Pagemill 1.0 is marginal, depending on the level of coding you want to
produce. Version 2.0 is supposed to be out soon, and is expected to create
better html code and also support tables.
Pagemill 1.0 is good for students who want to get a project out on the web,
or anyone who wants to put together a simple page quickly. It converts
files to gif just by dragging them onto the page.
The code it creates is not well written in terms of html style (using two
<br> commands in a row instead of a <p>) and puts it in a form that is not
easy to edit or read. It also breaks some fundamental html rules, but still
displays properly with Netscape (but may not with other browsers).
It is worth the cost of the package just for the easy with which you can
convert graphics to gif, and apply transparancy and interleaving, as well
as colored backgrounds.
It is one of the tools in my html development package, but most of my work
is done with BBEdit. I am also waiting for Claris HomePage to be released
at the end of this summer. I saw a demo of it at NECC, and it looks more
functional and easier to use than Pagemill.
