What is openElement?
openElement is a desktop website editor for building pages through a visual, drag-and-drop workspace. It generates website code while letting you reuse page layers, styles and element packs across a project. It suits designers who want to arrange content visually without giving up the option to add scripts or customize CSS.
The publisher lists responsive design, multilingual websites, HTML5 and CSS3 support, plus a local webserver for PHP and database testing. Built-in elements can be modified, and code blocks handle behavior that is not covered by those elements.
The publisher download page identifies the installer as 1.57 R9 and lists Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. It also provides a separate update patch to apply after installation. Windows 11 compatibility and the installer architecture are not established by that page; do not treat the Windows listing as confirmation for every current system.
What it offers
- Arrange website content in a visual drag-and-drop editor.
- Reuse page layers, styles and element packs across a site.
- Create responsive and multilingual websites with HTML5 and CSS3 support.
- Customize CSS, integrate scripts and create your own elements.
- Use the local webserver for PHP and database testing.
Good to know
- The publisher lists Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10; Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed by the cited download page.
- The publisher provides an update patch separately from the base installer; the linked download is the base installer, not that patch.
