    NVU is an easy self explanatory program that helps us edit the Landing Pages for the company for which I work. However, many of the features of being able to edit text & text boxes is out of date & very jumpy. I often have to rewrite sentences in order to fit better on a line because I can't adjust the text box without it messing up the entire Landing Page.

    • It allows me to easily create the Landing Pages for my company. I can easily create a copy of an NVU file & then rename it in order to create a new file. Then once I've made the necessary changes to the new file, I just drag & drop the new file into our backend to automatically upload to our site.
    • It allows me to edit text fairly easily. I can drag & drop the text within a text box.

    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

    • I can't widen a text box without it jumping & messing up the entire Landing Page.
    • I can't drag text from one text box into another.
    • The text settings change if I don't copy a word that already exists in a word box & paste it into the new line of text before starting to type a new sentence.
    • Sometimes I try to open a Landing Page to edit it & it says that NVU is unavailable & I have to close the program & try again.

    • I think my boss has actually decided to stop using NVU to create & edit our webpages because of it's lack of updates & features for editing text.
    • It takes me a lot of time trying to adjust text boxes to get them to fit on the Landing Page correctly with the entire desired content.
