Why is it Essential to Learn HTML If I Am Using a WYSIWYG Editor?

Posted by Ellegaard Qvist on April 28th, 2021

It is a wonderful question and one that is frequently asked by newbies interested in building a website. When a WYSIWYG editor will place everything you want in the correct order desired by just holding down a mouse click and dragging text and images to wherever you please, why would anyone desire to bother learning the way the HTML source code works. If the website you plan on building is merely for fun and hobby purposes, then a WYSIWYG editor might be all you require. On check here if your desire is to produce a business website, you might not desire to be restricted in achieving the highest standards available. When code created with a WYSIWYG editor goes awry, which can happen, if you lack the knowledge and ability to repair the problem the options available are less than attractive. Where would you turn for help? Imagine if your website suddenly became inoperative and unreachable on the net to everyone, and would remain so for days until the problem was fixed; would you afford the loss of revenue and reputation? Yes, you could hire someone acquainted with coding to repair the problem at perhaps one hour or more, but that may prove costly when you have to do it more often than once or twice a week. Even worse, if the error creating the problem was one simple ">" bracket misplaced in the code, can you really rather hire a person at an hour to enter one missing ">" bracket, or find and fix the problem yourself in seconds and pocket the amount of money. That situation would be much like calling a repair person to fix your TV only to find out the plug had somehow been knocked loose from the socket, and was simply plugged back to obtain it working again, and being offered something charge. I cannot think of anything more frustrating than my car wearing down and prying open the hood to look at the motor, staring down into the belly of the car knowing absolutely nothing about where you can even begin looking for the issue, even while feeling helpless and stupid and worse, knowing it will cost money to repair.
