Instead of having page sections that you fill in, like most Web design software, you're able to move things around on the page anywhere you want it. Just like creating a desktop publishing page, everything is completely editable and can be customized for your needs. You'll also be able to add things like Flash animations, videos, blogs, podcasts and polls with a couple clicks of your mouse.
Everything is so easy to use and it's so easy to add things to your Web pages that you'll never have any need for HTML or any other coding for that matter. Just type, highlight, drag and drop. Comfortable writing in HTML? The program now offers the option to view and write directly into the code if you want to.
