Webydo – Design Outside the Lines

ss-webydo
Webydo is a website design application that encourages graphic designers to color outside the lines. Users are freed from the restraints of traditional website templates, and encouraged to create unique sites for their own clients, even without writing any code. Webydo also offers integrated CMS tools that designers can use to manage the content on their websites with ease.

Graphic designers are often approached by clients who are interested in having them build their websites. The problem, in many instances, is that graphic designers don’t necessarily have the coding skills necessary to develop robust websites from scratch. Webydo works to resolve this issue by providing graphic designers with tools to create unique business websites without writing a single line of code. Drag the various elements of the website you’re creating — like photos, rich media, designs, forms, and even blogs — into the Webydo editor screen, and then drop them into position. When you’re happy with the way the website design of your website looks, click “Publish” and Webydo will generate the necessary code automatically. Your new website will go live within minutes.

In addition to its website design features and creation tools, Webydo also offers an integrated CMS platform that business owners can use to manage the websites that their graphic designers have built. Webydo offers advanced cloud hosting and management features, along with tools forSEO monitoring and site analytics.
