Customer Reviews of SJ Namo WebEditor 6 Suite

MINUS 10 STARS MIGHT RATE THIS ONE
BIG SIGH. Bought Namo WebEditor6 just 2 days ago. Seemed to run fine. Then voila. Problem after problem. Too many to list and so frustrated now I just want to chuck it. This thing crash and burns more than Zeros in TORA! TORA! TORA! Words won't wrap or just the opposite. Theyruntogetherlikethis. The java buttons tend to replace eachother so your links are all messed up. A waste of money...and FrontPage is wayyy too expensive. So, I thought I'd try NAMO. How messed up could it be? I thought. Well, I'll tell ya that you don't want to know. Save your money. Even the manuals print is kind of shoddy. This thing is a POS. Nice box though.

Namo is Lamo - Bugs Bugs & MORE Bugs
Amazon should allow us to vote ZERO stars. <
> <
>Please do NOT purchase this software. While it has many desireable features at an affordable price it is not worth the money. It is a simple program to master but it has a great deal of software problems that NAMO acknowledges but refuses to do anything about. Customer service with NAMO is non-existant. <
> <
>WebEditor crashes -- a lot. I checked the NAMO site forum (...) and found that many users have multiple complaints of bugs with this software. For example, paragraphs often don't wrap and have to be totally reconstructed in another software and cut and pasted back into the editor. It removes spacing and spontaneously changes line spacing. While I have never crashed when working strictly in the HTML mode, the program constantly crashes and loses data while working in the WYSIWYG editor mode -- and WYSI NOT What you get. What you see in the "preview" is rarely what you see once your site is published. Columns shift, spacing disappears, etc. <
> <
>When you are in a table, if you try to block highlight a paragraph including the font tag of the previous paragraph and hit delete you will crash your software program every single time. Not good for when you are moving things around or cutting and pasting. <
> <
>Another problem with the software is that for no apparent reason users get a "cannot read memory" error specifically linked to the NAMO software (it even asks if you wish to debug NAMO WE 6.0) Ha. Another funny is thing is that when you go to the NAMO site to try and email a complaint they have bugs in their own website! <
> <
>What you might save in time (easy to learn) and money you will more than pay for in countless hours of frustration and lost data. Trust me, you will end up tossing NAMO out and going out and ubying something else instead.

It's OK But It's Not Perfect
I have used Namo WebEditor for two or three years, starting with version 5, then 5.5, then 6. The reviews here seem to be either raves or trashes. <
>Namo is a good product but it has deficiencies. I found no bugs in versions 5 and 5.5 but 6 had a few, particularly in loading pages made with 5 or 5.5. I installed the patch and have had few problems since. I keep 5.5 on the machine if I need it. <
>There are a few things that don't work well so I've been thinking of buying Dreamweaver. I would have by now if (1) it were reasonably priced, and (2) it were not so difficult to learn. The other programs in the Namo suite are buggy or of little value. Posts on the Namo website forum repeatedly trash the product support. I've not had to use it but I've had bad experiences with support from Dell, Microsoft and other companies. Does anyone have good support any more? <
>Some of Namo Web Editor's plusses: (1) There are four viewing modes; Dreamweaver has three. To preview in DW you must save, open a browser and load the file in that. In Namo you can preview by clicking a tab. (2) There are built-in scripts (javascript) that are easy to use. Some don't work right. (3) There are many sample pages that you can modify and use. I think the designs are awful. (4) There is a fair collection of clip art, photos, graphics and other items that can be used in your pages. The buttons can be edited for color, text, size, etc. (5) Namo's window can be sized to the most common screen settings (eg. 600 X 800 etc.) so you can easily know how much of the page won't be seen by people who set screen resolution for large displays. <
>I have not found above items 2, 4 and 5 in my uses of Dreamweaver. I don't think they are available in Dreamweaver. <
>I have made many pages with Namo, accept its shortcomings, and have no problems with it. Maybe I've been lucky as far as the bugs are concerned. <
>A new version (Web Editor 2006) is shipping and is being roundly trashed in the forums on the Namo website. Apparently it is not much different from version 6, and has several bugs. <
>I will continue using and enjoying Namo 6 (with 5.5 on standby) until I have learned more about Dreamweaver and can buy a leftover prior version at a reasonable price. I've downloaded Dreamweaver's 30-day trial three times and am only now starting to feel comfortable with it. It does have a good tutorial but there is a lot to learn. <
>If you are considering buying Namo, look at Dreamweaver and Netobjects Fusion 8 as well. Trial versions are available from all three (go to the respective website). Dreamweaver is the most complex and most difficult to learn; Fusion is probably the easiest to learn, by far, but Namo may do more. <
>If Namo installs properly, works well and you can learn it, it will do a great job for you. If you are a beginner, get "HTML for Dummies" along with whatever program you get.
