I've used a couple of those website builders you see advertised on YouTube occasionally, and they are pretty good. You can't do complicated custom web applications with them, but that's not what they are designed for. They are designed for building nice, if generic, websites quickly.

Those tools are probably what killed the market for professional WYSIWYG editors.

I happen to build one of them. Have a look at https://pinkpigeon.co.uk and I'll check back in here to answer any questions.

It's worth noting that your point is correct: a no code solution for building websites is inevitably going to be limited in terms of how much customisation someone can do, but one gains speed and ease of use on the flipside.

For sure, square space and Wordpress themes cover almost every case things like dream weaver cover. And then you get mobile support for free which I can’t even imagine how the wysiwyg editors handle.
