Portable Quick ‘n Easy Web Builder 12.0.0 Multilingual
A handy and efficient application worth using when you need to build, create and design your personal HTML websites with ease. Quick ‘n Easy Web Builder is lightweight, comprehensive software that provides users with an easy way to create, edit and customize websites. Quick ‘n Easy Web Builder Portable is a website builder utility that aims to design and create complete web pages without additional HTML code scripts.
The layout of a website has evolved over the years from simple text and lots of images to interesting and visually appealing templates. They can be created entirely using programming code, but it’s not for everyone. Fortunately, specialized applications like Quick ‘n Easy Web Builder allow anyone to build a website from scratch.
Very intuitive and well designed interface
Launching the app brings up a cleverly designed interface that gives an idea of what can be done without pressing a button. The interactive workspace is where most of the time is spent, with side panels containing objects you can insert and specific options, and a top toolbar with general functions. Increase accuracy with rules and instructions
One of the main advantages is that no programming knowledge is required. Just use the mouse as the main tool to drag objects into desired position, arrange and customize them, that’s all it takes.
To create a clean and attractive design, there are a number of precision tools available, such as rulers that allow you to create a standard layout that objects can stick to. Additionally, items can be locked so you don’t accidentally move or modify them, or you can simply disable visibility from the dedicated object explorer.
Rich library of customizable objects
Plus, every aspect is fully customizable, leaving your project limited only by your imagination. The application is equipped with a rich set of tools that store different objects organized into categories such as standards, images, forms, media, navigation, drawing tools, advanced tools , jquery and login.
You can experiment with different combinations by dragging objects from the list and into the workspace, with the ability to import external images of popular formats in the same way. In addition, these can be fully upgraded via the family checker containing options, general functionality, and other miscellaneous tweaks.
Preview work and export to file
At any time during the creation process, your default web browser can be turned on so you can preview your progress. There is also the option to configure a list of preview options to map compatibility issues. On the export side, the application can generate output either directly on your server or locally in a custom directory.
In short
All things considered, Quick ‘n Easy Web Builder is a powerful and very intuitive application using which you can create modern websites from scratch with minimal effort. There are several templates for a quick start, as well as loads of fully customizable objects that can easily fill your project and bring your website to life.
