Website Building Software - Top Website Builders Reviewed

[Morris Keith]

If you still think you need to pay some wizard programmer a couple
grand to build you a professional looking website - I've got something
else you might want to consider before signing that check. During this
past decade technology took a giant leap in this area. You could build
cleaner websites during your lunch break - than the overpriced web
designers take a month to do.
Building your own website doesn't have to be a hassle
Some people may have you believe that in order to make a website you
need to be a geek with ultra high IQ, have some expensive software and
spend years learning some alien looking codes. Trust me, there are
other options.
Here are a few top website builders to consider:
? Site Rubix Website Creator ? Xsite Pro Webdesigner Software ?
Bluevoda Website Builder
A brief overview of some of the key features of each one:
Bluevoda Website Builder - If you're on a tight budget, this builder
is definitely for you. It's free, so if you need something to hold you
over before you're ready to invest some money into something better,
this one is the way to go. It comes with an array of pre-designed
templates and very easy to use. Drag and drop function is nice, no
knowledge of any code required.
The downside is that you're tied up to their host and eventually could
be a problem if you're trying to run a website which requires higher
bandwidth. Hosts like that tend to run slow because of their
popularity - there are currently about 3 million people who use
Bluevoda.
Another big con is the fact that it can only run on Windows based
platforms. So if you're on a Mac you're out of luck.
Xsite Pro Webdesigner Software - Regarded as one of the top builders
out there for the price. This builder will set you back about $200.
One of the biggest advantages of Xsite pro is that it's the first
builder built with Internet marketer's needs in mind.
? The most regarded feature is instant SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) checker. It automatically analyzes your website and
suggests the best possible way for you to get listed in the search
engines painlessly. This feature is what makes it unique.
? It also comes with hundreds of templates to choose from
? Automatic sitemap creation feature built-in. Another handy feature
for Internet marketers
? Affiliate link wizard. A marketer's dream. You can store all your
affiliate links and just pop them in into any page at a click of a
button
? Full tech support 24 hours 7 days a week, plus a user forum is nice
Again the downside is it's only compatible with Windows systems and
for the same price you could get a professional edition of Adobe
Dreamweaver if you're planning on learning more advanced techniques in
the future.
Site Rubix Website Creator - This builder is by far the most versatile
and user friendly I've ever come across. Some of its key benefits:
? Extremely user-friendly and intuitive interface. It's also known as
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). No HTML code knowledge on your
part is required. You just drag and drop every component of your
website into place.
? Multitude of pre-built templates to chose from
? Dynamic drag enabled menus
? Built in FTP program (most other ones don't have this)
? Instant screenshot tool
? Template and banner swapping
? Media Management Support (Video, Images, Screenshots)
? Flexible Operating System Support
Overall I'd say Site Rubix is the best of both worlds. You can run it
on either Mac or Windows based systems. And it has every feature that
all the other programs offer. What makes it stand out is the fact that
it's tied into it's own forum where not only you can learn how to
build websites - you could also become a top level Internet marketing
professional with the 1-on-1 coaching program that's offered.
