Design your way

Tuesday, October 29, 2013

Programmers have always been an indispensable component in the making of a website, and every designer needs to secure their coding skills whenever embarking on a mission to set up a client’s online business platform. But is that really necessary in the present context?

Webydo proves that times have changed. The free website builder is specifically tailored to accommodate designers by taking the pain of writing code out of their hands; hence, Webydo automatically converts their users’ designs into code, so web designers can sit back and do what they do best, design.

Building a website with this great website creator may well be the best choice you’ve ever made, because it simplifies communication with your clients. And, you’re free to integrate whatever strikes your imagination directly into the framework of a website.

In order to set up business websites with Webydo, designers need only to register for a free account and they can get started right away with unlimited bandwidth, 1 GB storage, 15 pages, and build each website as a free Webydo sub-domain.

For the initial designing stage, a handy online dashboard allows designers to start a project from scratch, and also presents users with already-made themes and layouts which can be edited to suit their own purpose. Thus, users may easily drag-and-drop texts, forms, Flash media, widgets (for E-commerce, too), videos, and many other elements. Free fonts can be employed, as well.

These functions are similar to using Photoshop or Indesign, so the process will be familiar, easy to grasp, and fast. What is more, the articles stacked in Webydo’s ‘Knowledge Base’ covers every aspect of piecing together a wonderful website.

Once everything is in its rightful place, the designer can publish the website, which instantly goes live. As far as management goes, Webydo has an awesome Content Management System (CMS) feature, which means that designers can establish editable sections in the website layout for their clients to update content freely, without prejudicing the design.

Moreover, every service can be billed to clients straight from the dashboard, and the system can be customized with the designers’ own brand identity (on the dashboard, on the client’s login window and CMS). Finally, Webydo welcomes any feedback and new suggestion on their Participate page, so that designers can play an active part in perfecting their user experience.

The code generated by Webydo is responsive, which means that websites will look equally gorgeous on a desktop, and on a tablet or smart phone. So far, more than 85,000 websites have been crafted through this website creator, then protected and hosted on cloud-based servers.

On purchasing a Premium yearly subscription for the designed website at $9.90/month, you can enlist it on your own domain, and gain 2 GB of storage, unlimited pages and bandwidth. Last but not least, I need to mention that users may cancel or change their plan of choice anytime, and Webydo readers should be on the lookout for codes which enact significant discounts.
