The purpose
If you are getting tired of constant searching replacing
some recurring HTML code of your web pages that represents
some elements of content or page layout of your web pages,
if you ever had a problem with getting the text for translation
from HTML page and then putting it back then this program
is definitely for you!
Using this software will allow you significantly ease
the web site development and update processes.
Mastak HyperBricks is an HTML-editor with unusual concept
beneath. Most of HTML-editing software, you mite have
come across, uses two common approaches to editing web
pages.
Programs like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver
incorporate the visual page editing technique (also known
as WYSIWYG – what you see is what you get). Such programs
allow web site creation by people who have no HTML knowledge.
The major drawback of this technology is that the generated
HTML code is non-effective which leads directly to increasing
page load times and thus may scare visitors off your web
site.
The alternative approach to web page editing is presented
by Allaire HomeSite, CuteHTML and many other programs.
This kind of editors allows you to edit HTML code directly
while providing you with some automation tools. The major
drawback in this case is the time it takes to build a
large web site.
Both approaches have one more serious problem – it is
very hard (and sometimes impossible) to update the web
site in future. While changing textual content is not
that hard, any changes to graphical design and page layout
may require the total re-designing.
This HTML-editor was created taking the issues discussed
above into account. Its major purpose is to supply the
designer with an easy to use tool allowing fast and easy
updates both to web page text and page layout. It lets
you to distinguish between the layout and the content
so that you can edit them separately. Web page design
(layout) is presented as a set of templates filled with
content on web site generation phase. You may use any
HTML, CSS, JavaScript code pieces making whatever the
changes you need to the code directly while on the other
hand working with templates. The use of common web site
elements (such as button, hyperlinks panel etc.) in templates
saves a lot of time you typically use on recurring design
tasks.
Unlike SSI, PHP and other server side scripting languages
Mastak HyperBricks generates ready-to-use HTML code. You
do not have to look for a hosting service that allows
usage of server side scripting. All the code generated
by this software is stored to an HTML file directly which
makes pages load fast as they require no further server
side processing.

How to start using Mastak HyperBricks in web site
development process
You can start placing the recurring fragments of existing
web pages into templates. For example, you can create
the layout templates from HTML document headings or tables
or use paragraph templates to change the appearance of
existing or new text. The other way to create a web site
using Mastak HyperBricks includes initial planning of
web site structure and writing the code using HyperBricks
features. Mastak HyperBricks does not substitute HTML
code, rather it generates the code thus allowing you to
easily read and change the generated web page code as
well as to see it in action right away.
