A must have. == Description = Zedity enables you to create posts and pages as naturally as writing on paper! With absolutely no coding skills required, creating professional content becomes incredibly easy and quick for anyone! >Are you still using Zedity series 5, 4 or other obsolete ones? We recommend all users to **update to the latest series 6**: brand new user interface, support for touchscreen devices, interactive tutorials and other [important features]( https://zedity.com/plugin/wpfeatures ). Enjoy the latest Zedity! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ws7OzSdDhs] Here are four major advantages of using Zedity: * **Easy for anyone**: no more need to deal with HTML, CSS and JavaScript code! Zedity enables you to create your posts and pages entirely visually, as naturally as sketching on a piece of paper, generating HTML5 code automatically for you. * **Total design freedom**: unprecedented flexibility and possibilities to create any desired design. For example: how would you place some text on top of an image? With the standard WordPress visual editor, it's just impossible. With Zedity, instead, you can do that, and much more than that, in just a few clicks. * **Saves you time**: what used to take you hours, will take you only minutes with Zedity! Furthermore, since you can do it by yourself and without hiring developers, you can also save some bucks! * **Dedicated technical assistance**: we love what we do and we assist you directly. If you encounter a problem, you need assistance or you think you found a bug or something to be improved, please [submit a ticket]( https://zedity.com/support ). We also reply to the questions on the forums, with a lower priority though. If you already used the plugin and would like to rate it, you're welcome.
