 THE DISAPPEARING FILES May 8, 2008
i was not very happy with this site,my files and photos kept appearing and then disappearing for no reason at all.i was not given a reason for this,
needless to say it was my fault.
i did not even manage to finish my site because of this problem which kept occuring.i have asked for my money back,we,ll see if that is forthcoming.
yours
graham.

This has to be the most infuriating software I've ever used. I have to warn you that this program is filled with bugs, if you want to do anything other than simple blogging or like me, are indecisive and will want to change the background regularily, be warned! Sometimes fonts dont work, currently some of my text refuses to change size for no reason at all and if you EVER edit ANY of the text on a gallery page that is not part of the gallery, say the introduction explaining what the gallery is of, then it forgets all your pictures have titles and they disappear. You have the option of showing pictures in three types of ways, one is plain ugly and of the other two one won't allow any text to be under your images. There also isn't a spellcheck, which seems like an obvious thing to have to me?
These I promise are just a few of the most annoying problems with what is a really good idea. I have emailed their own program bug catcher but have recieved nothing but the crudest of responses... "have you tried changing the size of the font?".. Of course I have. I have built websites before from scratch in much more complex programs than this, these aren't my stupid mistakes and I'm not alone in finding them.
Arghhhh!
 Cheap - but limited April 21, 2008

If you're looking for something that doesn't cost the earth but delivers a decent looking website then this is the package for you. I've only rated it 3 stars as functionality is limited.
Firstly, you have to have a menu down the side of your page, this shows on every page you have on your site. I wanted a different menu on one page but you can't do this - also you can't have a sub-menu on a sub-menu.
Also, if you decide you want your pages in a different order the 'shuffle' functionality is a nightmare. I'm still not 100% sure how it works and spent most of a day shuffling pages around. When I eventually got the pages in the sort of order I wanted I found that the hyperlinks in them weren't carried over - so basically the hyperlinks now pointed to the wrong pages. Very frustrating.
Additionally, the header creation page always locks up on me, both on my Mac and my PC.
The email package is OK, not great functionality and not much space but it does the job. At the end of the day you can forward emails onto your own mail package and they have a tutorial to show you how to do this.
All that said I've still managed to create a semi professional looking site and it is easy to understand. The book that accompanies the pack and the tutorials on YouTube are helpful. If you're new to creating websites and you want something cheap and easy then I would recommend this.
Very good - and easy to use April 12, 2008

I bought Mr site around 3 months ago and I have never had any problems with it. Compared to other providers mrsite is exellent value for money, and with all of the features (such as flash slideshows & Photo editing) it beats most other providers on features alone.
The only problem I have found with the software is HTML coding which sometimes may not work once you have edited the page it has been inserted in.
Good enough April 11, 2008

I was perfectly satisfied with this product in terms of site design. The templates are flexible and you can (as I did) upload your own banner complete with your existing logo. That said, my site is intentionally pretty straighforward (if you want to have a look at the kind of thing Mr Site can do, try www.michaelsellars.com for a taster.
The only drawback is optimisation. Now that my site is up and running, I'm finding it practically impossible to make the most of Googles' many tools to improve the visibility of my site. Mr Site Pro has its own optimisation tools but I'm not sure how effective they are.
All in all, though, for the price, Mr Site is a good little package.
