There was a quite a long thread on Mr Site not that long ago. Can't find the damn thing now.

I built a site with Mr Site. It was ok and easy to use

I've moved on to Serif Web plus X4 now

One thing I do remember is it was cheaper on Amazon than going direct to Mr Site. It was so cheap it was worth trying just to see if it did the job

Serif takes a bit more effort but it does better sites

It depends what you sell and what you want to achieve.

I know it's very popular with crafters who want to sell their wares, because it's affordable and, I'm told, easy to use.

I bought it about a year ago and did not use it in the end. Personally, i think it is very limited in it's capabilities but then can you really expect more for £99 (or whatever it costs now). I suppose it can do the job if you just want a basic 5-6 pages brochure type site for anything else IMO it looks unprofesional.

Another Serif Webplus X4 fan over here! Fairly cheap to buy the software, easy-ish to use after a bit of playing around with it, and you can design it (site) exactly how you want it to look...also options for making it more search engine friendly etc. I'd say it's by far the best I've used so far without having to use HTML or a 'proper' web designer.

I'd give Mr Site a miss. Tried it myself against everyones advice and was disappointed at its limitations etc.

the Princes Trust were handing out free Mr Sites a year or so ago great idea that, bet all the web designers on there email list were reallyyyyy happy with that marketing idea.

for £99 you can get a wide variety of alternatives depending on your experience with web design, if you have basic HTML knowledge you can try Joomla, Wordpress and many others.

You can get a 30 page Mr Site for 22.41 on Amazon

If you relax it's no harder to use than a spreadsheet. I know one young lad who started a car valetting business. He had not used it before. He wrote a Site over a weekend and it was quite presentable

This version lacks the easy built-in SEO capabilities of Mr Site Professional

If you need an information website up in a hurry I'd blow 22.41 on Mr Site

If you want a better quality website and are prepared to spend time learning how to use it then I'd say Webplus X4

Both seem great value to me
