WYSIWYG Editor

WYSIWYG stands for what you see is what you get — a visual editor where the canvas you design on looks like the final rendered page, so you style and arrange elements directly instead of writing markup. It's the interaction model behind most no-code app and website builders: you drag a heading onto the page, change its color in a panel, and the result you see is what ships. Why it matters: WYSIWYG collapses the design-build loop for non-developers and lets founders ship a polished front end without touching HTML or CSS. The trade-off is that convenience can hide structure — spacing baked into pixels, styles applied to one element instead of a shared class — which makes later changes tedious. Practical note: choose a builder whose WYSIWYG maps to real, reusable styling (Webflow exposes the underlying CSS box model, for instance) rather than one that only produces a locked visual layout, so your project stays maintainable as it grows.
