Lauyan TOWeb is intended for website creation and publishing. The sites it creates have the advantage of being responsive, which means they can be viewed without difficulty on various types of devices. Luckily, there is no reason to worry about not having the coding skills necessary to design a website, because the process is guided by a wizard and you can start from one of the multiple available templates.
Initially, you should provide the information needed for the website to work properly. In this respect, you can start by selecting the target audience in terms of age groups. Likewise, it is possible to enter data about your organization. Then, you can decide if you want to sell any products on your website and pick the type of currency. Next, it is important to select the pages that will make up your site. Similarly, you can select its main language.
After a few seconds, your website structure will be ready. If you select a page from the menu, you can start working on it. The templates have a fixed layout according to the type of page. It is great that the tool lets you customize every element in the page as well. At this stage, it is also allowed to change the theme. Fortunately, it is very easy to add new elements. The tool is WYSIWYG, and you can easily preview what a page will look like on a PC, a smartphone or a tablet.
It is a shame that its templates are not as beautiful as that available from other similar tools. Regrettably, there are other programs of this kind which are easier to use.
All in all, Lauyan TOWeb can create functional websites that have the advantage of being oriented towards e-Commerce. Therefore, if you intend to create a website on which you can sell your products, this may be the right tool for you. The product is available in various licenses. There is the Standard license, which can be used at no cost but has some limitations, like the impossibility of creating more than one site, an upload limit of 20 Mb and the inclusion of ads on your pages. If you want to remove these restrictions, you should purchase the Premium, E-Commerce or Studio license.
