Nope it is a application for developing HTML documents. PROVIDED you are already well versed and capable with web delopment markup language (HTML) and styling language (CSS).
frameworks can sometimes help.
more often than not though, the time it takes to get your head around the way they are designed (architecturally not visually) you'd be better sticking to your own tried and tested methods.
