Summary: Web Easy Professional
Review: I bought this software because it said you didn't need to know HTML, and that it was for "Professional" websites. I feel that it is misleading.If you want to make a small, simple website with some blinking graphics and a few easy links, then this program is ok. If you want to make anything more complicated, then get something else or learn HTML and website design so you know what all the "features" they don't explain are for. The documentation that comes with the software is only for the simple features. You have to go online to get any substantial help, and then it really isn't that thorough. You do need to know something about HTML. I finally got a website designed after reading the documentation that came with the program (several times to see if I was missing anything), consulting the online support several times, and using two HTML reference books, and lots of trial and error. Yes, this program has lots of advanced features, but it doesn't tell you how to use them, or at most, you must really dig to find the info. If I seem to be rambling it's because I just got done creating the web site and I feel tired, frustrated, and lied to.

Review: I bought Web Easy Pro without knowing anything about web site design. Web Easy taught my quite a bit. for all I learned I wont' get my $... back for what I paid. Text blocks will publish as GIF, Then right when you think you have finally published a working site, the thing looks like ..... Then you have to juggle things through trial and error, then you might have it. Then it will pick an arbitrary page and make it your home page. Web spiders don't even stop by Web Easy pages, thats gotta hurt business!!! Oh, and for a kick if you use meta tags, Web Easy uses its' own instead of yours.

Summary: Great product, easy to use.
Review: I tried several web page software products before I found Web Easy, and this is by far the best, most robust, and easiest to use product in this price range. Features I Liked: 1. Intuitive design and layout of the editor.
2. WYSIWYG, Drag and Drop simplicity. This really is WYSIWYG. Just drag and drop some clipart on the page editor. Type in some text and drag it to where you want it. They stay right where you put them! Amazing! No fussing with tables or layouts.
3. Dynamic HTML: Rollovers, page transitions, dynamic links, animations, etc. are all a snap. Most of the work is already done for you behind the scenes.
4. Link editor: Whether your linking all your pages together, linking to other web sites, or linking to a custom script - you can do it all with just a few clicks of the mouse.
5. One button preview. Just press a button and see and test your website right on your own computer. Features I didn't like: NONE! Go buy it - you won't be sorry!

Review: I've been using web easy for 3 years now, and I have to say that overall I like this product. Some of the complaints of other users I have not found to be a problem. You can write your own meta tag descriptions, including titles to pgs, description of web site and key words. Search engine crawlers DO stop at web easy sites. It does have many advanced features, which I am still discovering. But here are the drawbacks. First, you cannot import HTML files into the program. This can be a bummer if you find a template for sale or for free on the interenet that you really want to use. Instead, you have to save the template then open it up from web easy and piece it back together again as a drag and drop. Once you have it pieced back together you can save it as a template and use it for all of your pgs. Second, the program limits how long the titles of your pgs can be. If you want to lengthen your titles, build your site, then open it using Microsoft Exporer and click on view/source and change the title in the HTML and save your changes. It's not really that hard. Third, the URLS of the different pgs are always 001.htm, 002.htm, 003.htm and forth. The program cannot change this. If you want to change it tou have to do it directly in the HTML by openning it up in Microsoft Explorer and changing the HTML. It takes for ever to change the URLS that way. But I have found many ways around it's defects, and am able to build some pretty decent looking sites with it. For under $..., it really is a good deal. It is ideal for a beginner, particularly. The next step up is WebEditor 5.5 and it costs $..., almost 2x the amount.
