Anybody that has used WordPress knows how much easier it makes web design for people of all skill levels. No need to write in HTML or CSS, or understand how to use databases and create applications. But, even with that improved ease-of-use, WordPress still presents a steep learning curve when anybody first tries to use it. That is why beginner web designers love BoldGrid.
What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG)
Arguably one of the most popular features of BoldGrid, the WYSIWYG editing environment makes web design a snap. No more guessing at how things will look, or going back and forth from one tab to another, saving and checking your work over and over. BoldGrid’s WYSIWYG design tools take away all the guesswork. That leaves you free to explore all the possibilities for your design faster and easier than ever.
Drag-and-Drop Design
Of course, seeing what you have built only goes so far. You have to know how to actually make something worth seeing. Rather than using traditional shortcodes or trying to style elements of your page by hand, BoldGrid’s Customizer organizes content into easy-to-use grids. Then you simply drag your content around between parts of the grid to style the page as you see fit.
No content to drag-and-drop yet? No problem. BoldGrid comes with a number of free themes that include pages, menus, and sample content. We call these “Inspirations.” They serve as an easy jumping off point, tailored to your individual industry, and include custom copy and images. With only a small amount of tweaking, this content should perfectly suit your company’s needs.
Photo Repository
Speaking of making design easy, what do you do when you need a professional image but have no photography skills of your own? You could go hunting for an image across repositories on the Internet (and pay a hefty licensing fee). Or, you could simply use the built-in image repository in BoldGrid. In addition to the free images contained in the various BoldGrid Inspirations, It also offers a variety of images for sale at very low rates. Thanks to strategic partnerships with Fotolia and Flickr, BoldGrid can offer these images at very affordable prices (typically well below anything you could find elsewhere on the web). Better yet, you can locate the image you want, edit it, and post it all without leaving your site’s administration area.
Staging
Maybe you know you need to change something, but you do not want your customers to see it until you finish it. What do you do? With BoldGrid, you just use the built-in staging environment. This creates a clone of your website that you can manipulate and tweak just as you would the site that the public sees (also known as your production site). But, because staging remains hidden, you can test a variety of changes without fear of crashing your production site or turning off your audience. Once satisfied with the changes, simply push the changes you made on your staging site to your production site, preventing you from having to duplicate any efforts.
Historically, only experienced web developers even knew how to set up a staging environment. But, with BoldGrid, even novice web designers can use this powerful tool to reduce their effort, preserve the best user experience, and retain a polished and professional look to their site at all times.
