If you are the creative sort and enjoy putting your ideas on the web, then
Atrax 4.03 is an HTML editor that can make those ideas a reality. It installs in a flash
and is ready to go. For those of you with minimal memory resources, you are in luck,
because Atrax does not hog up RAM and bog down your system as some of the other web page
editors I have used. At first glance the various toolbars and menus were a bit
overwhelming, but the help files included with the software are so detailed and easy to
understand that I was soon creating pages like a mad woman within just a few minutes.
Atrax is a WYSIWYG editor that has the templates, menus and included graphics to make
designing an eye appealing page simple for the novice web publisher, and robust enough to
include such fancy details as ActiveX, Javascript, forms and tables without having to know
a lot of code. It uses drag and drop simplicity, making it simple to arrange or rearrange
the elements of each page, and has an instant publish button which creates then displays
each page in your web browser for your immediate viewing before having to upload it to the
website. The only peculiarity with the Atrax program is that when it saves a file, it
saves everything (the html pages, the graphics, etc) in its own file (.ax extension),
making it difficult, if not next to impossible, to then edit these pages from within
another editor. But the upside of this is that everything is right there in one file, and
uploads all at one time so you don't spend hours hunting down the various components
needed for each page. Also a nice touch is the fact that on their startup screen, they
actually invite users to submit comments and suggestions for future versions of the
program.
If you want to publish web pages that will get you noticed and make you proud of your
design, then give Atrax a try. Its quality rivals that of any of the other editors
currently out there, and in my humble opinion is far under rated. Atrax gives you a 30 day
evaluation period, which is more than enough time to adequately put the program through
its paces. Definitely worth a looksee, and... it made a believer out of me.
You can purchase this software from the company directly by several methods which are
explained at their website, by either credit card, check or money order.
