'''HomeSite''' was an [[HTML editor]] originally developed by [[Nick Bradbury]]. Unlike [[WYSIWYG]] HTML editors such as [[Microsoft FrontPage|FrontPage]] and [[Adobe Dreamweaver|Dreamweaver]], HomeSite was designed for direct editing, or "[[hand coding]]", of HTML and other website languages.

After a successful partnership with the company to distribute it alongside its own competing Dreamweaver software, HomeSite was acquired by [[Macromedia]] in 2001, after which elements of the software were integrated into Dreamweaver. Following the acquisition of Macromedia by [[Adobe Systems]], the company announced on May 26, 2009, that HomeSite would be discontinued.<ref name="Adobe">{{cite web | url=http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ | title=HomeSite development ended effective May 26, 2009 | publisher=[[Adobe Systems]] | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209092351/http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ | archive-date=2014-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.zdnet.com/article/foss-v-proprietary-software/ |title = FOSS v proprietary software: Website creation| website=[[ZDNet]] }}</ref>
