About

BlueGriffon is a freemium, open-source HTML editor originating from France, built upon the Mozilla rendering engine. It offers a comprehensive suite of web development tools, including WYSIWYG HTML editing, CSS editing, a page builder, and an Ebook Editor with EPUB support, notably featuring a built-in SVG editor and support for CSS3 features. Available across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms, BlueGriffon is positioned as an alternative to more robust software like Dreamweaver. While it is considered suitable for novices looking to create webpages, professional users have expressed concerns regarding its lack of advanced features such as split-view coding, infrequent updates, and the requirement to purchase certain plugins and even the user manual, impacting workflow.
