A website builder is an interface that enables you to create web pages. It is usually hosted by a company or web host and you login to access it. They differ from standalone builders in many ways. Builders have less advanced capabilities, will work mostly online, have simplified GUI interface and will output their content to the web. They serve as the primary means through which beginners will create their web pages and then publish them online. They especially remove all the troubles novices have with the generation of web content and publishing.
