01What it should do

What web design software should actually do. 

Good design software lets you manipulate the website directly. These are real WEB4 screens, not mockups.

  • Inline text formatting toolbar in the WEB4 editor

    Click text, edit it

    Type straight onto the page with an inline formatting toolbar.

  • Image actions menu in the WEB4 editor

    Select an image, replace it

    Image actions sit in the toolbar right next to the image.

  • Element toolbar with Edit text, Root and Ask WEB4 beside a link-to-page menu

    Select a button, change its link

    Point it at another page of your site or at any address.

  • The Add a section menu in the WEB4 editor

    Select a section, move or delete it

    Reorder whole sections or remove the ones you don’t need.

  • The Layers tree in the WEB4 editor

    Layers, to navigate the structure

    Every heading, image, button and section in one tree.

  • The WEB4 pages menu with rename, set path, duplicate and delete

    Pages, to build a real site

    Add, rename, duplicate and delete pages from the pages menu.

  • Preview desktop, tablet and phone

    Check how the site responds before anyone else sees it.

  • Save and reopen

    Close the tab, come back to the same project later.

02Skip the blank canvas

From finished design to your website. 

A blank canvas asks you to decide everything before you’ve made anything. WEB4 starts from something already good and lets you change what matters.

Traditional blank canvas

  • Layout
  • Typography
  • Images
  • Sections
  • Structure
  • Copy
  • Spacing
  • Navigation

Every one of these is a decision before launch.

WEB4

Pick something already good. Change what matters.

03Direct visual editing

You’re editing the website itself, not filling out a form. 

Select what you see and change it where it sits. WEB4 is a focused website editor, not a full Figma or Webflow replacement, and it’s fast for what most sites need. It’s also a free AI website builder to try, with manual editing open to everyone.

A real WEB4 editor screen. Save is free; Export and Publish need Founding Access, as does the AI panel. The editor is designed for a tablet, laptop or desktop.

04Layers

The structure of your site isn’t hidden from you. 

Layers shows the page as a tree of headings, images, buttons and sections. Click any entry and the matching element is selected on the page. When elements overlap and one is hard to click, pick it from Layers instead.

  • Select from the page or from the tree; either way you land on the same element.
  • Move up the structure with the Root control in the element toolbar.
  • Open Layers on any page, About page included.

05Manual when you want it

Manual when you want it. AI when you don’t. 

WEB4 AI works inside the same website you edit by hand. Whatever it makes lands on the page as normal, editable elements, so you can keep going manually.

WEB4 AI is part of Founding Access; free accounts have none. It includes 1,000 starter credits, and additional AI usage is sold separately. New here? Read the AI website builder guide, or the AI website editor overview.

Web design software questions, answered.

Straight answers about what WEB4 does and doesn’t do.

What is web design software?

Web design software is a tool for creating the look, layout and content of a website. Some tools are code editors, some are visual editors where you click and change the page directly, and some now add AI. WEB4 is a visual one: you edit the website itself.

What is the best web design software for beginners?

The best tool is the one you can start using immediately. WEB4 starts you from a finished design instead of a blank canvas, then lets you click text, images, links and sections to change them. You can try the editor free.

Can I design a website without coding?

Yes. You edit visually and never have to touch code. If you do want the code, Founding Access lets you export the site as HTML or PHP.

Can I use WEB4 as visual web design software?

Yes. Select text, images, buttons and sections on the page, use Layers to navigate the structure, manage pages and preview different screen sizes. It is not a full Figma or Webflow replacement, and it is not trying to be.

Does WEB4 have a visual editor?

Yes. Open any design in the WEB4 editor and edit it directly: inline text editing, image and link controls, section tools, Layers and a pages menu.

Can I edit HTML websites visually?

WEB4 designs are real HTML websites you edit visually inside the editor. After editing, Founding Access lets you export clean HTML or PHP files.

Can AI help me design a website?

Yes, with Founding Access. WEB4 AI works inside the site you are editing: rewrite a heading, add a section, create a page or turn an image into a video. The result stays editable by hand. Free accounts have no WEB4 AI.

Can I use WEB4 without AI?

Yes. The whole editor works manually, and the free plan is entirely manual. AI is optional help, not a requirement.

Is WEB4 free to try?

Yes. Browse and preview designs, sign in, open the real editor, edit by hand, use Layers and save up to two projects. Free accounts have no WEB4 AI, no publishing and no export.

Can I build multiple pages?

Yes. The pages menu lets you create, rename, set the path of, duplicate and delete pages, and links can point between them.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, with Founding Access. WEB4 shows the DNS records to add step by step. Custom domains are not available on free accounts.

Can I export my website?

Yes, with Founding Access you can export clean HTML or PHP files and host the site wherever you like. Free accounts cannot export.

Does WEB4 require a subscription?

No. Founding Access is a one-time $49 payment, planned to rise to $99 soon. Additional AI usage and optional managed hosting are priced separately and are not required to begin.

Can I edit the website after publishing?

Yes. Reopen the project in the editor, change what you need and publish the update.

Does the editor work on mobile?

The editor is designed for a tablet, laptop or desktop, so editing on a phone is not supported. Finished websites work on phones, and you can preview phone view inside the editor.

What is the difference between a website builder and web design software?

The terms overlap. Website builders tend to emphasize templates and hosting; design software emphasizes direct control over layout and content. WEB4 aims at the second: a visual editor with finished designs, optional AI, publishing and export.
