Hotglue is a unique visual tool that allows users to create webpages online simply. It allows users to easily manipulate content to their liking and display things within minutes of using it to others online. HotGlue doesn't require any programming knowledge but allows users to creatively put content together on a page quite freely.
You can rotate, reshape, crop, clone and do many things with the tools on offer. Embed images, videos and more onto your website within a few clicks of using Hotglue. It is easy for beginners to mess around with and get a feel of how a website functions. It is also useful for more skilled website developers as they are easily able to create professional looking websites.
The Hotglue website provides us with helpful videos on what the tools are and how to use them effectively. There are 6 videos to choose from which range from the very basics towards the more advanced stuff. There is also a Hotglue manual page where you are able to read up on what is achievable with it.
In my personal opinion i have found Hotglue quite easy to use however it can take awhile to set up your site exactly as you want it. It is a great way for users to express their content without having to mess around with code which i have found extremely useful. Although i find it to be quite a basic way of manipulating content i believe it is a useful tool for learning how you are able to set up a basic website that users can interact with easily.
