Creating a Web Page using HomeSite

 

HomeSite is a Web authoring and management tool that requires some knowledge of HTML. HomeSite consists of an editor where you add text, links, images, tables, forms and other elements to your page. Homesite also has a Browse mode that will display the page as it would appear with a WWW browser.
