Website builder

Website builders are tools that typically allow the construction of websites without manual code editing. They fall into two categories:

• Online proprietary tools provided by web hosting service companies. These are typically intended for service users to build their own website. Some services allow the site owner to use alternative tools (commercial or open-source) — the more complex of these may also be described as content management systems.
• Application software that runs on a personal computing device used to create and edit the pages of a web site and then publish these pages on any host. (These are often considered to be "website design software", rather than "website builders".)
