Choosing a "fast and easy" web page designer on Linux comes down to one question: visual prototyping or code-first control. 's WYSIWYG suggestion and 's CMS angle are both useful starting points, but the right pick depends on whether you need quick mockups or maintainable, standards-friendly markup long term.

When comparing tools, prioritize practical features over brand names: solid HTML/CSS/JS editing with syntax highlighting and a live preview, simple upload/deploy (SFTP/FTP), project/workspace support, responsive viewport testing, and plugin support for linters/formatters. Steer clear of solutions that lock you into proprietary templates or routinely produce invalid or bloated markup if the site must be maintained or extended.

A minimal, repeatable workflow that works well on Linux:

  • keep source in version control,
  • test locally in real browsers and on devices,
  • validate and lint before deploying.
    Example commands to start from a project folder:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
python3 -m http.server 8000
# then open http://localhost:8000 in a browser

Quick troubleshooting and practical notes: clear the browser cache or use private mode when testing, check the browser console for JS/CSS errors, verify file permissions and MIME types on the server, and run an HTML/CSS linter/validator to catch structural problems. If you like minimal, keyboard-driven workflows (as joked), a lightweight editor plus plugins will serve well; if you want integrated debugging and deployment (as noted), an IDE can speed certain tasks. For , build one simple page end-to-end with your chosen approach — that trial will reveal whether you need a visual designer or a code-first tool.

If you're familiar with Dreamweaver or Frontpage on Windows, here's a very nice free alternative for all platforms (including Linux):
Mozilla Kompozer, formerly known as NVU.

I've recently started to use Joomla! which is exclusively written in php so it doesn't depend on your OS. Quite flexible and makes sites that are easy to maintain. For the best result, however, you should be familiar with HTML, CSS and PHP.
It's open source. Download from joomla.org.

-- Very Funny, I enjoy nano more though :D.
You could consider Aptana (IDE) or Amaya (Visual) also.
I find that gedit (default gnome text editor) does the trick and more. Syntax highlighting and it's addons are great. (Some of the super-useful preferences are hidden, though, such as auto-indent).

If you say gedit, I'll say geany. That's my preferred php/html/javascript editor.
