What is website buider?

A website builder is a special tool which allows you to create your webpage easily without knowledge of HTML. It is similar to website creation software, but it differs in three major points:

• It is used thru the Internet, not on your local computer. Usually a website builder is a set of special web pages which contain toll to create your own website. Therefre, you need to be logged in to The Internet in order to use the builder. It may also work slower that software you have on your hard disk, because the web pages need sime time to load.
• It is provided by your hosting company, and included with your hosting plan. The biggest advantage is that it automatically puts your web pages on the server. You don't have to bother yourself with uploading your files via FTP or other method.
• It has often more powerful and specialized capabilities than stand-alone software: it includes many pre-made website templates that you can use on your site, wizards that create a whole site or a part of it with just a button click, royalty-free graphics etc.

History

The first websites were created in the early 1990s. These sites were hand written in a HTML.

Later software was written to help design web pages and by 1998 Dreamweaver had been established as the industry leader; however some have criticized the quality of the code produced by such software as being overblown and reliant on tables. As the industry moved towards W3C standards, Dreamweaver and others were criticized for not being compliant. Compliance has improved over time, but many professionals still prefer to write optimized markup by hand.

Open source tools were typically developed to the standards, and made fewer exceptions for the then dominant Internet Explorer's deviations from the standards. The W3C started Amaya in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully featured Web client. This was to provide a framework that integrated lots of W3C technologies in a single, consistent environment. Amaya started as an HTML and CSS editor and now supports XML, XHTML, MathML, and SVG.
