"A Good Program If..."
...you can accept it "as is" with no hope of customer service.

When the company was owned and operated in Korea, customer service was great. When I was having a problem they even checked my web pages and told me what the problem was. (It wasn't their editor.)

Then they were bought out by an American company. Not only did customer service drop to zero, but the next version was so unstable (at least on my computer) that it couldn't be used. I'll take a wild guess and say that there was pressure to release it prematurely.

The latest incarnation is much better, although it still occasionally crashes.

Sad to say, some things should stay "off shore."

"Crashes and no tech-support"
I will say, this program did give me what I wanted, but when it came time to actually save what I was working on (what an idea, eh!), the program crashed.

Thankfully, the files are still there, but what good are the files when it wont let me save the navigation tree that actually assigns all of the links.

Oh yeah, I don't reccommend creating your own images, good luck with that. It only saves them when it feels like it so be ready to recreate the same images over and over.

Now you'd say, get in contact with technical support. Well, they don't have an e-mail and the only way to call them is to call Korea. It's been six months since I started working on my website and dealing with all of the crashes. It originally took me 6 hours to get all the pages together, updated, etc.

"No tech support for a product that doesn't work. "
Namo may have a great product if only I could use it. Their tech support is non-existent. The product is billed as an easy WYSIWYG program ideal for first time web editors. That's me. I'm proficient on basic computer use and have used Netscape's composer successfully in the past, but I don't know HTML and have never used a higher end editing program.

The manual looks pretty good at first. It is annoying to read through 4 sentences explaining what a cursor is, but it does suggest that they are starting from the beginning for first time users. The problem is two-fold. First, they skip steps. There is great information on setting up your site tree and great information on laying out pages, but nothing on how to get from your site tree to the screan that will lay out the pages. Lots of omissions like that. Maybe a more experienced editor could figure it out. Secondly, the program doesn't do what it says it will do. Again with the site tree, the Help menu says if you click on one of the pages listed on your site tree, it will open the page. Sounds great, but it doesn't happen.

The real problem is tech support - there isn't any. There is a phone number in the manual that is not working. On the web site, the support page has a picture of three smiling people in head-sets - this is a cruel joke. There are no phone numbers unless you count the one for South Korea. They have a forum for questions that are supposed to get answered by their support people. I've been waiting for an answer for 5 days. Nothing. Furthermore they don't even tell you where to look for an answer - will they email it or do you have to go back on the site and check in? I've tried both. I also emailed their sales and PR people since those were the only direct emails available - nothing.

Bottom line - I think this could be a great progam if they worked on the kinks, fixed the manual, and had good teck support. As it is, I'm just grateful that the store where I bought it is going to let me exchange the open box.

"Gives even newbies real flexibility"
I had practically no experience in building web pages (had only used a basic web building tool that offered very limited options in placement of text, images, etc.)

I won't say I was able to start building right out of the box. I had to spend a number of hours with the manual and program to find out how it worked and what you can do with it. I must say that I am very impressed. I've just scratched the surface of its' features and am quite satisfied. One buggy thing I've noticed on my machine: if I add a "buy now", credit card logo, cart contents button etc. to my page; layout cells containing a background image are shortened. You can adjust the layout cells' size, but say if the image is 750 px wide you now need to add width to the cell (say 780 px) to get it to display the 750 px image. The problem I've found with this is that it now displays differently in different browswers.

I've also had difficulty trying to access Namo's forum. While using IE I couldn't post because of corrupt ActiveX; I switched to Fx and now I can't post because ActiveSquare is not properly installed.

Conclusion? If I had the time to learn html I would consider going that route, as it probably yields a cleaner, more bug-free page. But I don't have that time, and based on my limited experience I'd say that this web editor allows even "wet-behind-the-ears" newbies to create very professional looking sites.

"Has it all and then some!"
This is simply the best HTML editor out there - hands down. I've been building commercial sites for several years now and used Dreamweaver and Frontpage. WebEditor toasts both of them when you compare features. Has a TON of templates, built in Clipart database Script wizards, etc.. Dreamweaver for example, can't do something as simple as make cell widths of a table evenly spaced without jumping through hoops (that is after you modified the cell widths). WebEditor does it with one click. You can add and remove cells with drawing tool!.
The bottom line is that it just cuts the building time in half.

"WebEditor 6" was buggy and should be avoided, but this new version "WebEditor 2006" is rock solid.

What our customer's say!

"Ideal for a hobbiest on a budget", The problem with Namo is that bugs abound in their software and there is poor customer service. The bugs that I have encountered are so inconsistent that it is really hard to say what causes them to occur. It seems that every so often a rollover goes dead. There is also a problem with saving different changes of files under different names... etc etc. If you go online for help -the moderators are likely to answer a question that you didn't ask and close the issue immediately.

However, despite the bugs -this webeditor is well priced. If you persevere through all the issues and learn a little manual HTML -you will have a working website.

However I must stress that if this were my only tool for mantaining and updating a website -I would seek another one. This is not a professional product and more suited for someone who is learning about websites.

"Pluses and Minuses", I started with v. 5, used 5.5 and 6, and am trying the 2006 demo to see what's really different.
The pluses: This is easier to learn and far cheaper than Dreamweaver and has features Dreamweaver does not, built-in scripts being one of them.
The minuses: As many say, I found there is no customer support. My current version, (6) blows up every now and again, when deleting something. Also, sometimes when working in WYSIWYG mode it will sometimes start throwing in hard spaces ( ) between words which means they will not wrap.
They recently released or are about to release "WebEditor Professional." In the Namo forum, one of their alleged support techs said it is not an upgrade, just a repackaging. Another forum user says v. 6 is unstable and 2006 is good. I just have not seem much change from 6 to 2006 so I have not bought it yet.
I bought an OEM of DreamweaverMX real cheap when they came out with the next edition and still find it to be a steep learning curve and lacking in features that Namo has. I seldom use Dreamweaver.


"Don't bother with it on Vista... better yet, don't bother.", I downloaded their Vista patch, which says it fixes a problem where Vista reboots when the program is installed. Not launched. INSTALLED.

Of course, installing the patch fails because it says the program isn't installed.

Guess what happened when I tried installing, because I assumed the wording was due to imperfect Korean->English translation? It rebooted.

No, it seems the linguistics were just fine. The logic of the programmers still leaves a lot to be desired, however. I had used this product 'successfully' on XP, but agree with the other commenters here about stability and poor customer support.

Not to mention the program does generate a LOT of bloat. FrontPage may be Microsoft-centric, but the bloat isn't as asphyxiating as Namo's offering... especially with CSS... (FrontPage ignores it; Namo's needs manual tweaking or else it'll repeat every CSS entry...)

"Easy to Use Web Publisher", I have used Namo WebEditor since v 5.5. For the money, I think this a fast, easy, dependable editor. For my modest site editing needs it is every bit as capable as Dreamweaver. I have also tried DW, FP, Nvu, GoLive, and Mozilla, plus a couple of others I can't recall (that's how memorable they were). IMHO, WebEditor 2K6 Rocks!

The multiple interface (Edit, Html, or edit/html) make designing your web site easy whether you like drag-and-drop or using code.

In "Edit" mode the word processor-like interface makes web page design drag-and-drop simple. (And easier than working in Word at times.)

If you prefer to use code, you can do that too. You can also use a split screen to see the code as you create.

Despite what some reviewers have said, this program is rock solid on my computer. I have never had it crash, and the FTP client included works flawlessly.

I can't comment on the Tech Support, because I have never needed it. The help screens are all that I've needed. (I don't have the manual, because I downloaded my copy from Namo.) BTW - I always save a copy of downloaded progs and serial nos. separate from my operating system drive, and burn them to a CD...just in case.

If you are looking for a modestly priced web editor with lots of capability, I think you should give this one a try.

"Longtime Namo User -- JUNK - NO SUPPORT", I bought Namo 5.5 several years ago when I needed support for non-Latin alphabets to do a Russian website. I gradually used it to change my various sites (about 22). Recently I noticed a HUGE flaw in WebEditor 2006 and it is also in Namo 6--Global Search & Replace adds a space after EVERY double quote (ASCII 34). Even if that is not what you are replacing! What is the reason? Internally, instead of storing & quot; it only stores & quot (SOMETIMES). I have one site with over a HUNDRED pages. GS&R screwed up almost ONE-THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED double quotes! Today I found a spelling error (on every page) and tried to use GS&R. It screwed up the double quotes again, so I loaded the backup and I'll have to change them all manually. On the plus side, when I finally got disgusted of trying to get a response from Namo, which has had my tech support request on this "in progress" for 2 months, I looked at several other editors and didn't find anything better in this price range. My advice? If you are doing a simple website and don't need templates, etc., (which don't work so well with Namo anyway), download Netscape 7.2 for free, which includes and HTML editor. Regarding Namo's built-in templates, most of them are terrible although they are signficantly improved over Namo 6. They're fine if you want to produce a personal website but they just don't look professional. Regarding the free WebCanvas graphics editor, if you can figure out how to use it, I'd sure like to know. You can download WE2006 from Namo's website, which should convince you to look elsewhere.

"Don't expect support and ignore their money back guarantee", This piece of software is for people who know very little html. If you have even the slightest knowledge you can produce faster and better websites yourself in other programs. The box claims 100s of templates and other useful features. It just fails to mention these come only if you pay monthly fees.

I was tempted to try it only because it has a 30 day money back guarantee on the box. Well ignore this you can't return this product as no one answers emails, faxes, or phone calls to authorise the return.

My advice is to stay well clear.

"Product Good, Tech Support Awful", Well I love Namo products and have been using them since Webeditor 5. The programs are the best out there. They blow Micrrosoft Frontpage and Dreamweaver out of the water. However Namo's tech support is practically non existent. They don't answer their phone, faxing for help is bad, and the email method is just as bad. Your emails are answered about two weeks later, as is the same with the fax method. One very important word of advice though. Do not download and buy Namo right from Namo's website. (namo.com) If your computer crashes and you lose everything, which happened to me, it will take you two weeks for them to respond with the link to where you can download your Namo version that you paid for. They have private links for those who need another copy of Namo, and you will get it, but it will take about two weeks and in that time your site will be out of commission and you won't be able to edit it. Not good if you run a store or any kind of ecommerce. Buy Namo in hard copy instead of buying the downloadable version so you can reinstall right after your crash and you have gotten the computer back up and running. I bought my hard copy at Amazon and am always pleased with Amazon's service. The copy I bought was on sale. I also did an overnight because I have to constantly edit my website stores. It was cheaper to buy it at Amazon and overnight it than it was to buy it directly at Namo. I also trust Amazon because if anything goes wrong, you can call and inquire about your order. You can't do that with Namo. I would have rated this 5 stars because Namo products are the best out there for creating websites, but it's the almost non existent tech support and contacting Namo that bring the rating down to 4 stars. As long as you buy a hard copy and not the downloadable form, then you should be fine. Anything besides a computer crashing and needing a new copy will be covered at Namo's help forum where there are lots of wonderful people who are always willing to help you through a problem.

"Just what I needed", Works flawlessly, easy to use for most jobs, has many more features if you care to explore. The printed manual is a nice thing to have for a product like this.
I use Namo WebEditor 2006 to import and edit existing pages, even ones with external CSS. The WYSIWYG edit feature is good, I like the split screen edit/html, and the ease to switch between views.


"Namo Web Editor 2006 Suite", I have played with most of the popular WYSWYG web site building applications and Namo by far has the most potential. I am looking forward to doing some serious work with it.

"Excellent printed manual", One of the nicest things about this product is the user manual. Not only does it come with a printed manual, but it is VERY well written. It explains the program well and is also very educational (at least for someone with my own background). I would say I am a novice, rather than a beginner at web pages (having written primitive html code, but never used layers, frames, and so forth). I am enjoying learning from the manual about all the features of html and its extensions, as well as about the program.
