I've been dabbling in programming as a hobby for about five years, but I've never managed to get into web development. Honestly, I just can't stand working with CSS, and debugging it feels impossible since things always seem to look off. That's why I generally steer clear of GUIs.
The only GUI system I actually enjoy working with is Godot—it has a fantastic interface! I'm curious if there are website builders that offer an experience similar to Godot. I'm okay with writing some JavaScript, but I'd really prefer a visual tool for the layout and design. I know I could just code the front end, but honestly, AI-generated sites never end up looking the way I imagine, and minor details often get messed up, which drives my perfectionism crazy.

Honestly, if you don’t want to dive into learning, what's the point of making a website? How did you get the hang of Godot? That platform really teaches you a lot through hands-on experience!
One easy approach is to use UI component frameworks. I rely on their predefined classes most of the time instead of writing custom CSS. It not only speeds up my workflow but also makes debugging a lot simpler!
Hey, I get where you’re coming from about CSS. It may seem rough at first, but honestly, it's gotten way more user-friendly nowadays. Learning just a bit about floats, margins, and paddings can really help you out! And once you nail the basics, it opens up opportunities to explore things like flexbox and grid, which can simplify layout concerns.
Totally agree! But just a heads-up, you'll want to make sure your HTML structure is solid so you can really leverage those CSS tools.
You might want to think about trying a good CMS like WordPress with a pre-made theme. And while site builders like Wix are nice, you might feel limited if you ever want to customize it extensively.
For your needs, definitely check out Squarespace or Wix! They’re user-friendly but don't forget they won't give you access to the source code, which is a bummer if you’re looking for more control.
I know those options exist; I was hoping for something more like Adobe Dreamweaver that lets me see and edit source code.
I get that! I love programming in general, but CSS is just a whole different beast that makes me frustrated.
