Abstract: In a website development tool, a web server is configured to communicatively couple to an Internet browser. An Internet browser opens a website administered by the web server. The website generates interactive objects associated with the backend processing of the web server. The website development tool includes a theme editor portion arranged to modify themes associated with pages of the website. When a modification command received at the theme editor requests a change to a first web page theme, a first theme identifier is communicated to a sector system controller. A theme draft is created based on the first theme, and a new URL is created by incorporating the theme draft's identifier into the original website URL. When the new URL is communicated to the web server, the web server delivers a web page having a control panel interface to the theme editor to the Internet browser via a proxy.

Abstract: A website is opened in a website development tool, and pages of the website are served with a web server. The web server accepts user input arranged to direct interactive execution the web page being served. A design editor is opened while the web pages continue to be served. The design editor presents a digital graph paper image configured to display one or more separately identifiable groups of one or more grid blocks of the digital graph paper image. Each of the separately identifiable groups represents a displayable object included in at least one web page. User input into the design editor is arranged to select a sector of grid blocks and modify a set of characteristics associated with the sector. A build process and a deployment process are executed in real time and the modified web page is served in real time.
