I have tried Webeden a few weeks ago and from all the website builders i have tried so far (and I have tried many!), Webeden has been the best.
It actually uses the same software as Moonfruit, but the support made the difference!
Wedeben is really a must try and it’s free!
Review by Pierre, July 7, 2009
Good Value for money but i was quite disappointed by the support team…
Review by Natasha, July 7, 2009
I Really Love Moonfruit. It’s affordable and really easy to use! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Review by Ray, July 7, 2009
I have had the chance to try it a while ago and i was quite impressed: it’s cheap and easy to use!
Review by Ray, July 7, 2009
Not the easiest one to manage, not the cheapest but this one comes with a set advances features that you may not be able to find on more basic tool like the Daily website builder
Review by Erica, July 7, 2009
I’m very happy so far with my 123 Reg website. It has been very easy to build and set up and the layout looks quite pro.
Review by Julian, July 7, 2009
I did try this one before choosing the Webden’s site. Not that Ewisoft is not good, but Webeden’s system has been easier to sure and the support was better too!
Review by Mike Klennal, July 8, 2009
I honestly never thought that I’d be able to build a website myself. But I’ve done it. And its great! OK, I am no Michaelangelo but all the same. WebEden makes it very easy to build sites.
Review by Sarah McBride, July 14, 2009
Gotta love Moonfruit! I remember them advertising on TV back in 1999 – a bloke playing basket ball I think. I tried building a website with them back then and it was totally amazing! Then I forgot about it for years and just recently came back to them. And hey presto they’re still doing it all. You can get a free package which I like! I am on Max now which is still pretty good value
Review by Tim Jenkins, July 14, 2009
I built a website with Daily ‘Instant Website’. Its not the cheapest here but its pretty easy to use. I’ve got all my domains in their control panel so it seemed like the easiest thing to just add in the Website Builder. You get to choose from lots of templates, which can suit whatever type of site you want. Support was awesome – can’t fault them for that!
Review by Stuart Miller, July 14, 2009
I have been a customer of Fasthosts for donkey’s years. I chose them in the first place because they basically advertise all over the place! Their Sitebuilder is hidden in the basic hosting account so I say that its not that easy to find compared to some other providers here. However once you get into it its pretty easy to use, and the support is good. My site is pretty simple but you get all the tools to make it bigger. Big company too, which gives you some security.
Review by David Samuels, July 14, 2009
I used 1and1 My Busines site and it certainly ain’t cheap! Still its pretty easy to use and my site looks good. I have added lots of bells and whistles – a feedback form, a forum and other stuff, which is cool. I don’t want to go on about it but it isn’t cheap when you look at the price of others here. Still once you’ve got a site with someone they’ve kind of got you! OK overall
Review by Fran Parsons, July 14, 2009
I have been buying domain names at 123-reg for a long time, and I use their email service too. Its really easy if you are a beginner (which I am!!!). I have tried building a site on their system and I think it looks alright. I was pretty easy to use, although its a shame its not free. The only problem is that you usually have to stick to the template you first used which is a bit of a pain. Overall its pretty good though.
Review by Ted Conrad, July 14, 2009
OK don’t get me wrong, I really like Easyspace and their sitebuilder isnt’ bad but its nothing to write home about. Its been around for years, and they don’t exactly make it easy to buy. But there is great support and I think that accounts for a lot these days. I’d recommend them purely on that basis. Not that cheap.
Review by Tooley Parsonage, July 14, 2009
Homestead have been around since about the dawn of time! Its really easy to build a website and the TOTAL upside is that its free, which I like!! Sites are all standard and template based but they still look pretty good. Only downside is support, oh and the fact that they’re based in USA. I’d really prefer to deal with UK company but you can’t have everything
Review by Tony Mont, July 14, 2009
Yeah I’d agree with the guy above but wait for it you only get Homestead for 1 MONTH ONLY and then it costs you $5 per month! That’s ain’t free, and it ain’t cheap either. Good tool though, I like it

UK2 are really cool! They used to have a really rubbish site but now its really great, and the support is awesome too. They don’t do their own website builder, but its called rapidsite I think. Anyway its probably best for more advanced people because you have to get cpanel and then you click to enable the website builder. Once you’ve done that its really easy though and they will help you out with any support stuff
Review by Terry D'arbly, July 31, 2009
I liked using it, but found it quite hard to find. Once you get familiar with the set up, its pretty easy. I’ve used lots of these site builders in the past and they all seem quite similar. So the most important thing is for you to get good support for service.
Review by Gary Hentol, July 31, 2009
I honestly urge anyone to just have a go at building a website witih Moonfruit. Its easy easy easy. I am a complete beginner but I reckon my site looks very good. Its free as well, which means you can get used to using it without it costing you at the same time. If you want to put lots of photos on you’ll need to go for one of the paid packages tho’
Review by Marcus Brown, July 31, 2009
I used 1and1 to build a website with their MyBusiness Site pack and man it is good. Really easy to sign up and then you get access to loads of tools. Its not just a website but you can actually use it to market your site too, with email and stuff like that. Only draw back was the price which hurt me a bit.

I built a website with Daily and it was pretty easy. Paid for their Instant Website basic package which was all I really need to get up and running with my site. I haven’t spent much time tinkering with it but its fine for now. It looks like if you upgrade then there is a lot to choose from. I may want to sell stuff through my site soon.
Review by Emma Hodge, July 31, 2009
I built my first website with WebEden a couple of years ago and I just came back and did another one! Its really easy to use, you should just have a go. Its now free which it didn’t used to be. I haven’t tried support yet but you get loads of tutorials and stuff on the site, and also they’re on Twitter so you can get hold of them. Give it a try.
Review by Grace Belamy, July 31, 2009
OK do not expect me to be impartial on this because I totally love Moonfruit. Its like using a free form design program on your desktop. Some of my mates swear by Dreamweaver etc but I reckon you get better results from Moonfruit. OK its not good for databases and all that but you can’t have everything! And that’s all boring stuff anyway.
Review by Charles todd, July 31, 2009
Yeah I’d agree with the other comments. Support is great but the website building tools isn’t brilliant. It sits on your PC whcih is OK – it makes changes very fast, no waiting for your browser to update etc. But the sites are quite simple too, nothing too complex. Oh well I guess I should just learn how to use the proper web hosting!
Review by Mark Telford, July 31, 2009
If you’re happy usign cpanel then you’re going to have no problem building a website with the UK2 systems. you need to sign up to web hosting first and then enable your site builder. Support is pretty good and the sites I’ve built so far don’t look bad.
Review by Mandy Simmons, July 31, 2009
I build quite a few websites, sometimes using html as I am a bit of a techy. What I would say about WebEden is that design wise you won’t find anything better. Its really customised, your limit is your imagination. They have also done some quite cool stuff with Facebook etc. Loads of extra info and support on their website, so that’s a definite plus point
Review by Marin Banff, July 31, 2009
Very good, easy to use. I built a website no problem and now I can use it to update Facebook and Twitter. And it starts out being free which is great! Join the Moonfruit revolution.
Review by Barry Telmere, July 31, 2009
I built a website with Fastshosts and found it all very easy. They have a website building tool inside all their hosting packages, so you can either build a website using the templates, or just upload your own to the webspace. I’ve had no problems at all, and would recommend it.
Review by Cathy Ensim, July 31, 2009
Very easy to use Sitebuilder but man do they go over the top trying to sell it to you. And it costs too, somewhere around $10 a month, £6 which means that its probably only right for business people. Sites look good to give them their due.
Review by Paula Siddle, July 31, 2009
Got one thing to say about Ewisoft and that is OLD SCHOOL! It has honestly all moved on since people built websites with this sort of thing. They have been around a long time so must have thousands and thousands of sites out there. Won’t be long before people find better systems though.
Review by Richard Tong, July 31, 2009
Very easy to use system this one. I’ve only tried a couple of the others and at least with WebEden you can do it for free which is good. You can buy domain names and get email too which means that you get everything in 1 place. I am a big fan
Review by Jamie Hale, August 12, 2009
I am a complete beginner to this website building thing and I have to say that its all been a breeze with webeden. I don’t think my site looks that great but its probably because of my skills rather than the system. just search on google for webeden and you can see lots of sites that have been built with it because its always .webeden.co.uk. most of them are better than mine lols! I put a few of my own images no problem. Next step is to get Twitter on there!
Review by Wayne D, August 12, 2009
They say on their website that its beautiful websites and that is about right! I used one of the tempates called ‘clean I think’, anyway straight out the box it looked better. I added photos no problem, and now I’ve got a forum on there, all very easy. Upgraded to my own domain. Free email (webmail).
Review by Amber Michaels, August 12, 2009
I used the sitebuider but and my site looks fine, I invite everyone to check it out. You can usually get hold of someone on the phone in case you hit a brick wall but no guarantees they will be able to help! I am definitely going to give some of the others a try too as some of them are free.
Review by Nigel Harlow, August 12, 2009
I’ve got a Instant Website with daily, paid for a year upfront. These sorts of things take a bit of practice but once you have the hang of things its honestly really easy to use. My friends can’t tell that it wasn’t built by a web designer so I’m pretty happy with it. You get a free domain name with it too
Using Mr Site has allowed me to create my own website with minimum fuss and maximum results. It was really easy and saved me so much money, plus I have complete control over everything. I’ve had interviews with international news channels and newspapers and my website content has even found its way into publication!
After reading about Mr Site I thought it was too good to be true but to my surprise I built a website in two evenings and found myself on page one of a major search engine within weeks for the term “Sash Window London”. My website has created many new customers for my business in such a short time – a truly great find.
Using Mr Site has enabled me to promote my jewellery to a broad audience in a very professional way. It is easy to use and has lots of options to make the most of the pieces I make!
Mr Site is amazing. It’s simple to use and there isn’t much that you can’t do with it. It’s really nice to know that I’m in complete control of how my website is viewed.
Review by Paul Ben, September 30, 2009
I just did a search for building a website and I cam across webeden. No problems so far, and their blog is very good for hints and tips and news and stuff like that. I haven’t had to use the support yet, and since it starts from free I’ve got to give them full marks on price. All in all its very easy to use and am please with the results
Review by Neal Bridge, September 30, 2009
Easy to use system, I’ve got no gripes at all. I’ve had to use their support a few times which was brilliant, but I’m not sure I am making them any moeny. The more you do it the better you get. Its a business website, in this climate I couldn’t afford a proper web designer so this is a good option for now.
Review by Gavin Man, September 30, 2009
Built a free website with Moonfruit and it looks pretty good. The system is very easy to use, and even someone like me can make a good site! I’m just using a template at the moment but I might try something that’s completely off the wall. Got to work out the domain stuff but I can do that with Moonfruit too.
Review by Silvan Dyer, September 30, 2009
Fine, no problems. I used to mess around with the code, none of that for me! Its realy easy, straight forward and looks pretty good to, even if I do say so myself
Review by Verity Sunhiil, September 30, 2009
OK well I thought I would put my two penneth in for what its worth! Homestead is a good product, I’ve been using it for about 5 years with absolutely no problems. The support is good, the sites look OK. I don’t think that its exactly cutting edge any more but once you’ve got your site somewhere its not exactly easy to move it.
Review by Ben Shields, October 2, 2009
Product is OK but having found this site I’ve now looked at what others can offer so I think I might make the switch! As someone else mentioned here though, its not easy to move your site – in fact I don’t think you can, so make your choice wisely! Homestead is OK, not that cheap but its definitely easy to use.
Review by Peter Barn, October 2, 2009
I used the 1&1 mybusiness website maker and truth be told its very very good. But at £10 per month its not cheap either! My website does look professional and you get lots of business tools too, such as the chance to get email addresses and also send visitors to your website. However probably good for business owners and no-one else just because of the price
Review by Dan Brad, October 2, 2009
I am a big big fan of Webeden which is why I want to leave my feedback here! You simply cannot get an easier tool to build a website, I guarantee you. The support is just on email, but they have loads of video tutorials for you to watch if you get stuck. You can also keep up to date with Internety news with their blog. Like I said I am big fan and I got one of my sites on their gallery!
Review by Harry P, October 2, 2009
I bought Mr site in PC World I think. Just put the disk in my PC and it helps you sign up. Its a great system, I wouldn’t have thought that I could build a website but this proves I can!
Review by Andy, October 4, 2009
Heart Internet is the only web host/domain name registrar I have ever come across which forces customers to receive commercial emails from them. They keep bombarding me with unwanted emails flogging things, which I do not want and do not have any unsubscribe option. This is therefore, as per legislation, defined as spam.
Review by Paul Riazanov, October 7, 2009
I am building and managing my website with Site123 building system. I never thought that with a superficial knowledge in web building such as mine, I could ever build a site myself. But now it is reality, thanks to the Site123 tools, unusually easy-to-handle interface, devoted tech support available by email, live chat and phone, and a comprehensive online training centre containing videos and detailed articles. I urge everyone to come and try for themselves.

I just had an awesome bit of support from WebEden so I think I should leave my feedback here.
Never mind that the software is seriously easy to use, if you run into problems then they’re really quick to sort them out, which makes a big difference believe me! They also give you lots of tutorials which are good if you’re not very experienced (again, like me!). Top marks for support though.
Review by Dave G, October 8, 2009
I remember these guys from ages ago, they know what they’re doing! I don’t actually use their website builder but just the hosting, which is very reliable. I recommend them. Good support.
As a computer technician and a freelance web designer, I get many customers asking me to build them a website that would have an easy-to-use management system.
After discovering Site123.com, my work has became easier – I build websites using simple but powerful tools, then I hand out a ready website to often unknowledgeable customers, which find the interface understandable and simple.
I can recommend this solution to pretty much anyone!
Review by C Rhode, October 15, 2009
Awful! Without parrallel. Truly DIRE
Do not touch them. You may be lucky and not have a problem, but if (or when) you do, you will find them truly impossible to deal with. They bill you for things that they admit they are unable to prove you owe. They lock your account until you pay. When you pay, they cannot find the details. They don’t read emails, and reply to emails with questions that are already answered quite clearly in the email they have replied to.
If you like being tied up in knots and being unable to get to the bottom of the problem, if you have massive amounts of time to invest in endless and pointless correspondence, by all means waste your money, your time, and your life in dealing with these people.
If you have any sense, and few resources that you want to throw away, look elsewhere. The web is full of people describing how impossible this bunch of incompetents are to deal with.
I was with this company for a number of years and what they provided wasn’t bad, until I used their E-Commerce package. The package itself wasn’nt too bad, but the support was poor. The main problem with 1 and 1 was that they charged extra for items that were not part of the package and not used. When approached about it they failed to respond or correct the problem. The site should have cost £9.99 per month but ended up at over £400 for ten months. The charges included an SSL certificate which was not requested nor attached a “Websitebuilder”, which was not needed or used and other items, which for the moment escape me. If you use these people, carefully check what you are paying for.
I have used this product for a number of years and it keeps getting better, every time I think I am a guru they add something else! I have tried all the site builders and this is by far the best, it gives you everything. all you need is imagination.
We have two websites through Reason8 crystalsbyenchantment.com (mine) and psychicmalcolm.com my husbands, and have now been with them for almost 2 years. The basic websites I built in approximately 3-4 days friends of ours have waited months for ‘experts’ to build theirs for them. If someone had told me that I would be able to build my own websites and manage them day to day I would have laughed at them but I did and still do. In that first few weeks I was onto ‘Martin’ (one of he most patient people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with) it seemed like every few hours day and night. I’m sure he never sleeps, usually because I had pressed the wrong button and he just went in at his end and sorted it out. When the sites went ‘live’ it was so simple and we have never looked back. I have watched the system evolve over the years and still to this day I can ring up or email the support team and within minutes they are back with answers or fixing what I have done wrong! I sell one off crystals and the ability to go in immediately and remove (hide) items I have sold is one of the most important things for me. Our businesses have gone from strength to strength and we have absolutely no problems in recommending Reason8 to anyone they promised commitment, service and backup and we have had, and still get it all. A comment I received from one of my customers on 2nd January I really love your site and could buy one of everything. Says it all I think.
I have tried on several occasions to build a website but without much luck. I was recommended Reason8 by a friend who already has a successful website with them. They were so helpful and I was able to get my site up and running very quickly. Their designers created a template for me how I wanted it. I am now in the top 5 for my keywords worldwide, so the work they do getting your site found really works. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs a website for their business. The biggest difference I found was to be able to work with really people who didn’t talk to me in jargon.
Review by Nancy Goddard, November 10, 2009
I actually built a website with Sythasite when it was first launched. It was pretty good then and it keeps getting better, so I’m very pleased. They changed their name to Yola but its the same system. If you go pro which I now have you can buy a domain name and build loads more sites, up to 20 ish I think. Give it a go.
Review by Hal, November 16, 2009
Sitebuilder may be fine, but Fasthosts is anything but…Customer service is completely and utterly non existent, however customer service is essential as Fasthosts seem to attract more than the average in terms of system problems. Any support mail that achieves a response is answered by patronising idiots who simply don’t know what they are doing. Whatever happens, the issues are NEVER addressed. There is no complaints procedure, there is no way of contacting any Fasthosts management who reside in ivory towers, and obviously couldn’t give a hoot what their customers think of them. Before choosing Fasthosts, you would be better off wandering down to your local primary school, where you should ask the children if any of them would provide you with a similar service, you’d honestly get a better response from them, and service too. Do yourself a favour, and KEEP WELL AWAY FROM FASTHOSTS!
I have been with Fasthosts for 3 years and their web hosting has worked well. However, their e-mail is pretty poor and seems to go down often. I also had major problems with their recommended card payments service and no-one at Fasthosts knew how it worked. This service is also VERY expensive.
This is my first web building experience and I’m obsessed! In just one week I’ve uploaded photos, added links and haven’t even read any instructions! That’s how user-friendly it is. If you lack the confidence to dive in there’s a comprehensive step-by-step beginner’s guide and a list of every FAQ. I love it and have recommended it to 3 others. Don’t delay try it today! You’ll be delighted with your professional-looking website that has cost you nothing at all!
I can say in all honesty that building a website hosted by Reason8 is the best career move I have ever made!!I am painter and started building my website with Reason8 nearly 3 years ago, as a way of displaying my artwork and running a business from home. I am a mother of three small children and running an on-line business suits me perfectly. In the three years I have had the website I have undertaken commissions and sold paintings to people on all continents. My paintings are organised in series based around themes or subjects. To give just some examples of successes: My MOTHERHOOD SERIES was found by a university lecturer in Brisbane, Australia, who put my paintings on the syllabus for her students and uses my artwork as a backdrop for university conferences. She recently published a book and used a painting from the Motherhood page for the book cover.ᅠ http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28011 My LANGUAGE SERIES was found by someone who organises Language Festivals. In the year 2007 most paintings from the LANGUAGE page appeared on posters, in newspapers and were made into a small book. http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28620ᅠandhttp://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=53820 The SHAMANISM SERIES has been visited by people from all over the UK and indeed all over the world. My website was visited by a prominent UK author who is now using my artwork in his books and has recommended my work to his colleagues and publisher. http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28627ᅠ Just this week I was contacted by a French professor in Mathematics to discuss the possibility of producing a series of paintings about concepts in higher mathematics and quantum physics&The list goes on and on! Since building the website I have sold artwork to people in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the USA, most European countries to mention but a few. I have gone from painting in my studio at home and selling work locally to running an international business on-line. Do I need to say more?!Visitors to my website give the feedback that it is easy to navigate and that the artwork looks stunning. People have told me that they have visited my website for inspiration regarding their own website. The Reason8 software is easy to use and videos offering tutorials in various aspects of website building are available any time. On the few occasions I have got stuck, I have contacted customer support and they have always responded quickly and helpfully. To sum it up: the service Reason8 provides has allowed me the website of my dreams and this website has brought me opportunities beyond my wildest dreams!
I have had my main site since February and it’s been great. I have called customer support in that time (my own inadequacy) and they were brilliant. They provide endless help via the forum/monthly newsletters/video tutorials, not just on page building but on rankings and search engines too. For a few pounds a month you can have five seperate sites which is more than my imagination stretches to. They even have their own directory so you can glean ideas from others. What more can you ask?
The paypal sales cart uneases me, but that’s a tiny grump.
Have been using Webeden for over 2 years, I am very pleased with the results. Both the sites I have online are well received and rated highly by client.
The Sitemaker Software is easy to use even for a novice, though any one, including experienced webmasters could find this software a boon and another weapon in their armoury.
The latest update to the design features, the Editor and the redesigned Edit Facility. Extra Tools have given users a first class entry level into web design.
I have been designing website with webeden for a very long time, its by far the best and I have tested a lot.
Well Done guys, keep up the high standards and good work.
Review by Allan, February 3, 2010
Support staff are useless: rude, slow, wrong.
Too many outages, frequent server errors, making it almost impossible to do anything of any consequence. Site builder is painfully slow and continually fails. Dont try to FTP anything large.
Avoid atall costs. Dont see how they can stay in business for much longer,
This is the first time I have ever tried to build a website. I chose WebEden and could not be happier.Every time I phone the staff could not be more helpful no matter what the query has been and have gone above and beyond the level of service that I have expected. My site is now up and running and everyone who has seen it has said how great it looks. It is easy to update and is starting to attract interest from customers. A huge thank you for all the support that I have had from everyone at WebEden. Brilliant.
I built my website from Mr Site over a period of several days. I do of course keep adding fresh content, and I find it easy enough to do that. As mine is an information-type site I don`t have need for a shopping cart, checkout etc, so I haven`t any first hand knowledge of any particular problems in that area.
I have found using Ewisoft to build my Website was very easy because of the easy to follow instructions. I’m not online yet but soon will be once I get my registration paid up.
Thanks to the team at Ewisoft for making my website possible.
Go hard bro’s you’re number one!!
I have been using Site123 CMS for more then 2 years, Never met
a Company so pleased to serve, Chat, Mail or Phone.
I have had some experience with static sites before, but, as for now, life has never been easier.
Easy SEO Tools, Dynamic Design capabilities and Easy content
management, 2 thumbs Up for Site123.
I have recently become a moonfruit expert (yes, it didn’t take long) where I set up http://www.Easyproblinds.com selling roman blind kits and how to make roman blinds tutorials. I receive orders almost everyday now as it becomes more and more popular. I get email forwarding, and traffic stats, plus it links to google analytics. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I found Reason 8 by accident. I was trawling through the websites looking for something I could do myself at a reasonable cost. I am a diver by trade and had absolutely no idea how to start a website. When I looked into it and read a bit about HTML, it just left me cold. Reason 8 said I needed none of that. Their site said I could just click to add pictures, video, paste from word documents, sell goods etc.? This was more like it, so I thought, I’d give it a go. They let me run a free site for a few weeks to see how it would look. I was impressed and I hadn’t spent a penny. I bought a web address, transferred it over to them and there it was, looking fantastic. If you have a problem, you can phone them, and get this, you can always speak to a real person. A person who knows how to help you. The amount of books I sell every month easily pays for the site. I’ve had orders from the USA, Australia, Fiji, Malaysia, and? Skegness, to name just a few. Set up a free account, see how it looks, then make your mind up. It’s soooo easy, and I love it.
Review by David Winterbourne, May 6, 2010
I am currently building a moonfruit website and I wanted to let you know that I am loving it! Its so easy, I reckon even my 8 year old son could do it. At the moment I am just using the free one but then that’s all I need. I honestly would recommend anyone to try it out.
Review by Ann E Taylor, May 6, 2010
I have always sold online using other peoples platforms ebay and amazon but wanted my own shop I worked out that on average I was paying £50 a month to list and sell items on these platforms so I decided that I would use this as my budget. I’m reasonably literate when it comes to computer systems but I knew that I wanted a professional easy to update website.
I trialled 4 different sites and found that the site which offered me the greatest flexibility was Site Builder DIY. I was impressed by the no tie in trial which I didn’t even need to submit card details for. I was impressed that when I called for help someone answered the phone and I was impressed by how easy it was to set up an e-commerce website that looked professional and seemed instant as I already had a paypal account I’m using a paypal check out. The site has a range of templates and suggests content which makes it feel like a step by step process. I themed my site around the colours used in my brand name it took me 16 days to set the site up using an existing template the Eshop has a stock system and its really easy to upload and resize images.
I had a little bit of help setting up an email and redirecting the domain but it’s value for money. I’m paying around £35 a month and for that I get a fully operating site that I update and use to sell my products which are mainly gardening items.
I can spend my time selling and SiteBuilderDIY looks after everything else.
SiteBuilder is a fantastic product. I tried lots of web building software but nothing compared to the functionality that SiteBuilder provides.
As a totally non technical person, I really enjoyed the whole process. I did need to check with SiteBuilder on how to do some of the more advanced features, and I found them unbelievably supportive. They responded instantly and didn’t baffle me with language that I couldn’t understand.
The results are very professional and surpass any expectations I had.
I think this is a great product and it saved us lots of money, which as a small start-up business is always important.
SiteBuilder gives you 30 days to play before you pay, which shows how confident they are about their product.
Well done to SiteBuilder, this product is fabulous and I would recommend you try it.
I highly recommend that you DO NOT use this supplier. I signed on for their free trial of their business site in January 2010. 4 days later I cancelled my trial. They have been sending me invoices ever since. I sent them copies of all of the emails I had from them confirming that I had cancelled in January and they are still chasing me for payment. Now they are trying to say that I am locked into a contract within them until January 2011. I have written to the Observer money column about them and hoping they will follow this up. They are either completely incompetent or deliberately ripping people off – either way – I would avoid.
I used EzWeb123 when a friend of mine suggested that I give it a go. I’m no expert at things like websites so I opted for a free one. I also didn’t have much money at the time when I was setting up my business. Quite literally, free of charge, I had a functioning website within about an hour! It looks professional and you’d never know I did it myself! You can use the build, drag n drop method by overlapping boxes and creating a 2D look. You can add video clips, widgets, feedback forums, pictures…all sorts. And if you’re struggling, they’ll help you with round teh clock customer service. Put simply, it really is the best one I’ve used so far. I’ve tried others such as a free Yahoo one but it wasn’t anywhere near as flexible or easy to use. I’m really impressed with what I’ve got now and there’s no reason why I’d need to change it.
Really easy to use. Very simple instructions. Also they give you ideas on how to make the best use of SEO on their blogsite which helped me as I know nothing about SEO! You don’t get bombarded with junk mail either after signing up with them! Great if you’re looking for a no fuss free web builder and you don’t really know where to start
Review by Unknown, June 2, 2010
RUBBISH SERVICE!!!!!!
Domain transfer to another easyspace account is a milestone and takes far to long… All I wanted to do was simply transfer the name, set up a website homepage for it, easy, I normal do things like this in a hour! It took days just to transfer a name… I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO MESS AROUND!!!
Will not use them ever again even if they make it easier to transfer names!!!
1 & 1 is the worst internet provider that I have used. I would advise that you use a moe better comapny like 123 reg or Go Daddy they provide better customer service then 1 & 1. Since I got a domain name from them I have yet to have a good experience with them.
I totally agree with all the comments that other users have left. If you do encounter a problem with then won’t get a lot of help from them. It is a nightmare to prove that you have been billed for something you haven’t used, and even when you do it is still hard to get out of it.
WebsiteBuilder is awful, I struggle with it every time I come to use the dreadful thing but feel lumbered with it after having now created my website.
I find myself having to use every control twice for it to take effect. Selecting text doesn’t actually show you what the font or font size is. Repeated clicking can sometimes force the font to change but trying to select a specific size of font rather than one from the list has never worked for me.
By far the most frustrating part for me is attempting to imbed an image in the page. Uploading the image generally works but I find I have to select the image from the list a few times once it’s loaded before it actually appears on my web page. Even then it generally screws up the text around the image once it appears. On occasion it will refuse to actually upload the image.
I’m getting tired of continually quitting out of this application and reloading in the hope that I’ll be allowed to do what I actually want. If you don’t want to get stuck using this completely abysmal piece of software then please, I beg you, just don’t even start with it.

Review by Francis, July 7, 2009
Ok for the money
Review by Francis, July 7, 2009
I have tried Webeden a few weeks ago and from all the website builders i have tried so far (and I have tried many!), Webeden has been the best.
It actually uses the same software as Moonfruit, but the support made the difference!
Wedeben is really a must try and it’s free!
Review by Pierre, July 7, 2009
Good Value for money but i was quite disappointed by the support team…
Review by Natasha, July 7, 2009
I Really Love Moonfruit. It’s affordable and really easy to use! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Review by Ray, July 7, 2009
I have had the chance to try it a while ago and i was quite impressed: it’s cheap and easy to use!
Review by Ray, July 7, 2009
Not the easiest one to manage, not the cheapest but this one comes with a set advances features that you may not be able to find on more basic tool like the Daily website builder
Review by Erica, July 7, 2009
I’m very happy so far with my 123 Reg website. It has been very easy to build and set up and the layout looks quite pro.
Review by Julian, July 7, 2009
I did try this one before choosing the Webden’s site. Not that Ewisoft is not good, but Webeden’s system has been easier to sure and the support was better too!
Review by Mike Klennal, July 8, 2009
I honestly never thought that I’d be able to build a website myself. But I’ve done it. And its great! OK, I am no Michaelangelo but all the same. WebEden makes it very easy to build sites.
Review by Sarah McBride, July 14, 2009
Gotta love Moonfruit! I remember them advertising on TV back in 1999 – a bloke playing basket ball I think. I tried building a website with them back then and it was totally amazing! Then I forgot about it for years and just recently came back to them. And hey presto they’re still doing it all. You can get a free package which I like! I am on Max now which is still pretty good value
Review by Tim Jenkins, July 14, 2009
I built a website with Daily ‘Instant Website’. Its not the cheapest here but its pretty easy to use. I’ve got all my domains in their control panel so it seemed like the easiest thing to just add in the Website Builder. You get to choose from lots of templates, which can suit whatever type of site you want. Support was awesome – can’t fault them for that!
Review by Stuart Miller, July 14, 2009
I have been a customer of Fasthosts for donkey’s years. I chose them in the first place because they basically advertise all over the place! Their Sitebuilder is hidden in the basic hosting account so I say that its not that easy to find compared to some other providers here. However once you get into it its pretty easy to use, and the support is good. My site is pretty simple but you get all the tools to make it bigger. Big company too, which gives you some security.
Review by David Samuels, July 14, 2009
I used 1and1 My Busines site and it certainly ain’t cheap! Still its pretty easy to use and my site looks good. I have added lots of bells and whistles – a feedback form, a forum and other stuff, which is cool. I don’t want to go on about it but it isn’t cheap when you look at the price of others here. Still once you’ve got a site with someone they’ve kind of got you! OK overall
Review by Fran Parsons, July 14, 2009
I have been buying domain names at 123-reg for a long time, and I use their email service too. Its really easy if you are a beginner (which I am!!!). I have tried building a site on their system and I think it looks alright. I was pretty easy to use, although its a shame its not free. The only problem is that you usually have to stick to the template you first used which is a bit of a pain. Overall its pretty good though.
Review by Ted Conrad, July 14, 2009
OK don’t get me wrong, I really like Easyspace and their sitebuilder isnt’ bad but its nothing to write home about. Its been around for years, and they don’t exactly make it easy to buy. But there is great support and I think that accounts for a lot these days. I’d recommend them purely on that basis. Not that cheap.
Review by Tooley Parsonage, July 14, 2009
Homestead have been around since about the dawn of time! Its really easy to build a website and the TOTAL upside is that its free, which I like!! Sites are all standard and template based but they still look pretty good. Only downside is support, oh and the fact that they’re based in USA. I’d really prefer to deal with UK company but you can’t have everything
Review by Tony Mont, July 14, 2009
Yeah I’d agree with the guy above but wait for it you only get Homestead for 1 MONTH ONLY and then it costs you $5 per month! That’s ain’t free, and it ain’t cheap either. Good tool though, I like it
Review by Gina Singh, July 14, 2009
UK2 are really cool! They used to have a really rubbish site but now its really great, and the support is awesome too. They don’t do their own website builder, but its called rapidsite I think. Anyway its probably best for more advanced people because you have to get cpanel and then you click to enable the website builder. Once you’ve done that its really easy though and they will help you out with any support stuff
Review by Terry D'arbly, July 31, 2009
I liked using it, but found it quite hard to find. Once you get familiar with the set up, its pretty easy. I’ve used lots of these site builders in the past and they all seem quite similar. So the most important thing is for you to get good support for service.
Review by Gary Hentol, July 31, 2009
I honestly urge anyone to just have a go at building a website witih Moonfruit. Its easy easy easy. I am a complete beginner but I reckon my site looks very good. Its free as well, which means you can get used to using it without it costing you at the same time. If you want to put lots of photos on you’ll need to go for one of the paid packages tho’
Review by Marcus Brown, July 31, 2009
I used 1and1 to build a website with their MyBusiness Site pack and man it is good. Really easy to sign up and then you get access to loads of tools. Its not just a website but you can actually use it to market your site too, with email and stuff like that. Only draw back was the price which hurt me a bit.
Review by Emily Sanderson, July 31, 2009
I built a website with Daily and it was pretty easy. Paid for their Instant Website basic package which was all I really need to get up and running with my site. I haven’t spent much time tinkering with it but its fine for now. It looks like if you upgrade then there is a lot to choose from. I may want to sell stuff through my site soon.
Review by Emma Hodge, July 31, 2009
I built my first website with WebEden a couple of years ago and I just came back and did another one! Its really easy to use, you should just have a go. Its now free which it didn’t used to be. I haven’t tried support yet but you get loads of tutorials and stuff on the site, and also they’re on Twitter so you can get hold of them. Give it a try.
Review by Grace Belamy, July 31, 2009
OK do not expect me to be impartial on this because I totally love Moonfruit. Its like using a free form design program on your desktop. Some of my mates swear by Dreamweaver etc but I reckon you get better results from Moonfruit. OK its not good for databases and all that but you can’t have everything! And that’s all boring stuff anyway.
Review by Charles todd, July 31, 2009
Yeah I’d agree with the other comments. Support is great but the website building tools isn’t brilliant. It sits on your PC whcih is OK – it makes changes very fast, no waiting for your browser to update etc. But the sites are quite simple too, nothing too complex. Oh well I guess I should just learn how to use the proper web hosting!
Review by Mark Telford, July 31, 2009
If you’re happy usign cpanel then you’re going to have no problem building a website with the UK2 systems. you need to sign up to web hosting first and then enable your site builder. Support is pretty good and the sites I’ve built so far don’t look bad.
Review by Mandy Simmons, July 31, 2009
I build quite a few websites, sometimes using html as I am a bit of a techy. What I would say about WebEden is that design wise you won’t find anything better. Its really customised, your limit is your imagination. They have also done some quite cool stuff with Facebook etc. Loads of extra info and support on their website, so that’s a definite plus point
Review by Marin Banff, July 31, 2009
Very good, easy to use. I built a website no problem and now I can use it to update Facebook and Twitter. And it starts out being free which is great! Join the Moonfruit revolution.
Review by Barry Telmere, July 31, 2009
I built a website with Fastshosts and found it all very easy. They have a website building tool inside all their hosting packages, so you can either build a website using the templates, or just upload your own to the webspace. I’ve had no problems at all, and would recommend it.
Review by Cathy Ensim, July 31, 2009
Very easy to use Sitebuilder but man do they go over the top trying to sell it to you. And it costs too, somewhere around $10 a month, £6 which means that its probably only right for business people. Sites look good to give them their due.
Review by Paula Siddle, July 31, 2009
Got one thing to say about Ewisoft and that is OLD SCHOOL! It has honestly all moved on since people built websites with this sort of thing. They have been around a long time so must have thousands and thousands of sites out there. Won’t be long before people find better systems though.
Review by Richard Tong, July 31, 2009
Very easy to use system this one. I’ve only tried a couple of the others and at least with WebEden you can do it for free which is good. You can buy domain names and get email too which means that you get everything in 1 place. I am a big fan
Review by Jamie Hale, August 12, 2009
I am a complete beginner to this website building thing and I have to say that its all been a breeze with webeden. I don’t think my site looks that great but its probably because of my skills rather than the system. just search on google for webeden and you can see lots of sites that have been built with it because its always .webeden.co.uk. most of them are better than mine lols! I put a few of my own images no problem. Next step is to get Twitter on there!
Review by Wayne D, August 12, 2009
They say on their website that its beautiful websites and that is about right! I used one of the tempates called ‘clean I think’, anyway straight out the box it looked better. I added photos no problem, and now I’ve got a forum on there, all very easy. Upgraded to my own domain. Free email (webmail).
Review by Amber Michaels, August 12, 2009
I used the sitebuider but and my site looks fine, I invite everyone to check it out. You can usually get hold of someone on the phone in case you hit a brick wall but no guarantees they will be able to help! I am definitely going to give some of the others a try too as some of them are free.
Review by Nigel Harlow, August 12, 2009
I’ve got a Instant Website with daily, paid for a year upfront. These sorts of things take a bit of practice but once you have the hang of things its honestly really easy to use. My friends can’t tell that it wasn’t built by a web designer so I’m pretty happy with it. You get a free domain name with it too
Review by Bento Business, August 13, 2009
Using Mr Site has allowed me to create my own website with minimum fuss and maximum results. It was really easy and saved me so much money, plus I have complete control over everything. I’ve had interviews with international news channels and newspapers and my website content has even found its way into publication!
Review by Sash Window London, August 13, 2009
After reading about Mr Site I thought it was too good to be true but to my surprise I built a website in two evenings and found myself on page one of a major search engine within weeks for the term “Sash Window London”. My website has created many new customers for my business in such a short time – a truly great find.
Review by Rachel Galley, August 13, 2009
Using Mr Site has enabled me to promote my jewellery to a broad audience in a very professional way. It is easy to use and has lots of options to make the most of the pieces I make!
Review by Gloria Loves Valentine, August 13, 2009
Mr Site is amazing. It’s simple to use and there isn’t much that you can’t do with it. It’s really nice to know that I’m in complete control of how my website is viewed.
Review by Paul Ben, September 30, 2009
I just did a search for building a website and I cam across webeden. No problems so far, and their blog is very good for hints and tips and news and stuff like that. I haven’t had to use the support yet, and since it starts from free I’ve got to give them full marks on price. All in all its very easy to use and am please with the results
Review by Neal Bridge, September 30, 2009
Easy to use system, I’ve got no gripes at all. I’ve had to use their support a few times which was brilliant, but I’m not sure I am making them any moeny. The more you do it the better you get. Its a business website, in this climate I couldn’t afford a proper web designer so this is a good option for now.
Review by Gavin Man, September 30, 2009
Built a free website with Moonfruit and it looks pretty good. The system is very easy to use, and even someone like me can make a good site! I’m just using a template at the moment but I might try something that’s completely off the wall. Got to work out the domain stuff but I can do that with Moonfruit too.
Review by Silvan Dyer, September 30, 2009
Fine, no problems. I used to mess around with the code, none of that for me! Its realy easy, straight forward and looks pretty good to, even if I do say so myself
Review by Verity Sunhiil, September 30, 2009
OK well I thought I would put my two penneth in for what its worth! Homestead is a good product, I’ve been using it for about 5 years with absolutely no problems. The support is good, the sites look OK. I don’t think that its exactly cutting edge any more but once you’ve got your site somewhere its not exactly easy to move it.
Review by Ben Shields, October 2, 2009
Product is OK but having found this site I’ve now looked at what others can offer so I think I might make the switch! As someone else mentioned here though, its not easy to move your site – in fact I don’t think you can, so make your choice wisely! Homestead is OK, not that cheap but its definitely easy to use.
Review by Peter Barn, October 2, 2009
I used the 1&1 mybusiness website maker and truth be told its very very good. But at £10 per month its not cheap either! My website does look professional and you get lots of business tools too, such as the chance to get email addresses and also send visitors to your website. However probably good for business owners and no-one else just because of the price
Review by Dan Brad, October 2, 2009
I am a big big fan of Webeden which is why I want to leave my feedback here! You simply cannot get an easier tool to build a website, I guarantee you. The support is just on email, but they have loads of video tutorials for you to watch if you get stuck. You can also keep up to date with Internety news with their blog. Like I said I am big fan and I got one of my sites on their gallery!
Review by Harry P, October 2, 2009
I bought Mr site in PC World I think. Just put the disk in my PC and it helps you sign up. Its a great system, I wouldn’t have thought that I could build a website but this proves I can!
Review by Andy, October 4, 2009
Heart Internet is the only web host/domain name registrar I have ever come across which forces customers to receive commercial emails from them. They keep bombarding me with unwanted emails flogging things, which I do not want and do not have any unsubscribe option. This is therefore, as per legislation, defined as spam.
Review by Paul Riazanov, October 7, 2009
I am building and managing my website with Site123 building system. I never thought that with a superficial knowledge in web building such as mine, I could ever build a site myself. But now it is reality, thanks to the Site123 tools, unusually easy-to-handle interface, devoted tech support available by email, live chat and phone, and a comprehensive online training centre containing videos and detailed articles. I urge everyone to come and try for themselves.

Review by Jo Davis, October 8, 2009
I just had an awesome bit of support from WebEden so I think I should leave my feedback here.
Never mind that the software is seriously easy to use, if you run into problems then they’re really quick to sort them out, which makes a big difference believe me! They also give you lots of tutorials which are good if you’re not very experienced (again, like me!). Top marks for support though.
Review by Dave G, October 8, 2009
I remember these guys from ages ago, they know what they’re doing! I don’t actually use their website builder but just the hosting, which is very reliable. I recommend them. Good support.
Review by Pasha, October 11, 2009
As a computer technician and a freelance web designer, I get many customers asking me to build them a website that would have an easy-to-use management system.
After discovering Site123.com, my work has became easier – I build websites using simple but powerful tools, then I hand out a ready website to often unknowledgeable customers, which find the interface understandable and simple.
I can recommend this solution to pretty much anyone!
Review by C Rhode, October 15, 2009
Awful! Without parrallel. Truly DIRE
Do not touch them. You may be lucky and not have a problem, but if (or when) you do, you will find them truly impossible to deal with. They bill you for things that they admit they are unable to prove you owe. They lock your account until you pay. When you pay, they cannot find the details. They don’t read emails, and reply to emails with questions that are already answered quite clearly in the email they have replied to.
If you like being tied up in knots and being unable to get to the bottom of the problem, if you have massive amounts of time to invest in endless and pointless correspondence, by all means waste your money, your time, and your life in dealing with these people.
If you have any sense, and few resources that you want to throw away, look elsewhere. The web is full of people describing how impossible this bunch of incompetents are to deal with.
Review by Roger Reed, October 20, 2009
I was with this company for a number of years and what they provided wasn’t bad, until I used their E-Commerce package. The package itself wasn’nt too bad, but the support was poor. The main problem with 1 and 1 was that they charged extra for items that were not part of the package and not used. When approached about it they failed to respond or correct the problem. The site should have cost £9.99 per month but ended up at over £400 for ten months. The charges included an SSL certificate which was not requested nor attached a “Websitebuilder”, which was not needed or used and other items, which for the moment escape me. If you use these people, carefully check what you are paying for.
Review by Anthony Johnson, October 31, 2009
I have used this product for a number of years and it keeps getting better, every time I think I am a guru they add something else! I have tried all the site builders and this is by far the best, it gives you everything. all you need is imagination.
Review by Rebecca Waldron-Smith, November 2, 2009
We have two websites through Reason8 crystalsbyenchantment.com (mine) and psychicmalcolm.com my husbands, and have now been with them for almost 2 years. The basic websites I built in approximately 3-4 days friends of ours have waited months for ‘experts’ to build theirs for them. If someone had told me that I would be able to build my own websites and manage them day to day I would have laughed at them but I did and still do. In that first few weeks I was onto ‘Martin’ (one of he most patient people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with) it seemed like every few hours day and night. I’m sure he never sleeps, usually because I had pressed the wrong button and he just went in at his end and sorted it out. When the sites went ‘live’ it was so simple and we have never looked back. I have watched the system evolve over the years and still to this day I can ring up or email the support team and within minutes they are back with answers or fixing what I have done wrong! I sell one off crystals and the ability to go in immediately and remove (hide) items I have sold is one of the most important things for me. Our businesses have gone from strength to strength and we have absolutely no problems in recommending Reason8 to anyone they promised commitment, service and backup and we have had, and still get it all. A comment I received from one of my customers on 2nd January I really love your site and could buy one of everything. Says it all I think.
Review by Louise Langdon, November 3, 2009
I have tried on several occasions to build a website but without much luck. I was recommended Reason8 by a friend who already has a successful website with them. They were so helpful and I was able to get my site up and running very quickly. Their designers created a template for me how I wanted it. I am now in the top 5 for my keywords worldwide, so the work they do getting your site found really works. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs a website for their business. The biggest difference I found was to be able to work with really people who didn’t talk to me in jargon.

I actually built a website with Sythasite when it was first launched. It was pretty good then and it keeps getting better, so I’m very pleased. They changed their name to Yola but its the same system. If you go pro which I now have you can buy a domain name and build loads more sites, up to 20 ish I think. Give it a go.

Sitebuilder may be fine, but Fasthosts is anything but…Customer service is completely and utterly non existent, however customer service is essential as Fasthosts seem to attract more than the average in terms of system problems. Any support mail that achieves a response is answered by patronising idiots who simply don’t know what they are doing. Whatever happens, the issues are NEVER addressed. There is no complaints procedure, there is no way of contacting any Fasthosts management who reside in ivory towers, and obviously couldn’t give a hoot what their customers think of them. Before choosing Fasthosts, you would be better off wandering down to your local primary school, where you should ask the children if any of them would provide you with a similar service, you’d honestly get a better response from them, and service too. Do yourself a favour, and KEEP WELL AWAY FROM FASTHOSTS!

I have been with Fasthosts for 3 years and their web hosting has worked well. However, their e-mail is pretty poor and seems to go down often. I also had major problems with their recommended card payments service and no-one at Fasthosts knew how it worked. This service is also VERY expensive.

This is my first web building experience and I’m obsessed! In just one week I’ve uploaded photos, added links and haven’t even read any instructions! That’s how user-friendly it is. If you lack the confidence to dive in there’s a comprehensive step-by-step beginner’s guide and a list of every FAQ. I love it and have recommended it to 3 others. Don’t delay try it today! You’ll be delighted with your professional-looking website that has cost you nothing at all!

I can say in all honesty that building a website hosted by Reason8 is the best career move I have ever made!!I am painter and started building my website with Reason8 nearly 3 years ago, as a way of displaying my artwork and running a business from home. I am a mother of three small children and running an on-line business suits me perfectly. In the three years I have had the website I have undertaken commissions and sold paintings to people on all continents. My paintings are organised in series based around themes or subjects. To give just some examples of successes: My MOTHERHOOD SERIES was found by a university lecturer in Brisbane, Australia, who put my paintings on the syllabus for her students and uses my artwork as a backdrop for university conferences. She recently published a book and used a painting from the Motherhood page for the book cover.ᅠ http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28011 My LANGUAGE SERIES was found by someone who organises Language Festivals. In the year 2007 most paintings from the LANGUAGE page appeared on posters, in newspapers and were made into a small book. http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28620ᅠand http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=53820 The SHAMANISM SERIES has been visited by people from all over the UK and indeed all over the world. My website was visited by a prominent UK author who is now using my artwork in his books and has recommended my work to his colleagues and publisher. http://www.imelda-almqvist-art.com/info2.cfm?info_id=28627ᅠ Just this week I was contacted by a French professor in Mathematics to discuss the possibility of producing a series of paintings about concepts in higher mathematics and quantum physics&The list goes on and on! Since building the website I have sold artwork to people in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the USA, most European countries to mention but a few. I have gone from painting in my studio at home and selling work locally to running an international business on-line. Do I need to say more?!Visitors to my website give the feedback that it is easy to navigate and that the artwork looks stunning. People have told me that they have visited my website for inspiration regarding their own website. The Reason8 software is easy to use and videos offering tutorials in various aspects of website building are available any time. On the few occasions I have got stuck, I have contacted customer support and they have always responded quickly and helpfully. To sum it up: the service Reason8 provides has allowed me the website of my dreams and this website has brought me opportunities beyond my wildest dreams!

I have had my main site since February and it’s been great. I have called customer support in that time (my own inadequacy) and they were brilliant. They provide endless help via the forum/monthly newsletters/video tutorials, not just on page building but on rankings and search engines too. For a few pounds a month you can have five seperate sites which is more than my imagination stretches to. They even have their own directory so you can glean ideas from others. What more can you ask?
The paypal sales cart uneases me, but that’s a tiny grump.
Review by Graham Cotterill, December 31, 2009
Have been using Webeden for over 2 years, I am very pleased with the results. Both the sites I have online are well received and rated highly by client.
The Sitemaker Software is easy to use even for a novice, though any one, including experienced webmasters could find this software a boon and another weapon in their armoury.
The latest update to the design features, the Editor and the redesigned Edit Facility. Extra Tools have given users a first class entry level into web design.
Review by Coventry Restaurants, January 11, 2010
I have been designing website with webeden for a very long time, its by far the best and I have tested a lot.
Well Done guys, keep up the high standards and good work.
Review by Allan, February 3, 2010
Support staff are useless: rude, slow, wrong.
Too many outages, frequent server errors, making it almost impossible to do anything of any consequence. Site builder is painfully slow and continually fails. Dont try to FTP anything large.
Avoid atall costs. Dont see how they can stay in business for much longer,
Review by Chloe I'Anson, March 5, 2010
This is the first time I have ever tried to build a website. I chose WebEden and could not be happier.Every time I phone the staff could not be more helpful no matter what the query has been and have gone above and beyond the level of service that I have expected. My site is now up and running and everyone who has seen it has said how great it looks. It is easy to update and is starting to attract interest from customers. A huge thank you for all the support that I have had from everyone at WebEden. Brilliant.
Review by Geoff, March 10, 2010
I built my website from Mr Site over a period of several days. I do of course keep adding fresh content, and I find it easy enough to do that. As mine is an information-type site I don`t have need for a shopping cart, checkout etc, so I haven`t any first hand knowledge of any particular problems in that area.
Review by Toko, March 21, 2010
I have found using Ewisoft to build my Website was very easy because of the easy to follow instructions. I’m not online yet but soon will be once I get my registration paid up.
Thanks to the team at Ewisoft for making my website possible.
Go hard bro’s you’re number one!!

I have been using Site123 CMS for more then 2 years, Never met
a Company so pleased to serve, Chat, Mail or Phone.
I have had some experience with static sites before, but, as for now, life has never been easier.
Easy SEO Tools, Dynamic Design capabilities and Easy content
management, 2 thumbs Up for Site123.

Review by Easyproblinds, April 26, 2010
I have recently become a moonfruit expert (yes, it didn’t take long) where I set up http://www.Easyproblinds.com selling roman blind kits and how to make roman blinds tutorials. I receive orders almost everyday now as it becomes more and more popular. I get email forwarding, and traffic stats, plus it links to google analytics. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Review by Tony Groom, May 4, 2010
I found Reason 8 by accident. I was trawling through the websites looking for something I could do myself at a reasonable cost. I am a diver by trade and had absolutely no idea how to start a website. When I looked into it and read a bit about HTML, it just left me cold. Reason 8 said I needed none of that. Their site said I could just click to add pictures, video, paste from word documents, sell goods etc.? This was more like it, so I thought, I’d give it a go. They let me run a free site for a few weeks to see how it would look. I was impressed and I hadn’t spent a penny. I bought a web address, transferred it over to them and there it was, looking fantastic. If you have a problem, you can phone them, and get this, you can always speak to a real person. A person who knows how to help you. The amount of books I sell every month easily pays for the site. I’ve had orders from the USA, Australia, Fiji, Malaysia, and? Skegness, to name just a few. Set up a free account, see how it looks, then make your mind up. It’s soooo easy, and I love it.
Review by David Winterbourne, May 6, 2010
I am currently building a moonfruit website and I wanted to let you know that I am loving it! Its so easy, I reckon even my 8 year old son could do it. At the moment I am just using the free one but then that’s all I need. I honestly would recommend anyone to try it out.
Review by Ann E Taylor, May 6, 2010
I have always sold online using other peoples platforms ebay and amazon but wanted my own shop I worked out that on average I was paying £50 a month to list and sell items on these platforms so I decided that I would use this as my budget. I’m reasonably literate when it comes to computer systems but I knew that I wanted a professional easy to update website.
I trialled 4 different sites and found that the site which offered me the greatest flexibility was Site Builder DIY. I was impressed by the no tie in trial which I didn’t even need to submit card details for. I was impressed that when I called for help someone answered the phone and I was impressed by how easy it was to set up an e-commerce website that looked professional and seemed instant as I already had a paypal account I’m using a paypal check out. The site has a range of templates and suggests content which makes it feel like a step by step process. I themed my site around the colours used in my brand name it took me 16 days to set the site up using an existing template the Eshop has a stock system and its really easy to upload and resize images.
I had a little bit of help setting up an email and redirecting the domain but it’s value for money. I’m paying around £35 a month and for that I get a fully operating site that I update and use to sell my products which are mainly gardening items.
I can spend my time selling and SiteBuilderDIY looks after everything else.
Review by Artisan Ceramics, May 7, 2010
SiteBuilder is a fantastic product. I tried lots of web building software but nothing compared to the functionality that SiteBuilder provides.
As a totally non technical person, I really enjoyed the whole process. I did need to check with SiteBuilder on how to do some of the more advanced features, and I found them unbelievably supportive. They responded instantly and didn’t baffle me with language that I couldn’t understand.
The results are very professional and surpass any expectations I had.
I think this is a great product and it saved us lots of money, which as a small start-up business is always important.
SiteBuilder gives you 30 days to play before you pay, which shows how confident they are about their product.
Well done to SiteBuilder, this product is fabulous and I would recommend you try it.
Review by Jackie, May 18, 2010
I highly recommend that you DO NOT use this supplier. I signed on for their free trial of their business site in January 2010. 4 days later I cancelled my trial. They have been sending me invoices ever since. I sent them copies of all of the emails I had from them confirming that I had cancelled in January and they are still chasing me for payment. Now they are trying to say that I am locked into a contract within them until January 2011. I have written to the Observer money column about them and hoping they will follow this up. They are either completely incompetent or deliberately ripping people off – either way – I would avoid.
Review by Carl Gorringe, May 28, 2010
I used EzWeb123 when a friend of mine suggested that I give it a go. I’m no expert at things like websites so I opted for a free one. I also didn’t have much money at the time when I was setting up my business. Quite literally, free of charge, I had a functioning website within about an hour! It looks professional and you’d never know I did it myself! You can use the build, drag n drop method by overlapping boxes and creating a 2D look. You can add video clips, widgets, feedback forums, pictures…all sorts. And if you’re struggling, they’ll help you with round teh clock customer service. Put simply, it really is the best one I’ve used so far. I’ve tried others such as a free Yahoo one but it wasn’t anywhere near as flexible or easy to use. I’m really impressed with what I’ve got now and there’s no reason why I’d need to change it.
Review by Clive, May 28, 2010
Really easy to use. Very simple instructions. Also they give you ideas on how to make the best use of SEO on their blogsite which helped me as I know nothing about SEO! You don’t get bombarded with junk mail either after signing up with them! Great if you’re looking for a no fuss free web builder and you don’t really know where to start
Review by Unknown, June 2, 2010
RUBBISH SERVICE!!!!!!
Domain transfer to another easyspace account is a milestone and takes far to long… All I wanted to do was simply transfer the name, set up a website homepage for it, easy, I normal do things like this in a hour! It took days just to transfer a name… I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO MESS AROUND!!!
Will not use them ever again even if they make it easier to transfer names!!!
Review by George, June 25, 2010
1 & 1 is the worst internet provider that I have used. I would advise that you use a moe better comapny like 123 reg or Go Daddy they provide better customer service then 1 & 1. Since I got a domain name from them I have yet to have a good experience with them.
Review by John, June 25, 2010
I totally agree with all the comments that other users have left. If you do encounter a problem with then won’t get a lot of help from them. It is a nightmare to prove that you have been billed for something you haven’t used, and even when you do it is still hard to get out of it.
Review by David Johnston, July 28, 2010
WebsiteBuilder is awful, I struggle with it every time I come to use the dreadful thing but feel lumbered with it after having now created my website.
I find myself having to use every control twice for it to take effect. Selecting text doesn’t actually show you what the font or font size is. Repeated clicking can sometimes force the font to change but trying to select a specific size of font rather than one from the list has never worked for me.
By far the most frustrating part for me is attempting to imbed an image in the page. Uploading the image generally works but I find I have to select the image from the list a few times once it’s loaded before it actually appears on my web page. Even then it generally screws up the text around the image once it appears. On occasion it will refuse to actually upload the image.
I’m getting tired of continually quitting out of this application and reloading in the hope that I’ll be allowed to do what I actually want. If you don’t want to get stuck using this completely abysmal piece of software then please, I beg you, just don’t even start with it.
