Anyone used Mr Site website building software?

Hello there!

Has anyone ever used the Mr Site website building software? I have seen it in Borders for £35 & it looked like a good buy. It seems simple enough to use with the attraction that you can sell items using a paypal shopping cart. The sort of sites that they display on their homepage as being built with the software all look good enough for me - anyone have any thoughts or experience with it?

Thanks in advance,

    Hi

    I used Mr Site to create my website www.bumpstobabies.org - if you buy it from Amazon or eBay it costs around £16 & I really like it. Once you've started work on your site, there's a useful foru at www.aboutmrsite.com.

    Let me know if you have any more questions & I'll do my best to help.

    Emma,
    I have a couple of questions about the site builders ? Did it do all the site for you ? I notice that you have a couple of php scripts, does it produce them also ?

    Cheers

    Hi

    I mostly used the standard Mr Site stuff although I tweaked some of the site using the HTML editor built into Mr Site. I'm not sure what a PHP script is so I guess they must be built in!

    I've used MrSite for 2 websites I own and am about to build a third. It's so easy to build and you can add pictures, take secure payments, manage a mailing list and all sorts from it.

    I would check ebay first as I bought my latest one for £6 from there.

  • I also have two websites for my business with Mr Site and I found it really easy to use and lots of people have commented on how good my website is.
  • I've currently using Mr Site at the minute - it is really good for the simple website which i'm currently making :)

  • i am very tempted to buy mr site.....

    when you buy the software.... can you do more than one website with it.. or have you got to buy a new software/package for every website...?

    sorry if this sounds silly..... but as there is a code or something.. didnt know if this only warrents one website...



    also... dont forget to go through a cashback site.... to get some extra discount....:D
