    Best freeware Web authoring tool

    Is there a modern Web authoring tool to rival Microsoft FrontPage 2003 but one that is freeware (or shareware at a reasonable cost)?

    I'm looking for something that can produce WYSIWYG Web pages and show me the HTML behind them, allowing me to add applets, scripts, etc.

    I already have MS Office 2007 Enterprise on my PC and the nearest app that can do Web stuff is MS Publisher but that's not quite what i'm after.

    I use kompozer for occasional web authoring. It works well enough for my needs. Check it out, its a freeware too

    http://www.netobjects.com/html/essentials.html - covers pretty much all of what you need?

    NVU is essentially kompozer. But NVU's development has stopped and the new releases are under the name of kompozer.

    I use Visual Web Developer 2008 Express part of the Visual Studio 2008 Express suite of applications from Microsoft. I find it very easy to use and free!
