We are looking for opinions about our site builder from Hosting companies. We released it a month ago with a unique technology.

It is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari. It has advanced features as for instance a database creation / management (forms creation, etc,...) and a shopping cart.

It is called Drag and drop sitecreator. To test it as an end user, you can go to www.sqlf.com/login.php with username "iwdn" and password "12345"
There are also more info on the software and a demo on dragdropsitecreator.com

I am eager to get any feedback, positive and negative on it.

Thanks jphilpson. Could you tell us what in the interface needs the most to be reworked and what software / interface we could take as an example to rebuild ours?

Little more user friendly maybe. and some more features like HTML features where they can put in teh actual code stuff for tables etc... maybe even a templates list to choose from.

Well for this we have already.

The template list appear when you are a new user. Some of the templates of the list are displayed on www.dragdropsitecreator.com/templatespage.php I can create a new user account for you to test it and give me feedback on the templates available and selection process.

For the HTML coding, it is possible to do it within a layer ( "<>" to click in the editor in the advanced version when you are in the text editor within a layer). It is possible to modify the source code generated of the entire page as well. More of a pro type of feature of course. For this you need to install the package "File manager". I am not a tech. guy myself. But if you want the directions on how to do it, I can ask one of our programmers how to modify the source code of the pages you create from within the software/browser.

And for the user friendly aspect, could you tell me what specifically gives you problems? The more precise is the comment the better we can work on the improvement.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write about your experience!
