Can anyone confirm about the logo? Their link on Google says "no ads, no catches".

20MB is ample for us, as we only want a once page site of text to advertise some basic services.

Has anyone built a Moonfruit site and if so could they post the link so I can see how it looks?

Hi there i have been using moonfruit site builder for quite a while. Forget the free site..it is too limited in what you can do...for a monthly subscription of just £5.99 you can have up to 5 sites (or the equivalent memory storage etc for just one site) They host your site but you get a free voucher for a domain name of your own choice (providing it is available) for one year.You would be able to use your own current domain name.There are no ads with a subscription but there is with a free site. I currently have two sites CD-music-shack.co.uk and holidaylanzarote.net .Cant post link due to forum rules so just cut and paste to see my sites for yourself.

My sites cost virtually nothing to run as I pay £71.88 per annum, get a free domain name, (usually £10.00 for one year minimum) and I get about £75 -£ 100 per annum from google ads on my sites.

You can build your site very easily and with a bit of practice it gets easier and easier to have a good looking site.

Cheers and good luck :cool:

Just to correct something I wrote earlier, I tried again with the 123-reg site building and they have improved it since last time I used it, adding lots more templates and options. So, using the free version I was able to create a one-page website which I am happy with. No doubt there are far better tools about, but I just wanted to say that 123-reg is now more usable than it was.
