Site builder comparison

But you want to build a business, not just-another-unvisited Web site. So... you end up having to upgrade to their "Professional Package". Yet you still have to buy more and more expensive third-party software. Ultimately, you pay many times over the price of SBI!. And it takes so long to learn all those different tools. High prices. High time. High complexity. No step-by-step process. No integration of information, process, and tools. Going this route make it easy to fail.

See those three long columns of

on the left, and the one long column of

on the right? That spells the difference between your failure and your success. As you see, there really is no comparison. That's why I use the product site-build-it It delivers all of the above and quite a bit more which I have found to be stuff I have not got round to using yet.
