WEBDEV review
A Windows IDE combining visual editors, WLanguage, database tools and deployment workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WEBDEV is PC SOFT’s integrated development environment for building static and dynamic Internet and intranet sites, including database-connected applications. Its project dashboard brings together WYSIWYG page and report editors, a multi-editor environment and WLanguage, which it shares with WINDEV products. That combination is aimed at Windows teams that want visual page authoring alongside programming and database work, rather than a narrowly focused code editor.
Database support is a central part of the product. WEBDEV supports relational and non-relational databases, and its listed connections include HFSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and ODBC. An SQL query editor handles selecting and manipulating database data. The vendor also documents AI conversational features for the 2026 product line. This breadth makes WEBDEV relevant to teams maintaining database-backed sites across different database systems; teams looking for an IDE centered on another desktop platform or remote development should look elsewhere, since Windows is the listed platform and remote development is not supported.
Deployment options include remote site installation and updates over HTTP or FTP, as well as a Docker workflow for WEBDEV application servers. PC SOFT documentation also describes Linux application-server deployment. According to the vendor’s pricing information described for the product, purchasing is handled through contact with sales; the published material does not establish a license amount or a free plan. This makes WEBDEV a stronger fit for organizations prepared to evaluate costs directly with PC SOFT, especially those that value its database tooling and deployment options. Buyers who need transparent self-serve pricing or a free entry tier should consider alternatives.
