This platform utilizes tools similar to those used in other software such as Adobe Photoshop or InDesign,[2] but with the ability to design directly in the browser.

Webydo provides a more professional platform, unlike do-it-yourself B2C website builders that target un-professional users and offer simple pre-designed templates.

[11] Webydo's software was developed initially as an in-house tool for the web design agency by Shmulik Grizim and Tzvika Steinmetz.

They thought of a tool which would permit automatic generation of HTML code for an Adobe Photoshop-like graphic design, and which would also make possible the direct involvement of the client in the website ongoing management process.

After Google chose Webydo's technology to provide web solutions for businesses in Israel, some 35,000 websites were rapidly created.
