Site Build It Review - Complaints and Success

Not everyone has such high regards for Site Build It but since I have created two SBI websites, I want to give you the good and the complaints about SBI.

Here is a quick comparison of Site Build It vs Xsite Pro vs Bluevoda.

What is Site Build It?

It is an all-in-one website building program. Even though this is only one of the many products of SiteSell, it has everything you need to help you build your own site. Check out the sitebuildit features.

 

Complaints

No HTML Editor Built In

The step by step module for building your pages does not have a tab you can click between HTML and WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

Sure you can add HTML into the pages while you are building but if you don't know how to hand code then trying to learn while you are creating your web pages can be very frustrating, time consuming and cumbersome.

If you want to use a HTML editor (Dreamweaver, Nvu or Frontpage), Site Build It does give you the step by step review on how to upload pages to your site but I found this very time consuming as I created my pages in Nvu (free site building software) then had to upload to my SBI site.

If any changes were needed on those pages uploaded, you need to change it first in the program you used to create it and then re-upload it.

Cost of Building

Per site: the yearly price of SBI is $299.00 or you can pay $29.00 a month (limited time offer).

Many people would like to have more than one site, so it can get real expensive.

NOTE: Many times through the year they do offer a special. Even though this is great, remember if you buy Site Build It during their promotional offer, when your year is up you will have to pay full price for both websites.

It would be nice if they would offer a discount if you purchase for more than a year or that the first site is full price but additional ones were discounted.

Must Work Online

Since I was using Xsitepro to help me build my other websites (like this one), I got used to working on my website offline.

For many people this may not be a big deal and I have gotten used to having to login to sitebuildit online to build my web pages.

Can't Take It With You

If you decide after a year or two that you want to move your website to either another hosting company, you can not "take it" with you. The website building software used to create your web pages is not compatible with any other hosting provider.

Site Build It Success

SBI doesn't just teach you how to create a website but shows you how to build a business.

Action Guide

The action guide starts you through the building process as it walks you through all the steps in how to build a website.

Once you have built your site, the action guide continues to help you with link building, marketing, looking for affiliate programs, and much more.

Brainstorm It

The sitebuildit brainstorm tool gives you the marketing and keyword information from your selected niche topic idea.

It gives you an idea if it could be profitable, how many competing pages for that keyword and much more.

Search It

The  Search It tool is free for any webmaster to use while building their own site. It helps brainstorm new topics for your site, deepen research on your competition, research material for your content pages, find original new inbound link opportunities and identify new ways to monetize your site.

Web Hosting Included

Comparing companies can be very frustrating. It takes time to review so many different hosting plans, so you save time by not having to search all over the Internet for the cheapest one.

Domain Included

• You pick the name
• Registered to you
• You can transfer the name anywhere you want (but you will lose all the tools)

Members Only Forum

This is a great place to go when you need any help. While you are learning how to build a website, you may come across a dilema and not sure what to do. From Ken Evoy to all the people in the forums will take the time to help you solve your problem.

Here are real examples of Site Build It web sites on the Internet.

Not sure if this is for you? You can ask (e-mail or telephone) any questions about this software from real people that use it. SBI! questions.

Site Build It Review - Final Thoughts

Yes, you can find many website building software programs to help you make your own site but they don't have all the tools built-in to the program.

I won't say this is the best site building sofware as many people have used this web building software and did not like it. Try it for yourself: test drive Site Build It free for 30 days.
