It seems that every few weeks another web application comes along promising to revolutionise the entire world. Occasionally they do, but most don’t quite have the impact they promise and some just fizzle out.
We here at BaseKit don’t want to revolutionise the entire world. What we would like to do is make life easier for those who are unable to code or don’t want to. Unlike before, they can build a website with maximum design in minimum time.
BaseKit allows you to create a website in Photoshop, so that designers can illustrate their creative flair to its full potential without being restricted by the boundaries of coding. We’ve found that creating a great looking Photoshop design is the fun part of building a site. Slicing, turning it into code, adding functionality, uploading to a server and actually getting it online isn’t so great.
BaseKit takes that process and makes it as simple as possible. It’s as straightforward as flattening your PSD, splitting it into named layers and uploading it to BaseKit.
You can also drag fully functional widgets such as galleries, forms, Twitter feed, videos etc into the site, edit the design on the fly and publish to the web with two clicks. Your site is now online and the code is W3C web compliant.
Recently we launched our Plastic release with great functionality improvements, such as our new Embed Widget, which allows you to embed your own Javascript code (or other HTML) directly onto your BaseKit page. In addition, you can easily embed 3rd party widget (from providers like Google or Widgetbox), or craft your own widgets directly in BaseKit. Furthermore, you can also add scripts to the header or body of your site by visiting the Page Options lightbox. The Embed widget opens up BaseKit to a full range of services like E-commerce, AdSense, music players and more.
