Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a design interface that allows a user to design a webpage through a drag-and-drop method are described. In some cases, the interface allows the user to place content within the webpage using an absolute positioning technique. In such a technique, the user can place content in any position in the webpage, including overlapping other content, and the interface will automatically update the positioning data into the webpage's definition files. Additionally, in some cases, the interface automatically pushes content to a server in near real time. While in some instances the design interface is client-based, in preferred instances, the design interface is network based.
