, Web Authoring ToolsWeb authoring tools are software that provide basic facilities to create
webpages, with a range of tools for designing a web page such as ready-
made templates and the use of CSS (cascading style sheets; the code
language used to decorate webpages). This allows sites to be produced
without the full necessity of having to know HTML and other languages so
anyone with basic IT capabilities can create one. Authoring tools include

servers, which provides with the website’s data.
A server can be brought or stored on another’s
server for a price.
