Founded in 2012, Tel Aviv based Webydo is a code-free web design platform for freelance web designers and agencies. The company was founded on the premise that the web is increasingly turning into a creative medium. Until now, developers have enjoyed centre-stage, and Webydo is looking to change the tide by empowering individual designers to take control over the full creative process.
"Since the early days of web, it has all been about code creation. Our focus has been to develop a powerful code generator to help designers take control of the creative process," said Shmulik Grizim, the CEO and co-founder of Webydo.
In contrast to other major players in the code-free website marketplace - such as Wix - that court the DIY market, Webydo's approach is strictly B2B.
Funding: In June 2014, Webydo closed a $7 million Series B funding round, bringing the total investment to $9.7 million. Now there are rumors circulating that suggest an additional investment is on its way from a high profile VC.
