Morphology

builder = build (transparent) = build + er

Instrument/agent formation from 'build' is straightforward; a 'builder' as a software tool that 'builds' websites/apps is a direct extension of the verb.

Etymology

The word builder for software comes from build ('to make') plus -er 'one who does'. So a website or app builder is a tool that helps you 'put together' pages and features without writing code.
