The world's most advanced mobile website creation tool

Sitebuilder 2.0

You don't need any programming skills to set up, edit, and manage ambitious mobile Web projects using Netbiscuits. Our Sitebuilder 2.0 provides a drag & drop user interface that seamlessly integrates with Netbiscuits’ cloud software service for cross-platform publishing and allows the instant publication of your mobile web applications.

To enable rich user interface design for smartphone-style devices, Sitebuilder 2.0 comes with a comprehensive set of new and extended Biscuits – Netbiscuits’ unique mobile website building blocks – that enable a device-specific and optimized website display on more than 6.000 web-enabled devices worldwide. Implementing features like sliding picture galleries and interactive cover flows is now easier than ever before.

To support multi-platform publishing across all smart and feature phones, media tablets, game consoles and more, Netbiscuits’ Sitebuilder 2.0 enables multi-column layouts. On devices like iPad, iPhone and alike, which provide wider screens and landscape modes, two single columns can now be displayed side by side. If the display is smaller, the second column can be displayed underneath the first column or can be omitted.

To improve usability Sitebuilder 2.0 provides tree view navigation with expandable and collapsible items for less vertical scrolling. New structural elements allow the grouping of pages into folders and the grouping of Biscuits into columns and containers for a more manageable site structure. To handle recurring elements more efficiently, includes can now be defined that allow groups of biscuits to be edited in one single location.

No matter if you are a designer or developer, Sitebuilder 2.0 empowers you to build cross-platform mobile web applications with a professional authoring tool. Design visually or directly in code, develop pages with content management system or feed integrations, and accurately test mobile device compatibility thanks to integration with the Netbiscuits Simulator.

The Sitebuilder 2.0 includes the full set of Netbiscuits' Biscuits Building Blocks enabling you to set up pages fast and integrate all kinds of rich content, layout and UI features easily. Once created, pages and biscuits can be stored in libraries for recurring use.

For a quick start Sitebuilder 2.0 comes with a set of pre-defined templates addressing standard use cases such as mobile web portals, landing pages, media download, polls etc. Once created, your own applications will equally be available as templates for your next project.
