## What is HTML Designer Pro?

HTML Designer is a complete web workshop for iPhone and iPad: write the code, watch the page render beside it, then publish straight to your own server.

WRITE THE CODE
• A real code editor, with syntax colouring for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP
• Line numbers, re-indent, find and replace, and find across the whole project
• Snippets with trigger keys: type a short key, press Tab, get the block
• An HTML validator that lists what is wrong and takes you to the line

SEE IT AS YOU TYPE
• The preview serves your site from a real local web server, so relative links, images, stylesheets and scripts behave exactly as they will online
• PHP pages render through that server too, and Markdown files get a properly rendered preview
• Code, Split or Preview — panes side by side or stacked, whichever suits the screen
• Inspect: tap an element in the preview and land on its tag in the source
• Edit Text: retype wording on the rendered page and the source updates with it

PUBLISH TO YOUR SERVER
• FTP, FTPS and SFTP built in — no separate client, no export step
• Every file shows its sync state: to upload, to download, in sync, or changed on both sides
• Publish sends everything you changed in one go
• Check Online tells you whether the live site is really answering

AN ASSISTANT THAT WRITES FILES
• Ask for a change in plain words; the assistant creates and updates real files in your project folder — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG
• Bring your own key: Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), or Apple Intelligence running entirely on-device
• Keys are kept in the iOS Keychain and nowhere else

THE TOOLBOX
• DOM outline of the open document
• Elements library: HTML tags, form controls, CSS properties, PHP and Markdown blocks, ready to insert
• CSS Designer: every selector in the file, every declaration, editable
• Snippets panel

BUILT FOR iPad
• Files, editor and preview side by side
• Two projects open in two windows at the same time
• Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout

A sample site ships with the app, so there is a real project to open the first time you launch it.

Universal purchase: buy once, and the Mac version is included.

### 5/5 — Спасибо

Все работает

### 1/5 — App Connections

### 1/5 — Impossible de démarrer

*2025-01-14*

Il vous demande un serveur ftp ou des protocoles à la mord-moi-le-noeud interdisant juste de tester le logiciel si vous n'avez-pas l'artilerie lourde en amont.

Vous ne pouvez pas faire un "site vite fait" parce que vous êtes préssé.

Je me demande qui est l'utilisateur prévu pour ce logiciel... di le mec a déja tout, il n'a pas besoin de ça...  si le mec n'a pas tout au départ il ne peut rien en faire...

### 3/5 — cant edit local html file

*2024-08-29*

why i need to connect to ftp ?

### 1/5 — Opening uninviting

*2024-07-28*

I wanted to try out the app before setting up anything. Get a page done, load it up myself, and see how this app works. You can't do anything with this app without adding in connection data first.

### 1/5 — useless

*2024-07-08*

did noy manage start and connect to any servies

### 5/5 — Basic but free so perfect...

*2024-02-06*

I'll come back if I run into any snags but so far this has been a great code editor / ftp program that got the job done.

You'll have to know your code and the preview doesn't always display perfectly, but other than that, I think you'll be happy with what you're getting for free.

If I had a wish list, it would be that they had a feature that would allow you to insert code snippets that you could then edit to suit the situation.

### 5/5 — Did they get a call

*2023-07-30*

Get it done and you have

### 1/5 — ftp 접속이 안되네요.

*2023-07-17*

같은 종류의 다른 앱들은 ftp 접속이 가능한데 이 앱은 되지 않아요. ㅠㅠ
