simple to use
• Type and format text. Insert tables, lists, images
• copy and paste from TextEdit, Pages etc
• If you are more web-savvy you can insert web headings, paragraphs and divs using classes from your stylesheet
• Opens the page from the server and saves it directly back
• Edit your stylesheet and some meta tags
• Keeps a history of edits, easy to restore a previous version

All you need is your ftp server's name or IP address, a username and password. After that you can browse your pages and open them for editing directly from the server and save it right back. No messing about with creating or synchronising local folders.

NB The concept of this app is that it opens and saves the remote copy directly. There is no local copy unless you want to maintain one yourself.

* This version is beta. That means that you get to use it for free but at your own risk, and there may still be bugs to be found. If you find a bug or would like to suggest an enhancement, contact support@peacockmedia.software

Limitations:
