Kompozer not in the repo?
Kompozer was removed from the repository as it is no longer being maintained by its maintainer in the upstream(Debian).

As for your second question, a suitable alternative for it would be Bluegriffon.
This is what it looks like:
To install it do the following steps:
- Download the installer.
- Right click on the Installer file. Pick the "Permissions" tab and
check the
Allow executing file as programcheckbox. (For security reasons, most files aren't executable by default.) - Double-click on the installer file, and the GUI to install BlueGriffon will start.

The latest bluegriffon can also be installed from the getdeb repository, by doing the following steps:
wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bluegriffon

Kompozer packages are removed from Quantal version but still you can download install the binaries or from source.
Here is the binaries/source link
Make sure you install the dependencies before installing the Kompozer .deb file
Other Alternative for Kompozer is aptana-studio but you cannot find this package in ubuntu repository. You need to download them from official website
The KompoZer packages have been removed due to lack of maintenance (the packages can not be built from source with the 12.10 tool chain).
I suggest Amaya and the NVU/KompoZer fork Bluegriffon. Unfortunately, neither is in the repositories.
