Free web editors that aren't tied to a hosting site?

[IDEngineer]

I've been away from webpage design for a very long time. As in, I used to write raw HTML using Notepad.    Now I need to create a hyper-simple website. Static home page that links to a few static subpages. Mind-numbingly simple. We already have a hosting company, but their choice of free webpage editors sucks horribly (as in, non-intuitive and the documentation is worse).

What's the top free webpage editor these days, that allows you to locally save your created content and move it to your own hosting site? In other words I need to use someone's editor, save the resulting content to my local workstation, and then upload that content to our third-party hosting company.

This will be a very simple, static site. No commerce. No online ordering. Basically just a way for our customers to view info and technical data about our products, maybe a few links to downloadable PDF's. So it will have a directory structure of static files that link to each other. No compatibility issues like "you're using the wrong ecommerce platform", etc.

Thanks!

Create a github repo, open it, type '.' (a single period) You'll end up with your repo open in a free hosted copy of vscode for editing.

If you really don't want to use github, there's vscode.dev, too, which is basically the same thing without the connection to a repo.

So VS has native webpage authorship support? HTML is one of the "languages" it natively "supports"? I did not know that.

Another vote for VS Code. There is an extension that visualises the HTML you're written (doesn't allow wsiwig editing, but some might say is a good thing).
