Top Benefits of a WYSIWYG Editor for Creating Your Website

LONDON, ENGLAND, May 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) The whole Internet world has gone through a WYSIWYG revolution of late. And, why not? The Internet world believes in keeping things as simple as possible. Gone are the days when people looking at having websites of their own had to contend with surly chunks of HTML codes. In fact, this was so intimidating for most people that they preferred staying without a website rather than go through the learning process that a website builder once entailed.

But, today, with the presence of WYSIWYG editors, everything has become simple as pie. The acronym stands for 'What You See Is What You Get', which is quite self-explanatory. Here, what you type is exactly what will show up when it is live. The editor does all the coding itself, and it does it in such a manner that the user never has to contend with it. The input is simple--just basic typing and formatting for the most part--and the text is given out in exactly the same manner as it was inputted.

Think of it as a simple Word document. You get a hard copy printout in the same manner as you create the document, fonts, formats and all. Your printer is a WYSIWYG device, or at least most modern printers are. And now the revolution has been taken over on the Internet.

Certainly, such a simplistic method of creating websites has its advantages.

1. Now, you can create a website -- entirely professional looking ones that too -- with these simple WYSIWYG editors. As a result, you do not need to depend on anyone to have a website. You can create your own within a matter of minutes. Combine the WYSIWYG with the various readily available free templates that you can download off the Internet, and you could have a great website within no time and for practically no expense at all.

2. WYSIWYG editors are excellent if you have a dynamic website, such as a blog or an article directory, where you allow users to post content. On such websites, people can use the editors to format the content the way they want. An advantage of this is that they can provide the right intonation and accent to their articles, which writers who were unfamiliar with HTML codes could not do in the past.

3. Another advantage is that you can change whatever you want on your website by yourself, without needing to lean upon some professional to do it. If you have created the website, you are able to change it as well. You can add content, modify it or delete it at your own sweet will. You can tweak your website's presentation the way you want. You save money and the frustration of getting someone else to do it.

4. Most importantly, it saves time. This is definitely much faster than writing all those lengthy codes that one had to do in the past.

So, in many ways, WYSIWYG editors have revolutionized the way websites are created right now. It has brought more people into the online world and made the whole process of creating websites seem less intimidating than it once was thought to be.
