Website builders are tools that allow the construction of websites without manual code editing. They fall into two categories: * online proprietary tools provided by web hosting companies. These are typically intended for users to build their private site. Some companies allow the site owner to install alternative tools (commercial or open source) - the more complex of these may also be described as Content Management Systems; * software which runs on a computer, creating pages offline and which can then publish these pages on any host. (These are often considered to be "website design software" rather than "website builders".) ==History== The first websites were created in the early 1990s. These sites were manually written in HTML. Over time, software was created to help design web pages and by 1998 Dreamweaver had been established as the industry leader; however, some have criticized the quality of the code produced by such software as being overblown and reliant on tables. As the industry moved towards W3C standards, Dreamweaver and others were criticized for not being compliant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The History of Website Development )〕 Compliance has improved over time, but many professionals still prefer to write optimized markup by hand. Open source tools were typically developed to the standards, and made fewer exceptions for the then dominant Internet Explorer's deviations from the standards. The W3C started Amaya in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully featured Web client. This was to provide a framework that integrated lots of W3C technologies in a single, consistent environment. Amaya started as an HTML and CSS editor and now supports XML, XHTML, MathML, and SVG. Geocities was one of the first more modern website builders that didn't require any technical skills. Five years after its launch in 1994 Yahoo! purchased it for $3.6B. After becoming technically outdated it was shut down for good in April 2009. Since then the market for do-it-yourself website building tools has evolved with companies like Weebly, Wix.com and Webs.com. Together, these three companies host more than 100 million websites. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Website builder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
