Pinegrow review

Pinegrow is WYSIWYG for people who also care about the code. It is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux that opens any website or starts a new one and lets you build and style it visually, in code and with AI side by side, with everything saved as standard files you own. It has dedicated visual editors for Tailwind CSS, including Tailwind 4 themes, and Bootstrap, a CSS editor that shows every rule styling an element, and the ability to edit a page at several device sizes at once. Components, master pages and a CMS mode let you hand a static site to clients who edit only what you allow. When we checked, the Pinegrow Web Editor was USD 49.50 per year with a 50% discount, against a regular USD 99, and Pinegrow also sells perpetual licenses. There is a free trial with every feature enabled. You need to understand HTML and CSS and arrange your own hosting.
