Download/HomepageAnd now for something completely different. If you could take all the
WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) features you liked best from a whole batch of web
editors, put 'em in a bag, shook 'em, sprinkled the user interface with Riven-esque
flavored graphics, you'd get Splash!
Splash! makes sheer sport out of web-page creation. Don't let the gamelike user interface
let you think for a moment it's not perfectly serious about HTML -- Splash! does ALL the
HTML (and Java too for that matter), and lets you have all the fun. It's drag-n-drop
editing at its best, every element of your web-page laid out in the unthreatening WYSIWYG
format reminiscent of a desktop publisher. Although it's always helpful to know what
formatting is required when putting together an HTML page, Splash! is without doubt easy
enough for a child to use. Yet there's enough feature flexibility for the more experienced
user to stretch out in. But HTML coding? no, you can view your source code, but hey we're
taking an HTML holiday here. All coders'll just have to go on auto-pilot while working
Splash, and what's the matter with a fun diversion once in awhile? Especially when it
could make you productive enough to put together an entire website over the weekend.
Splash has a well laid-out tool bar with all the basic layout controls you'd expect, a
cute little launch pad that looks like a TV-remote and contains easy-to-access
page-formatting functions while you work. Wizards step in to help you build tables and
forms, without CGI. And here's what's fun -- Splash! comes with over 20 plug-ins that make
Java applets for banners, animated text, navigation, sound effects, and things you hadn't
expected. Never a dull moment. More plug-ins are available on an ongoing basis from the
product website, as well as the Splash! Image Mapper (reviewed separately here).
This program is entirely delightful, well supported with product information as well as
resource material (e.g., links, clip art, etc) available at the web site. Splash! is free
to try for 21 days, fully functional, with a "trial" banner that appears on the
program logo. During the trial period, you may opt for free product support -- just sign
up while installing the program. Support is offered to registered users. For details on
ordering, refer to the product web site.
