Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fodeh Cloud?

Fodeh Cloud is a hosted platform (outside of the WordPress), aiming to provide a more streamlined experience when creating landing pages & multi-page websites. It offers unlimited hosting space and enticing free publishing options.

WordPress is a great tool, but when you only need a landing page or a professional multi-page website fast, WordPress is not the solution you need if you want to be agile. 

Another thing to consider is that you'll need to host, install, secure and manage WordPress yourself. With Fodeh Cloud all that overhead is handled exclusively by us, and with our publishing options you can (realistically) be up and running in minutes.

Can I use the Cloud for free?

Yes. 

The Cloud allows anyone to create an unlimited number of projects, for Free. You only need a free account (takes 30 seconds to create).

The projects are hosted on our blazing fast servers and you can publish your project using subdomain option.

What is a drag and drop website builder?

A drag and drop website builder is a user-friendly web design tool that allows you to create and customize web pages without needing to know how to code. With a drag and drop page builder, you can use a visual interface to drag elements (such as images, text boxes, buttons, and other widgets) and drop them onto a page to create a layout.

How does a drag and drop page builder work?

A drag and drop website builder works by providing a visual interface where you can design and customize web pages without needing to write code. Here's a general overview of how it works:

  1. Choose a template or start with a blank canvas: Drag and drop website builders usually offer a variety of templates to choose from. You can select a pre-designed template and modify it to your liking, or you can start with a blank canvas and create your layout from scratch.
  2. Drag and drop elements onto the page: Once you have your canvas or template, you can start adding elements to the page. These elements can include text, images, videos, buttons, forms, and more. You can simply drag and drop them onto the page wherever you want them to appear.
  3. Customize the elements: Once you have added an element to the page, you can customize it. You can adjust its size, position, and styling by using the visual interface or by tweaking its properties in a side panel or menu


Do I need any coding knowledge to use a drag and drop page builder?

No, you don't need any coding knowledge to use a drag and drop website builder. These website builders are designed to be user-friendly and require no coding skills. Instead, they use a visual interface that allows you to simply drag and drop elements onto the page and customize them without any knowledge of HTML, CSS, or other programming languages.

Is it possible to create responsive websites using a drag and drop website builder?

Yes, it is possible to create responsive websites using a drag and drop website builder. In fact, most modern drag and drop website builders are designed to create responsive websites that adapt to different screen sizes, such as those on mobile phones and tablets.

When you use a drag and drop website builder to create a website, you typically work with a visual interface that shows you how the website will look on different devices. You can preview the website in desktop, tablet, and mobile views and make adjustments to ensure that it looks good on all screen sizes.

Are drag and drop page builders SEO-friendly?

Drag and drop page builders can be SEO-friendly, but it depends on how you use them. Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Code quality: The code generated by a drag and drop page builder can affect your website's SEO performance. Some drag and drop website builders generate clean and optimized code, while others may generate bloated code that is difficult for search engines to crawl.
  2. Page speed: Page speed is an important factor in SEO. If your website loads slowly due to heavy images, scripts, or other elements, it can negatively impact your SEO performance. Most drag and drop website builders provide tools to optimize your images and other elements for fast loading.
  3. Mobile-friendliness: Mobile-friendliness is another important factor in SEO. If your website is not optimized for mobile devices, it can negatively impact your SEO performance. Most drag and drop website builders allow you to create responsive websites that adapt to different screen sizes, which can improve your mobile-friendliness.
  4. Structured data: Structured data can help search engines understand the content of your website better, which can improve your SEO performance. Some drag and drop website builders allow you to add structured data to your website easily.

In summary, drag and drop page builders can be SEO-friendly if you choose a builder that generates clean and optimized code, optimize your website for fast loading and mobile-friendliness, and add structured data to your website.

How does Server Sync publishing option works in the Cloud?

The idea behind this (Free) publishing option is that you’ll edit your projects in the Cloud and have them sync to your server instantly.


With Server Sync, you download a script from us, put them on your server via FTP, and you are done.

Any modification made on that project in the Cloud is synced instantly on your server. Now when the client wants modifications you just tell them to refresh the page (that sits on your server) while you are working in the Cloud.


This option is also great to prototype things in real time with your clients.

Can we export the sites to HTML?

Yes, there is an option to export the sites you create in Cloud to HTML. This option will provide you with a ZIP archive containing the files which you'll then be able to upload to your own server.
