Rating: Summary: Homesite Professional Review: For beginners this is a good program, but for more advanced users - who like to get in, modify, and have the site reflect those modifications - it feels like wading through quick sand. Plus, if you ever hire a competent web-developer to make modifications to the site, it's actually going to cost you more because (s)he will need to use Homestead to modify the site.

Rating: Summary: Professional Results & Easy to Use! Review: I have been using Homestead Professional for months and I have nothing but praise for the site-hosting software. My restaurant's website is so professional looking you would never guess that I built it myself in a matter of hours. Homestead makes it easy to build a website from scratch. It is like using MSWord or Powerpoint. I just used my company logo, combined with the standard Homestead tools to make my website professional, simple, and easy to navigate. In fact, the Homestead software includes a navigation bar tool. When I want to add a new page to my website I add it once to the navigation bar. Now that new page can be viewed from ALL of my website pages. Check out my website at ... and you will see what I mean.
Rating: Summary: Web Building Made Easy Review: I have been using this product for the past year and would now be lost without it. To promote my business I needed a web site, but did not want to pay anyone to do it for me, mainly because I wanted to be in control of things. After looking at a number of similar packages, all of which made claims that they were quick and easy, I settled with Homestead. It really is quick! I had a basic site up and running in under an hour. More importantly to me was that the software can be used by a novice computer user. Great value for money too.
Rating: Summary: Great Solution at a very good price Review: I just bought this software and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use and the extensive features that came bundled with it. Much cheaper then something like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. It also has an e-commerce package bundled in called StoreSense and an integrated payment gateway and merchant processing from Paymentech. Great solution overall and I would highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Easiest Web Site Software Review: I just found Homestead Professional 6 months ago and have built 2 web sites with it. I was shocked at how easy it was to use! In just 2 hours, I created a nice looking web site with a photos, a web poll, a guest book and links to other sites. I doubt you can find anything easier to use.
Rating: Summary: Homestead Review: I was able to build my own professional looking website in one afternoon! I added my personal web address (that is included with Homestead Professional) to all of my business cards and marketing materials. My clients can now get all of the information they need quickly and hassle free. They can even order my products directly from my website! I have increased my possible client base to the entire nation whereas before, it was just my hometown.

Rating: Summary: Absolutely the Best! Review: I've been using Homestead since February 2000 and Homestead Professional since May 2001. I found it extremely easy to learn and use. I created an entire web site with over 8 pages using their software. I added my own photos and use graphics from the Homestead Site Builder. The instructions were written for folks like me with very little computer knowledge. I found their support as one of the companies strongest assets. Since I am a novice at computers, I had many questions. They were answered promptly. I highly recommend this company and product.
Rating: Summary: The best option out there (period) Review: I've looked at a bunch of the services out there (frontpage, bbedit, etc), and Homestead is by far the best option available. Their software is *very* easy to use, and it lets you build a site that almost any web designer would be proud of. The only things you can't do are custom flash presentations, but who needs that ? Within a few hours, you can have your site up and running. The best part of Homestead is that they include the hosting, domain name and e-mail addresses all in one package for a very reasonable price.
