Softpedia Editor's Review for WYSIWYG Web Builder
|
A What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get Web site builder
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 18th, 2011
Designing a website is indeed a job that takes a lot of time if you wish to build something really amazing, but there are a lot of software solutions out there supposed to help you in this regard.
WYSIWYG Web Builder is an application supposed to be used mostly by beginners because you don’t have to be a HTML guru to be able to use it.
All the things can be controlled with your mouse, so there’s no problem if you’re not into coding too much.
The application supports most of the things you usually see on the Internet such as forms, banners, Flash video players, captchas, images, buttons, YouTube content, photo galleries and so much more.
Of course, it all comes down to the user and his needs because WYSIWYG Web Builder has the power to rise up to the expectations and help you in any regard, as long as it’s addressed to web designing.
The interesting thing is that the program even comes with PayPal eCommerce integration, which means you can place a Buy Now button on your website, or all the other PayPal utilities, such as View Cart, Subscription, Donation and Add to Cart.
Just as expected since we are talking about such a powerful application, there are a lot of other handy tools in there, such as the page weight viewer to see the size of the page elements, sitemaps, link checker, search index and extension manager.
There is an Options menu as well, again with a lot of preferences, so using WYSIWYG Web Builder will definitely take a lot of time.
That being said, it’s pretty obvious that WYSIWYG Web Builder is a five-star product and no matter its price, this app is at least worth a chance.
