There are a lot of free CSS editors on the market, so it is really silly if you go out and buy one. That is not to say that there are not some ultra modern CSS editors that you can buy on the market, but why bother paying money for something that you can get for free. Here is a list of a few good and free CSS editors.
The Workshop
This is a CSS code editor that is easy to use and quick to load. It is a code editor that is better off being used by people who know what they are doing and want to do it quickly. It is something that a professional may open up and start using on a whim, or if he or she wanted to make a start on a project. Of course, there is nothing wrong with working the whole project through on this editor, and if you are good enough then why not.
CSSFly
This is an editor that you can use if you want to make up your website very quickly. It is good for creating quick mock-ups of websites, and good for creating chunks of code that you can fiddle around with at a later date. It may also be used for testing your current website to see if it has any big problems.
Sky CSS Tool
This tool will allow you to create CSS code using its code generator and editor, and it will give you updated tags too. It is good for people who are trying to learn CSS and good for people who like to have a lot of the basic work done for them before they start a project.
QrONE CSS Designer
This is more a basic CSS editor which is very good for helping you to get down your website fundamentals. You can work your entire website CSS from this tool if you like, but it is better used for making a start or coming up with a skeleton structure/foundation for your website or blog. It is very quick to use because everything you need is put on the first page. You are able to start work and keep going without having to swap between pages to find things. It is very good for creating clean code and allows you to copy your CSS code very quickly.
Firebug
This is a Firefox extension that is good for web developers and website designers. It allows you to look at the source code of web pages and see what it going on. You can look at the HTML and you can look at the CSS. You may also add things to the CSS and manipulate it to see how each element affects the way that the web page looks. It recognizes the most common CSS styles and classes and will fill them out for you, and you can see the changes you have made immediately.
CSS Portal
This is an editor that is better used if you already have a bit of code you want to change. Just put it into the editor and it will check for errors and look at your CSS to see where you may like to improve it. You can add in your own improvements if you like, and it has a visual style editor which allows you to see what you are doing whilst you are building your CSS. It is a very good little editor to say that it is free and widely available.
HTML Playground
This tool will give you more than seventy CSS tags that you can look at and click on. If you do click on it then you can see a description of it, and if you choose a tag then you are given some example code that you can use. You can alter it and preview it too whilst using the editor. It is a good editor for people who are learning CSS or for people who want to do things a little quicker and do not fancy going down the more manual path.
CSSMate
This is a code generator that may also be used as a free editor. It allows you to generate the code for a very basic website layout and then adapt and improve it to suit your own needs. You can choose between seven tabs and a lot of editing options for your CSS. It allows you to preview your code updates as you go, so you may see how changing one thing affects another.
Pixy Free Browser CSS Editor
This is a good CSS editor, even though it is fairly simple in its design. It allows you to choose the part that you want to edit and then allows you to change it with different styles and tags. It is a quick and easy to use CSS editor that it better used by people who really know what they are doing.
