WYSIWYG Web Builder review

WYSIWYG Web Builder is a long-running Windows program, now at version 21, for designing sites by dragging objects onto pages while the app writes the HTML. It supports both absolute positioning and responsive layouts with layout grid, flexbox, CSS grid and breakpoints, and version 21 adds Easy Breakpoints for single elements. For an offline workflow it publishes directly over Secure FTP, FTPS or FTP, so no separate upload tool is needed, and it works with any hosting service. It goes further than most builders here, with a built-in PHP CMS, password-protected member areas, form handling that stores data in MySQL or CSV, and integrations with PayPal, Stripe, Ecwid and Snipcart. A license costs $59.95, and was $39.95 on sale when we checked; it covers one user on 3 computers with free updates for that version. The trial is fully functional for 30 days. The catch is that it runs only on Windows.
