easy and really fast 1 Oct 2009

By K. Meadows

I wanted to create a site for the village club and residents, and bought this because I don't have a lot of computer experience. The thing that made it simple was the templates - by choosing one of these it really makes life easy by leading you through the whole design process. You can start with a blank template if you prefer, but we didn't feel the need to make life more complicated, and the site we created looks fab - we can link to other peoples photo albums on Picasa and Facebook to show village events too, which is a really nice feature, to avoid us having to upload them all again.

Great for the simplest site - but a steep learning curve if you need to deviate from the templates. 20 Oct 2009

By K. L. Wren HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I've used several web design packages and normally master them fairly quickly and seldom, if ever, even need to refer to user manuals. Web Easy sounded promising so I thought I'd give this one a try. A domain name is included along with 3 months of hosting - after which you can pay for further hosting or relocate your site elsewhere. An FTP facility is also included so the site can be uploaded to any host. It all sounds good so far...

I can see from the actual program files that Web Easy offers a superb range of quality templates, clip art, animations, photos, audio files - everything you could possibly need and it also offers CSS and DHTML for special effects to add a creative touch. On using it for the first time, it was a doddle to select a themed template, type in my own information, change the copyright clause and drag and drop my own photos onto the template and, had I stuck rigidly to the equally rigid templates, I could have had a polished website up and running within an hour.

Alas the template I selected included five pages - but my site required eight along with the flexibility to deviate from the precise layout of the template. Normally web-design packages have a 'tree' type diagram onto which new pages can be added and automatically the theme and 'fixed text' such as the title, company name and copyright clause would be included, then the structure can be changed by dragging and dropping files around the site. However, search as I might, this doesn't seem to be possible with Web Easy whereby your site must follow the confines of the templates which also largely determine what information is included within the site, precisely where it is included on each individual webpage and the text almost has to fit into a pre-sized box. It would be pure coincidence if this matched your needs and, in my case, it didn't.

At least there is an option to build a site from scratch without using templates but this is fraught - the package becomes anything but user-friendly or intuitive and although there are a vast array of features available somewhere within, finding and using them is another matter. A novice would soon be floundering and after several years of designing sites myself, I found the process just too frustrating and am reverting back to the flexible, user-friendly and intuitive MS FrontPage.

If you are a novice seeking to produce a simple but attractive website, quickly and easily using a pre-defined template adding just your own text and photos etc then this will produce quality results for you quickly and you can see exactly what you're producing as you go. However, if you need something a little different to that already pre-prepared and need to alter the template or start from scratch with a site designed to your own format, then you may be better looking elsewhere, perhaps Magix Xtreme Web Designer 5 (PC CD). I am very disappointed - something I rarely say about software I've bought.

Steer Clear 16 Aug 2010

By louisefrank

I have had similar problems to other reviewers who gave this product one-star (it deserves no stars at all). It is not only that the software doesn't work but that the Avanquest after-sales service is absolutely appalling. They treat their customers with contempt hoping, I guess, that if they ignore enough people for long enough, a big proportion of them will go away. I have made a mental note of the brand Avanquest and will never, ever buy anything from them again.
