HomeSite 1.0 is the first version of the HomeSite HTML editing tool that was created by independent programmer Nick Bradbury.
Product history[]
In 1995, Bradbury began writing HomeSite in Visual Basic for his own personal use to maintain his online comic website, Dexter. He then rewrote it in Delphi for speed and compactness and released it in July 1996. After he notified some shareware sites about it, he discovered HomeSite had been downloaded over a thousand times during the first night.[1][2] It was also positively received by trade magazines.[3] Microsoft made the first offer to acquire HomeSite, but Bradbury ended up taking a counter-offer from Allaire in March 1997 and continued working on HomeSite as a commercial product for 18 months.[2]
