What Is A Website Builder Anyhow Print E-mail
Saturday, 04 August 2007
The term “website builder” is used very generally to describe basically anything that generates something for a website. There are many different types of website builder applications, ranging from free and very basic specialized applications, to expensive and elaborate all-in-one applications. Website builder applications allow you to develop websites with little to no technical know-how. Usually they operate in a WYSWYG environment, or “what you see is what you get.” This makes designing a website more like putting together a scrapbook, and something that just about anyone can understand.

Specialized website builder applications:

The most common and widely varying kind of website builder applications handle just the base code to make the website itself. Specialties include search engine optimization, e-commerce website development, pure static unscripted websites (“brochure” style), or dynamic fully interactive websites that communicate with other applications on a server to handle tasks.

Some offer the ability to add plug-ins for further functionality, such as Flash introductions and menus. You can also use independent stand-alone applications in addition to and separate from your website builder application to get the precise design that you originally dreamed up.

Picking the right website builder for you:

First and foremost, figure out exactly what you want to do with your website – this will be your greatest asset to finding the website builder that will take care of all your needs. Remember, if you want to do something with scripts, like an e-commerce website or interactive menus, all you need is something that can import those kinds of scripts.

Your website builder doesn't have to do it all, it just has to be compatible with what you need it to do. A website builder can always be supplemented with smaller, less expensive or even free applications to take care of the little details.
