Online designer products


Im interested in finding out if any of you use web designers that are online like a site builder type product. Or wether you use software like frontpage or dreamweaver.
What percentage of the public do you feel would need an easy online designer?

dunno

Most of the substantial websites I write include a sort of design tool that lets my clients build pages within their sites. So theres definitely a demand. Whether the public would want one though, I doubt it. The public don't generally have websites.

I don't use a site builder. I once played around with an admin area whereby a client could edit textual and graphical content on the web page with no knowledge of HTML but I have never implemented it (not worked for enough clients yet).

I would however only have an application which changes the relevant parts of the site (i.e. They can't accidentally mess the template up).

In terms of members of the public requiring such a tool I'm not sure what the deamnd would be since as already been pointed out most members of the public do not own a website and those that decide to build one would perhaps start somewhere like freeservers.com where they have their own design tools.

I wouldn't say it wouldn't be used however... If you wanna build one then go for it :wink:

My work is to specific to use a "site builder".

Design: Fireworks. Rarely I use Dreamweaver to build one individual template, TopStyle for CSS editing.
Most of my work is done in Komodo, an editor, I use Subversion CVS on a Suse 9.1 box with, obviously, the stereotypical LAMP installation including Postgres & WebDAV.

I preview templates generally in Mozilla, IE, Opera, Konqueror.

That's my "site builder".
