Site123 Has Been a Dream Come True for Me

I enjoy the site and admire how easy it is to make a professional-looking site with the tools offered on the website. I am proud of the way my site looks and how attractive it is to my visitors.

PROS

The ease of getting started was attractive to me. I had a website I was proud of within less than a week of learning the website. Since then, I have been able to embellish and make adjustments to my presentations of my ebooks, stories, and other writings. I had always dreamed about giving my stories a stage to shine and Site123 has allowed me to make this dream come true. People rave about the attractiveness and easy to use writing site I have made using the variety of tools available on this site. My many writings are special to me, like my own children in some ways. I am able to dress these stories up so they look good to others who come and visit my site.

CONS

I have only one concern: Bandwidth. I have been adding many items to my stories and this apparently has caused me to almost approach my monthly limit of bandwidth. This is a concern and one that could cause me to shop elsewhere. I have asked for help on this subject, but have yet to receive much satisfaction. I guess I will simply have to avoid doing too much additions to my site each month until I can find some other remedy.

Reason for choosing SITE123

seemed simple to use without all the fuss of wordpress.

Reasons for switching to SITE123

more options available and the professional look Site 123 offers over the ipage. Plus, the price is better and the ease of use superior.

Garbage e-commerce web builder

Shocking. I never get support when I have a problem. I have had issues with PayPal connectivity and today no one can pay using their credit cards. It makes my business look unprofessional. I have lost customers

PROS

Nothing. It Is too time consuming and has huge problems.

CONS

Too time consuming. You contact someone when you have an issue, it gets escalated then you never hear anything again. I hate it. As soon as I can I’m opting out. Even that is a nightmare because I have thousands of products and can’t easily transfer them. I will have to create another website from scratch.

Reason for choosing SITE123

It looked good. I was fooled, it isn’t.

Very Pleased Customer

Just amazing. Never felt like I can't do anything with editing this website and if i do they are there to help.

PROS

What I loved most is the level of simplicity in editing any aspect of the site and the speed of implementation of those edits. and the customer support is like no other i have experienced. Very fast response and guide you to resolve the issue. Never had a problem with them, they are all amazing!

CONS

Nothing bad really, but It'd be nice to have more gradient colors for the background to make it less boxed and sharp. Probably integrate having images behind the entire website as a background If possible.

Reason for choosing SITE123

Because it seemed much easier to edit and much less expansive.

Good easy to learn and use Web development tool

I wanted to provide a way of assisting small businesses to get an affordable web presence when they believed it would be too expensive. The once I had created the initial site, show them how to take it on and proceed with very little input from me. Site123 is an ideal product to do this with and has proved very useful. The online training videos and documents are easy to understand and the online chat support is brilliant.

PROS

It is easy to get to grips with and a very affordable way to get small businesses or startup to get a website on Ecommerce store

CONS

It is slightly restrictive with its templates and some look a bit basic

Reason for choosing SITE123

it is much easier for beginners to learn for beginners.

Happy, user.

Very user friendly, Easy access for editing. Easy setup, great design options.

PROS

Ease of access. Easy to set up/edit. Very user friendly even for an IT challenged like myself. :)

CONS

Nothing as yet. satisfied customer. Had a few issues with people not accessing banking details for EFT, as i dont have a gateway platform as yet. but have now edited bank details into order email.

Reason for choosing SITE123

It was affordable. Your team were super helpful online. All my concerns were answered prior to signing of contract. Your site had everything I needed to design my own webpage, super easy.

Reasons for switching to SITE123

not very user friendly for someone not in the IT background business. Editing was a mission. Not sufficient modern versions of design setup. just not user friendly.

Overall I am very happy with Site123 and would recommend anyone to use them.

PROS

I was so pleased to see how easy it was to create my site with site123. Editing was simple and publishing a breeze. The help section is amazingly good.

CONS

I found transferring my domain from my old hosts to Site123 a pain to be honest and having to pay upfront for the hosting package was a pain. A monthly payment would be a better option.

Reason for choosing SITE123

I chose Site123 because I was very satisfied with my free trial.

Reasons for switching to SITE123

Ionos didn’t offer what I wanted and I found their customer service inadequate. They were expensive to not achieve what I wanted and too complicated to use.

Being a church that likes to put the service on the website 100mb just is not enough and compression detreats from the video.Could do with more templates for religious organizations and not just shopping.

A solid web solution for most businesses

First contact with the builder is very positive. Anyone can get going and set up a decent fully working homepage. System offers almost everything straight "out of the box" a business needs to compete in any market. The simple but limited "building blocks" makes it easy to add information. Some settings can be a bit fiddly to use, as it's not really WYSIIWYG, but more of a back end setting. Once mastered though, any implementation of information is easy archived. Compared to f.i. WordPress, Site123 is much more intuitive and simple to set up and update. There are more competitive online web builders on the market today that offers better design features and even some that are more easy to use. But the selling point of Site123 is the coverage of built in solutions that only very few other builders are able to match. For small to medium sized businesses in the BtB market, I would recommend Site123 anytime. In the BtC market Site123 may fall short of being flexible enough to compete visually.

PROS

Site123 is an intuitive web builder with lots of high end solutions built in. It's a solid solution for most businesses, probably best aimed at inhouse users with no or limited design skills. The system offers everything from mail sign up, site search, multiple languages and even email marketing to name a few competitive" must have tools", and that straight out of the box. Support is one of the absolutely best in business, with 24/7 support

CONS

The system can be a bit visually limited, which can be particularly frustrating for designers designing for customers. Layout system lacks the flexibility that can differentiate a webpage from other sites in a competitive market. This on the other hand is also the strength of the builder, as none-designers safely can design something that is working just fine for their customers, just lacking that special touch.

Reason for choosing SITE123

Simple to use, even for none designers. Built in features are the USP that any small to medium sized BtB business could make good marketing use of.

I visited the website to play around but I ended up liking it so much

It's really depending on what you want, we as a team go the best experience we could get. There is support so they are always there to give you tips or you can tell them what you want to do and they will guide you to do it. Some of them even step by step, like really step by step. If you try the platform and you don't know what you want to do, then do not do it at all. Be sure for what you want and most of all, be sure that what you want to do in doable in general. There were things I wanted to do but they are not really possible to be done.

PROS

Let's start with the fact that I was previously using a code only platform and I really wanted to make a professional website for my team and get it live to attract new visitors. It's basically what I was looking for in a website builder. I have tried multiple online but SITE123 gave me the freedom to take my team on the web and get it live with our domain name. It's a very easy to use platform and they offer many applications to use and index your website to Google and other search engines which what I really needed. Because of this website we were able to increase awareness as I have seen the difference with the hosting I had, the servers response time is 5x times faster than the Shared Hosting plan I had with another website. Very powerful platform I would say, and it really got my message out.

CONS

I would appreciate if they had sidebars like WordPress themes but for now I was able to make what I wanted. I might not be able to add my own HTML to the platform for some specific apps I wanted but I was able to find something at least similar to their app market, it did the job (not the one I wanted) but if you try to find there is always a way to get things done even when you are limited to the option they offer. I was expecting to use more the custom Iframe but it turned out the Application integration were more useful than any other features offered.

Got it Done with Ease Looks Great

Site123 delivered for me! I was about to give up the search, having tried the others. This is the easiest site builder to understand by far, and it automatically built in functions that made me look great that I didn’t even know were there! You don’t need the WordPress learning curve, you just follow the prompts. Two functions set “Site123" apart and above the others. When they say your basic site is free they mean it! Of course they need you to upgrade to stay in business, and you should, but if you’re building a site to show off a friend’s hobby as I was, your “basic" site is there until you upgrade. You don’t come back in 24 hours and find your “free” site blocked till you pay up. The best part is your support group feels like your team! They are there 24/7 and they stick with you till what you need help with has been achieved. My advice? If you’re building a site look no further, this one does what you came to get done and makes you proud.

PROS

Fast and easy to use with an excellent looking result and the best support out there.

CONS

The ten featured images could not be selected. Whatever you upload last boots what's already there. I really need to control the first images visitors see or they won't stay for the rest.

Reason for choosing SITE123

All the others seem like bait and switch. They are only free long enough to waste precious time. I work with Bluehost and they are great but you must know WordPress which is a hefty learning curve.

Reasons for switching to SITE123

They ended up not being free after you put in all the work. (Bluehost excepted but you need to know WordPress - and I don't think they're free.)

Good Experiences with Site123

The site is just going live, so benefits are yet to be seen. We do expect sales to increase with the ease of using the site as a buyer.

PROS

There had been opportunities to work with several different websites, each touting how easy their site was to build a great looking website. Site123 was the most clear to me. With the added bonus of the help provided. Every time I had a question, easy or hard, they were able to clearly explain to me what needed to be done. Thus, the website does indeed look great.

CONS

At times I was getting information that was "over-my-head" and I would have to ask the help persons to further explain something to me. Some of the reference pictures were small and it was hard for me to tell what I was looking at.

Reason for choosing SITE123
