Modern WYSIWYG for real page building
Build complete pages visually, then ship clean code output
Typical WYSIWYG tools are strong at text editing but weak at full layout control. GrapesJS gives teams block-based page building, responsive styling tools, and deployable HTML/CSS, so users get visual speed without losing developer standards.
