Studio.
A local visual website editor for people who want direct, design-oriented control without giving up the hand-coded source underneath.

What it is
BVM Studio sits between a visual page builder and a traditional code editor. It is designed for existing hand-coded websites, giving the user a live canvas without hiding or replacing the files that make the site work.
The project is built around confidence: direct manipulation when that is faster, source access when precision matters, and clear control over when changes reach disk.
How it works
A local website folder opens as an editable visual canvas. Elements can be selected, moved, restyled, or edited in place, while the document structure, style rules, and source remain available alongside the page.
- Turns an existing site into a direct-manipulation canvas
- Keeps visual edits and source edits in sync
- Protects the working files with preview, undo, and deliberate saving
