Review:

I found this program to be very easy to use and it didn't require a lot out of my computer, so I was able to use it with other programs running.

With its HTML tidy, it helps you to stop bloating your code with lines that aren't needed. The HTML and CSS validator allow you to stop using depreciated (out-dated) code, which may not render in some browsers. Professional and experienced developers refer to bloated and depreciated as "Internet Polution", so let's stop it in its tracks using TopStyle Pro.

If you've been on the Internet long, you've likely dipped your toes into the world of websites and as a beginner, building a website from scratch can seem like a daunting task. If you're just learning HTML and CSS, I highly recommend this program. It is a little pricey, but it is well worth it.

Learn how to write HTML and CSS the right way - using the W3 standards. When you are writing your code in this program, it will automatically close all of your HTML tags - this is something a lot of first time HTML developers forget to do!

Another thing new HTML developers will forget is a "DTD" tag; a Document Type Declaration tag. This program also adds a Document Type Declaration at the top of your HTML file when a new file is created. Why is this good? Well, a Document Type Declaration tag tells Internet browsers what kind of language the website is using. Without the tag, some browsers will display your web page incorrectly and your website will not look the same to all visitors!

The layout of the program may take a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, you will be creating new websites in the blink of an eye.

While you write your code, you can preview your work in the bottom of the program window. The preview can be displayed using a number of web browsers (FireFox, Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc) - just select the web browser of your choice and watch as your website takes shape.

Stop dipping your toes in the world of websites, and jump right in - this program will help you on your way.

Conclusion:

I would recommend this program to both new and experienced website developers.
