Anyone else use Site Build It to make their website? How is it going?

I want some opinions on Site Build It from someone outside of their forums. I have a site up and running now for two months using them, and I like it, but I am second guessing myself. Anyone else using it? How is it going?

I don’t use Site Build but from looking at your HTML code I wouldn’t recommend it. In my opinion it is always a bad idea to use third party software to create code. You need to understand all the quirks of the software you are using as well as have an understanding of the base languages to get things working properly.

I would recommend learning HTML and CSS, the web programing languages. Keep your present site and gradually learn to re write it using the correct languages. (It’s akin to teaching kids at school how to use a graphing calculator instead of teaching them the fundamental mathematics.)

This isn’t as much work as you may think. Getting the site to look gee whiz may take a little longer (although in my opinion the site looks pretty bad at present, especially the blurred looking menu at the left).
