Best HTML Editor for Mac?

I am working on my very first campaign.
Totally understand how to set up Tracking (Finally!), got all my tools and offers sorted out and am proficient in Photoshop.
The last cog in the wheel for me is Landing Pages.

I want an HTML Editor that I can use to rip and edit this style of Landing Page:

URL Removed - see below - Caurmen

Specifically, I really like the Survey Questions at the bottom.
Creates a Yes Ladder psychology in the potential lead.

I would like to steal that element and change the copy writing to something more traditional like Hook/Angle Stories.
And of course swap out photos, and change around Colours to match my Offer.

Best HTML Editor for Mac capable of this?
I have no problem spending money on my tools. AM is my full time commitment.

edit:
Should of mentioned, I can't code for shit!
Drag and Drop Interface'd software preferred



Can you rip Landing Pages and edit them in Muse?
I'm on iPhone 3g so I'll have to download it when I get home from work.
Muse looks right up my alley but I'm unsure if It can edit existing html

I use Coda 2 and have no complaints. You have to edit the html/php directly (no drag and drop), but it does allow you to preview the page whilst editing.

It's available through the app store.

I should of also said... I can't code for shit. Any software platforms that is drag and drop? Looking into Adobe Muse.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a good WYSIWYG / drag and drop editor for editing ripped LPs. Sorry! Unfortunately, it's not an easy proposition to code something like that either.

BTW, I'm afraid I've had to remove the link to that LP. We don't allow linking to other peoples' landers on STM: it's the kind of thing that can quickly turn sour!

If you cant code then you're a bit out of luck - most WYSIWYG editors have their own 'project' files that export HTML at the very end, i.e. they don't work with HTML files directly.

If you do have some understanding of HTML/CSS then the best thing I have discovered so far (just got on to this a few days ago) is in the new Adobe Creative Cloud suite - Adobe Edge Code CC which is a fork of Brackets I think. It's great. If you have dual monitors it's boss for messing with HTML/CSS with live updates on the other screen and object highlighting.

Hmm, that looks very shiny indeed...

Download with sitesucker and edit with notepad. It really isn't difficult if you're only editing text/images, even for a coding noob.

Bit the bullet on Adobe CC!!!

PRO TIP! only 19.99$/month for Students if sign up before October 27th....

Sublime Text with live reload plugin.

SiteSucker + Coda 2 are the perfect combo in this case.

+ Coda 2, with it's built in FTP File manager it rocks!
