online site builders

[mattyk50]

anyone recommend any that look half decent?

i know, i know, theyre not a patch on a properly built site. but its not worth the investment at the moment

I'd be daft not to reccommend our own "NSBuilder" system - www.nsdesign.co.uk/nsbuilder (http://www.nsdesign.co.uk/nsbuilder)

We're obviously biased, but it has been nominated for Scottish Software awards "best product" category :)

What is it for??

This is the one I keep reading about

http://www.mrsite.co.uk/

Have a laugh at this http://www.leehealey.com/ he bought one!

I think some of their customers examples are better looking than paid for websites. I don't know anything about the search engine side though and how these sites measure up from a techy point of view.

They are only £40 to buy and that includes a domain name. I've mentioned MrSite here and there and no one has actually given me a specific reason not to buy one apart from the usual "you get what you pay for" which doesn't really tell me much!

I guess they are a big thorn in the side of budget website builders;)

Unless I get told why I shouldn't buy , I think I'm going to buy one to run alongside my existing site.

If you want to make money online you need to spend money on a site which will do the job right. Most sitebuilding software I have used are fine for basic sites but for real business they are a big no no!

That website looks horrific.

That website looks horrific.

Quite agree - I put it up for a chuckle, however some of the examples look very smart to me and still no ones said specifically why not to have one:)

I have a range of sites that I create with MoonFruit. They may not be great SEO wise, but are just right for what I do.

Here are a couple of examples [in addition to the www.freelocal.co.uk and ww.seeitlocal.co.uk sites]

www.stainesramblers.co.uk
www.researchrecruitment.co.uk
www.rawnsleys.co.uk
www.griffincars.co.uk

If you wish to see more, let me know.

Good Luck

Hi

I use SBI from Sitesell.com

http://buildit.sitesell.com

I've been using it for about 20 months now and it is superb.

Let's me build my site, submits it to search engines only as and when they need to be submitted, has blogging and rss facilities along with Ezine facilities and god knows how much more.

Traffic to your site is the name of the game if you're selling or providing information, and my traffic has trebbled in the last 12 months, and it's still growing.
