What is a WYSIWYG editor?

WYSIWYG is pronounced wizzy-wig and stands for what you see is what you get. It describes an editor where the page you are working on looks the same as the page your visitors will see. When you make text bold, it appears bold right away; when you add a photo, you see the photo in place. There is no hidden code to write and no separate preview to check - the editing view is the finished view.

It matters because it removes the fear and friction from building a website. You do not need to learn HTML or imagine how a tag will render; you just point, type and arrange until it looks right. Think of it like writing in a word processor rather than in raw code. This is a huge part of what makes modern website tools approachable. A WYSIWYG editor is usually the heart of a CMS and a defining feature of no-code builders, letting anyone create confidently.

Promino takes the WYSIWYG idea further. Instead of a blank editor where you format everything by hand, you assemble your page from professionally designed sections and edit your text and images directly in place, seeing your real branding as you go.

What you see while building is exactly what publishes, so there are no surprises. The AI can even draft your first page for you, which you then refine visually. It is designer-quality results with word-processor ease. Discover how it feels in the Promino AI website builder.
