Drag and Drop
Drag and drop website builder is a feature usually used in the development of most websites. It allows users to literally drag and drop an element from one location to another anytime. Some websites have extensions and other applications that may need the use of these functions in customizing the overall appearance of the site.
Generally, there are a few steps to follow whenever you are going to use this app.
• Define a target that can be dragged. You have to specify an attribute or a true element that you want to drag from one location to another.
• Define the format which is supposed to be dragged. This may be in different formats but just the same, they can be dragged for relocation to a specified location on the website. A good example is a text that you want to move from the side bar to the footer of the site.
• The image can be used and customized. Mostly, it will not be a default image which will be generated based on the element where the mouse is pressed down to command a drag.
• Drag effects are allowed. There are three possible effects one is to copy in indicating which data if to be dragged. This will automatically be copied from its recent location to the drop off area, which is its new location. Another is to move and indicate data that is being dragged or moved. And lastly, the link to indicate that some of the forms of relationship or the connection that are going to be created. During the operation of dragging, the drag effects can be modified in order to indicate the certain effects are all allowed at a certain location. If ever that it is allowed, a drop mat also appears on the location.
• Define a drop area. By default, the browser prevents anything that may happen when dropping something into HTML elements. If this is the case of your browser, it is best to go to it default setting and change it to allow changes for your website. Once you are done, you can now define the appropriate area on the site as your drop off or new location.
• Retrieving data. At some points, you might need to retrieve some of the dragged elements. This may be due to some reasons that. When the drop occurs, the drag and drop website builder still allows you to undo these changes. That way, you never have to worry if you ever think that you will need to move your elements around once again.

And because this website builder is like a ready-made developer, you do not need advance knowledge about codes or programming. Thus, you save a lot of effort, time and money in doing so.
