Would I Have to Learn HTML in Order to Use Web Builder?

Not necessarily. Depending on your goals, you may or may not choose to learn simplified HTML. You would not have to learn any advanced HTML in order to use Web Builder.

One of the benefits of CMS is that it makes time-saving (cost-saving) globalization possible. Imagine making a design adjustment in one place, and having it automatically applied to an unlimited number of pages. No more repeating the same design tweak across multiple pages. Easily change your global design standards at any time, with no commitment.

Another benefit of CMS is that it improves teamwork. You become free to focus on the what by delegating the how. Our CMS system offers an ideal balance of independence and professional support. Learn only the HTML you need to learn in order to make routine content changes, leaving more complex occasional HTML editing to us.

The Bottom Line

If you want to directly edit your own web content without having to hire a web professional for routine maintenance and globalization matters to you, then we recommend you learn simplified HTML (only about 10 “tags”) with the aid of our help wizards. We will train you how to get started, and our help wizards will keep supporting you until you've learned it and don't need them anymore. Writing HTML code directly also enables authors to more precisely control the appearance of web pages.

If globalization and precision don't matter to you, and you prefer WYSIWYG^* editing, Web Builder supports this also. In order to use WYSIWYG editing with Web Builder, you'll have to install Firefox web browser, then open this page with Firefox, then install Xinha. Xinha is a free Firefox extension which provides WYSIWYG editing under Web Builder.

Software Support

We are happy to provide support for both Web Builder and Xinha. The software is free, but our training and consultation are billable services. For free support, please make use of our help wizards and product documentation on this web site and on the Xinha web site.
