The What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) trend that started in the early years of web design software proliferation truly offered a liberating experience for every “Joe” who dreamed of becoming a web designer. Enabling participating in a revolution of web technology by professionals and those who simply wanted a presence and today the design community is made even more powerful with the entrance of Webydo.
The freedom to create websites ignited a boom in the industry that saw millions of websites pop-up across the web. This freedom, however, brought many mediocre design and development expressions to the fore as the software of the time lacked the necessary features and horsepower to deliver truly stunning and functional work. The use of WYSIWYG platforms and concepts became dormant on a professional level since they were simply not powerful enough to deliver work the professionals could be proud of. The collaboration of web designers and developers became an absolute necessity for creating outstanding work of the age.
Meet Webydo
I think every professional web and graphic designer and developer had given up on the WYSIWYG approach and was frowned upon and left for use by nonprofessionals. No one could call him or herself a designer or developer, relying on such software. Since 2011, Webydo’s cloud-based web design studio has made WYSIWYG designing as a phoenix rising from the ashes and is revolutionizing the way web designers create their clients websites. Bringing a host of features ranging from a functional content management system working in conjunction with a rich and powerful drag and drop WYSIWYG platform delivering options found in professional design software like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign.
Webydo is most appealing for the professional designer looking to grow their client base or design agency while making them independent of developers and the world of code.
