Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

There's something good brewing over at http://www.coffeecup.com : the homepercolator for CoffeeCup Software, maker of CoffeeCup HTML Editor8.0. Available for download as a 30-day demo ($49 to register),CoffeeCup HTML Editor is one of the best of its breed. Youdon't have to know any HTML to use CoffeeCup effectively, butusers with some basic HTML knowledge will get the biggest kick outof this program.

A collection of ready-to-use backgrounds, animated GIFs, imagefiles and JavaScripts extend CoffeeCup's reach, especially forthose just starting to create for the Web. A Quick Start Wizardgets you well on your way. The nicest feature award goes to thepreview window: One click pops you over from the HTML to a view ofwhat the code will look like on the Web while you work. And abuilt-in FTP program keeps you in touch with your server foruploading on the fly.

There's everything imaginable here, from a frames-maker tofont tools and feedback forms. My familiarity only extends torudimentary HTML tags. But, after downloading the program, Imanaged to put up a clean-looking five-page Web site with graphics,links and all sizes and colors of fonts in less than six hours.Advanced users will consider CoffeeCup HTML Editor a great tool,while beginners will feel like real Webmasters in no time.
