Create engaging, interactive HTML5-based designs and motion graphics that can run on any device
Google Web Designer is an advanced web application that"s built with HTML5 which lets you design and build HTML5 advertisements and other web content using an integrated visual and code interface. Using Google Web Designer"s design view you can create content using drawing tools, text, and 3D objects, and you can animate objects on a timeline. Once you"re done creating your content, Google Web Designer outputs clean human-readable HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript.
When you create advertising creatives with Google Web Designer, you can use a library of components that lets you add image galleries, videos, ad network tools, and more.
Google Web Designer"s Code view lets you create CSS, JavaScript, and XML files, using syntax highlighting and code autocompletion to make your code easier to write, with fewer errors.
