MCWE is a tool that allows web developers to change the site’s design without editing CSS files. MCWE is a Drupal module that is very easy to install in the site’s core. After activation, a block appears that offers the possibility to change CSS styles in the page. When the MCWE is active web masters can select every object in the page and edit everything. Moreover, web developers can scale the HTML tree. There is a possibility to access the parents tag and then the children tag. The opposite direction from parent to children also is possible. When the object is captured, the panel with all the styles helps web masters to change the aspect of page. All styles CSS is separated in some sections like: position, backgrounds, text, fonts. In that section web developers can set value to CSS property. There are some widgets that allow simplifying the editing CSS process: autocomplete, the panel with general style for people that don’t know CSS. Also there is a possibility to control the styles that were set. In that compartment web developer has all the styles that have been set in the site with MCWE from the beginning till now. In addition, web master can disable and edit all the style and set the page where the CSS style will work. MCWE is a new project and is better that the traditional way of editing CSS style, because due to MCWE, web master can see the change in the browser and save CSS style in the browser without opening, changing and saving CSS files. Also MCWE is a useful tool for simple administrators of sites that want to correct a simple bug without calling web masters.
