Methods and systems for web content generation

A method of copying content from one webpage to another comprising the steps of:

• providing an electronic device comprising at least a microprocessor, the electronic device configured to:
• open a first webpage within a web based application within a web browser;
• process every item of content of the first webpage with the web based application to establish a plurality of identified assets, each identified asset rendered as part of the first webpage;
• process each identified asset of the plurality of identified assets with a plurality of copy page algorithms to convert the identified asset from its current source to establish a converted asset which is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) directly editable asset supporting direct drag-and-drop manipulation within the web based application having the formatting and visible characteristics of the original identified asset where each converted asset is normalized to a common format providing consistent rendering across multiple electronic devices and multiple web browsers;
• copy a predetermined portion of the plurality of converted assets;
• paste or direct the copied predetermined portion of the plurality of converted assets to generate a second webpage within the web based application;
• receive user actions from a user whilst they access the second webpage within the web based application;
• manipulate directly within the web based application in dependence upon the received user actions by a user each pasted or directly copied converted asset of the plurality of converted assets within the web based application;
• and
• store the second webpage within a memory;
• wherein
• the predetermined portion of the plurality of converted assets are normalized to a common format rather than the format of each original identified asset of the plurality of assets;
• a direct manipulation of a converted asset of the predetermined portion of the plurality of converted assets pasted or directed to the second webpage within the web based application is one of an edit, a resize, a move, a copy, a paste, and a deletion;
• the second webpage is a new webpage distinct and independent from the first webpage;
• and
• the second webpage is editable independent of the first webpage.
