Website builder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Web site builder, as the name suggests, is a software application or a bundle of applications that lets the user create a Web site without knowledge of the underlying markup and scripting languages like HTML, JavaScript, PHP, ASP and so on. Therefore it must be distinguished from an HTML editor. Often it will offer the user a collection of templates, pre-fabricated web pages that can be modified by the user. Some will also offer additional features like shopping carts or surveys.
Web site builders can be divided into online and off-line Web site builders. With an off-line application users will edit the site on their local computer and then publish it to the Web server. With online applications users edit their site using a Web browser.
