Summary: Wait, there's more!
Review: Everything in the first review, but also...If you put in 2 spaces (text) or more in a row, it will automatically "fix" it for you. There is no way to get around that. Since pressing 'tab' does nothing, that means paragraphs are not allowed! And, the script for even a very simple, single page with just a few text and pictures thrown in is 20 lines average. One page was 39 pages in notepad! Visitors to you site without broadband will be waiting a while for your script to load if you use this. This may sound too ridiculous to be true, but it is. If you decide to get this anyway, you'll end of buying another html-editor like me. You can start with a site built somewhere else in most editors, so you won't have to start over at least. But, since you begin with the same html code, it will still be 20+ notepad pages of code per single web page (not single web site).

Summary: Good Entry for the non HTML savvy
Review: I see everyone else panning this product, but I have to say that for the money and the ease of use, I am very happy with it. I don't know about using it for a web business, but for a personal site it has been very easy to use and fun. I thought I would just put together a little 4-5 page website (text and some pictures) for my friends and family to view, but once I started I wound up with 21 pages including ones that include dissolves, music, and flying pictures. Heck, a web designer who gave a presentation to my boss about designing our business website saw my site and said that there was too much activity and it would "scare away" potential customers. Later on she admitted that she didn't have the ability to duplicate some of my features because her company basically used a template "cookie cutter" program.
So, if you are just looking to have fun and don't have the time to learn HTML just yet, I would say give this program a chance.
P.S. I have had no problem with tech support but having to go to the website to download additional clipart (vs. having it on a disc) has been a pain at times.

Review: This is probally one of the easist software packages to work with, if you are famillier with web page creation. It has a very complete help file that will answer any questions you have.
It is so quick and easy to insert text or graphics, or you can copy/paste from Word or Excel in a click.
It has so many features, if you look through the menus, however it can be confusing as to which menu to look in, for it contains so many options.
I have been running several different web business with this software, and find it very nice to work with. Everything from resizing graphics, adjusting page sizes, even inserting html is a snap with the html tools, and linking pages doesn't get any easier than this.
Uploading is very simple if you get your upload info from your web host, it will remember all your upload info for all your different web sites if you "label" the upload info, and can be recalled by clicking the pull down.
I would recommend this package to anyone who wants a professional looking web site, and really doesn't know much about html. It is basically fool proof. Even if you shift your files in your computer, It is smart enough to go looking for them, even if you have multiple drives.
The main thing is read the help file. It has so much to offer if you read the info explaining how it works.

Summary: I really didn't want to give this any star!
Review: This problem looked so tempting on the sales display at the retail store. It advertised that it made it easy for one to put together a website. Well, I admit that it is easy to create it but I have yet to publish it. I had so much trouble uploading it and the real problem was, it wasn't my computer. I tried to use Ixla' on-line support but none of their automated simple answers satisfied my question. When I tried to call their support by phone, they were only open M-F, from 8-5pm.....how convenient! I will never buy anything from IXLA again. What a waste of money!

Summary: It's hard to describe this product without using profanity
Review: This was the only software at the store other than Microsoft Frontpage. I figured I'd get the cheaper one because I wasn't going to invest much time or money in my web site. It's extremely simple with few features. What you see on the program is nothing like what you'll see in a web browser. The text alignment is off by several lines, and these squares mysteriously appear at the end of half the text, and you can't see them in the program or get rid of them. It doesn't even support something as simple as frames. And all your pages are required to be the same size. I asked them a question on tech support through their website but they never answered. You can find better programs on the net for free. Only get this program if you plan to make one of those personal sites that serve no purpose other than to waste other people's time when they use a search engine. Forget that, don't get this program in any case for any reason. Consider yourself warned by someone who learned this the hard way. A new 'zero stars' category should be created just for this product.
