WYSIWYG Web Builder is exactly that, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get web editor. This means that whatever you do on the screen will appear exactly the same when someone opens the created webpage on a web browser.
Ease of use is definitely a relative concept. In this respect, this program might seem easy for experienced users, who have probably used other web creation tools. However, if you are a beginner, do not expect this program to work miracles because, if you do not know anything about web editing, you will surely have a hard time even to create a new blank page. One thing is true: you will not have to deal with HTML code at all.
The program has a neat interface in the old-Office style. The main element is the working area, surrounded by toolbars, menu, site manager, properties and an impressive toolbox. In my opinion, this program’s main asset is precisely this vast collection of features and web controls that you can hardly get from other similar software.
To make it easier for the user, this program offers a series of templates while some more can be downloaded from the developer’s site. However, these are not really site templates but front-page templates, so you will probably have to do a lot of work by yourself.
As a whole, WYSIWYG Web Builder is an excellent application with a fair price. As it offers a generous one-month trial period of a fully-functional version, you will not lose any money seeing if it works for you.

Version 18 is out and as of 9/18/2023 - latest version is 18.3.3. Why is the latest version here 17.14?
I use WB16 and I can say that the program has a lot of features, but it can also be terribly impractical to use. The method of selecting objects is bad. Scrolling a page that has a lot of content is a nightmare in the editor. The author refused to correct the observed defects. Similar programs do not have these problems.
WYSIWYG Web Builder is an amazing product. About 5 years ago I exhaustively searched the Internet for an application to design websites that provided visual design, and generated code with few or no limitations. Web Builder is that application. It can do ANYTHING anyone could want or need when developing websites. Fixed and fluid website design, login and CMS capability, many layout features, robust user group and outstanding aggressive development that stays on the bleeding edge of what is possible. Web Builder provides hundreds of extensions/widgets, and makes it possible to add custom code ANYWHERE in your website. Possibilities are limitless. Additionally Web Builder is an outstanding tool for a more novice user and an advanced developer. It makes website development fairly easy and fast without sacrificing power and capability ─ it has no equal.
