Review: It is supposed to be easy, they say. I read the other reviews here and they make it sound pretty simple (even though they sounded a lot like marketing brochures), so I make the jump... and end up knee-deep in a mess. First off, I want to keep using my netscape browser: NO, I am told, you must use ONLY the Microsoft browser. next, I want to use my new imac I got from the kids: NO, I am told, you must use ONLY a windows computer. So fine, I install microsfot's internet explorer on my windows computer... 14 hours later, I am STILL trying to figure out how this product even works! Enough is enough, back in the box it goes.

Review: The emerchant software made it so simple for us to put together a spectacular site and we have received so many compliments on it already. We were up and running quickly and I HAVE NO TRAINING IN WEB SITE DESIGN. It's nothing less than amazing.

Summary: Great but...
Review: This is a great product---I was really impressed with the ease with which one could customise it. The templates were superb. I was able to create a business site in an evening. The only downside to the product is that you are FORCED to host your site with the owners of the product. I had a website before I bought the product, and I wasn't ready to have two different websites. If you don't have a business site and you are ready to host your site with the owner of the program, this is probably the best product there is. However, if you are trying to upgrade an existing site with ecommerce capabilities, this might not be suitable for you--unless of course you are ready to pay for two sites at the same time.
