The HTML editor is usually a webpage design software that has a GUI(graphic user interface) which makes it easier to design a webpage using the File Menus. This is good for the non-programmers and non-technical people.
There are lots of software for web page design, like MS Frontpage, Dreamweaver which are widely used. however, there are lots of web page design software you can buy.
I prefer Ms Frontpage because I learned it and got it for free when I took my web design certificate at Education direct school.
There is another way to edit and build web pages beside using a software. If you are a programmer, and know how to code HTML, you can use any text editor like notepad to edit or build a webpage.
Just open a notepad window, and type the html code, and save it as .html file instead of .txt extension. This is it, you created a webpage.
Please note as the webpage becomes more complicated and has many
files of different types, building a webpage from raw html code will be a daunting task. Even if you are a programming, and know how to write with HTML code, it well take lots of effort, time, and aggravation to build a webpage of little complexity.
So, in your case, it is a wise decision to buy a software with graphic interface in order to learn faster and be more productive.
Even with a software, it will take a while and lots of practice to be comfortable with building web pages.
As a beginner, there is an excellent solution to building your own web pages ,without knowing any HTML codes, and without even buying any software I was mentioning before.
Here is the solution:
Some web hosting service providers offer with your web hosting account, what is called as web page templates.
Usually the cost is very reasonable, and many times you can pick a hosting package that includes web page templates.
That only costs couple dollars per month unless your web hosting provider is charges more than most web hosts providers.
A webpage / website template is a wizard like application where you fill in text, images, files in few steps and when you click finish, you web page will be ready.
