Do people still manually craft CSS and HTML just to make a page layout? That's like writing VBScript to create a Powerpoint presentation. Why do we use a WYSIWYG for literally every other rich text document, but not web pages? Are we really that bad at changing what we're familiar with?
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoDon't know about others, but my web pages aren't just rich text documents. Sometimes they require programmatical definition of rendering dynamic data sets. As for the general case, every website is different enough that no general-purpose GUI/WYSIWYG exists that could cater to every need, I guess.
- bliteben 5y agoMost small sites are going for wysiwyg through platforms like wix /squarespace / shopify, Why there is not a great open source version of this is another question? I suspect some snobbery is involved.
- progmetaldev 5y agoI think there's a happy medium where you have validly marked up templates, and then give your end users rich-text editors to create their WYSIWYG content.
- jandrese 5y agoMost people just use the templates provided in their Wordpress theme these days.
