I suggest using Windows Notepad =)
Software generate codes for you which is great but you never learn anything that way.

Not exactly a helpful post based on the thread starter's request.

I would have to put Soholaunch on top of the list.

Sitestudio is reportedly a bit buggy (I don't have first hand experience), and has limited features. Sitebuilder is nice, but neither one of these site builders compare to the feature rich offering of SL. Shopping cart, blog, newsletter, photo album, calendar, plenty of great stuff. The only negative is that there is currently a bug with SL/Fantastico relating to the creation of the home page when using the Wizard (to be fixed soon). Other than that, very robust application. Decent pricing too.

Hi,
I have been looking at site building software for our clients as well, and lean away from site studio as it is pretty resource intense.

I looked at the others listed, and from one I found at another forum.. I am getting ready to look harder at this new one, dragdropsitecreator. I just saw their site yesterday, but got busy.

Has anyone had the time to try it out yet? Any reviews? It dose look pretty nice and the pricing is a lot better if your looking to offer something as a free service to try pulling in more novice (newbie) customers.

I have been getting a lot of requests for web site builers from customers, and trying to find a product that will be able to be added without hitting the bank to hard, but something that dose a good job too.
Anyone tried it yet?

Thanks,
Tim L

Soholaunch for us BUT they have recently made some improvements (fixed bugs) and it is really simple, we finally figured out it was simple but not intuitive. So we bought the video training demo, problem solved. (My best example is that when you want to "trash" something you bring the "trash can" to the object, not drag the object to the trash...just the opposite of what computer users are accustomed to. Perfect example of working fine but counter-intuitive and a potential problem if there are no detailed instructions)

We have a one client who really tricked out all the customizable stuff (page backgrounds, effects, etc) and built a site you would never know wasn't from a web designer in 2-3 days. (Of course she sells art stuff so I guess coordinating custom colors & textures was a breeze for her)

Looks impressive to me.

cd brian, you seem to be signing up to a lot of forums to make this exact same post.
Starting to look a little like spam.

What is your affiliation with this company?

Well, I'm running my own web hosting company at <<MOD NOTE: URL removed. Promotions are prohibited in main forums.>> That is what i'm thinking of getting the site builder for my customers.

So without even trying it why are you siging up to forums and promoting it?

Most hosts these days have a site builder. The field of choices is growing bigger. I think it is important to keep up with any new ones whether you have one already or not. Yes I realize I may be biased being a vendor of site builders

Deciding on the right site builder is not as straight forward as picking a control panel or an operating system where there are long-time established players. Each site builder has its strengths and weaknesses. My own advice on how to pick one....

- If you can get an evaluation copy, do so. If possible, test it with some users who are really building a site and not just 'kicking it around'.

- When comparing features, try to visualize how important each one is to the portion of your customer base that is likely to use the site builder.

- Determine how the site builder will help you promote your offering. Does it have demos, tutorials or other materials that will enhance your offer?

- Test out the support. Knowing up front what level of support to expect will save time and frustration down the road.

Sam, I have been using SiteZen for the last 6 months or so.
Are you suggesting I should be shopping around still?

Well if you have not even looked at another site builder then I have to say I am flattered.
