Web design software is used to create and design web pages. It combines all forms of media, including text, images, sound, and video, into a single page. It allows users to preview the page as they add elements, a method called “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG). It translates the design into codes understood by web browsers, such hypertext markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript. Most programs also allow users to edit the code instead of a visual workspace.
