Buildor, the service that allows users to edit live web pages right from within the browser window, is today launching its Pro service that aims to be a ‘Dreamweaver in the cloud’.
While Buildor’s existing service is aimed at users with little or no web design experience (see our previous coverage here), Buildor Pro is hoping to attract professional web developers who want a fast and efficient way to make changes to a page’s design, or create new designs from scratch.
All sites begin with the creation of the HTML and CSS elements that make up a page. It’s here that Buildor Pro steps in. The service allows you to open any element of a page (or an entire site) and tinker away to your heart’s content. Beyond just editing existing designs, you can start completely new projects and manage your CSS files as you go.
Beyond mouse-driven editing, BuildorPro also features a code editor for working with raw HTML and CSS as well as a debug tool. It’s a robust set of tools and one that could really help Buildor make its mark as a startup.
Buildor is the work of a two-man, UK-based team comprising CTO Bart Milner, who previously launched the web version of The New Statesman (the UK’s first online magazine); and CEO James Law, formerly Digital Director at News International. Law was responsible for bringing The Times and The Sun newspapers online for the first time.
Cloud-based image editing services like Aviary have proved a popular alternative to Photoshop for many tasks and BuildorPro’s solution to web page design may equally strike a chord with digital creatives looking for a more lightweight way to work.
For an example of the app’s power, watch the vdeo below to see how easily the tool redesigns the Facebook homepage.

There’s a real buzz around the place about Buildor after their pitch at The Next Web – reckon they’ve a good chance of winning the rally, but there’s a way to go… someone asked me on Twitter how it differs from Squarespace…anyone?
Squarespace is a hosted solution and tied to its own platform. This is a web development suite that hooks into your own FTP servers and generates standard HTML and CSS that’s totally flexible and can be used with a CMS, database backend or whatever.
This could be huge, I’m looking forward to playing with this.
They certainly impressed the Paypal X startup rally judges.
Certainly amazing. Never thought Cloud computing could get this amazing . :)
nice, nice, nice priti nice :))
These guys did a really nice job with their demo.
