WebEasy Professional

I received a message that the serial number was expired when I tried to register on-line with the CD that I received. As a result, I could not received the extra benefits offered by the software. I tried to download the software to get the extra benefits and could not download the software either. However, I can use the software, and it works well. I like it.

For basic website making, it is perfect. Inserting images, text, and links to website locations is a breeze. It also has many features that I have not used which gives it the ability to create fairly complex sites.

I purchased this software based on reviews and the fact that it had a template I wanted to use. It took three weeks to create a website that is functionally limited. If you try to create a simple, single page HTML website without any add-ons you probably can do it in a day or two. If you want any dynamic content you will have problems making it work.If you follow the user's guide you will have all sorts of problems. First, the guide leaves alot out. Second, some of it is just plain incorrect. Need help? Try their chat line first. These folks don't know much at all about their product. If the answer isn't on their script they ask you to call their "senior techs". Once you find out that they don't know much more (after waiting a half hour on hold) they transfer you to the company that created the software. Be prepared to wait for at least 45 minutes before you get to speak with someone. The first time I tried my phone died from the wait. They will listen to your problems, then tell you that the software has bugs and you can't do what you want.I wanted six simple things. First, I wanted to be able to link a button to a pdf document. We got there, but the process took about 20 minutes of renaming files and changing code. The manual says this is a simple link. It isn't. Second, I wanted to be able to click anywhere on a button to go to a link or popup. You will want to place text on a button (of course you want to name your links), but you cannot click on the text to get the button to do anything. You can only click where there isn't any text. Solution? Nope. It's a software bug. Third, I wanted popup menus to display a solid background. Can you do this? Nope, another software bug. If your popup box overlaps your page text, both the page and popup text bleed through the box. Fourth, I wanted to select 11 point tfonts as labels on graphics on some parts of my site. 12 point was too large and 10 point was too small. Too bad. You cannot select an odd sized font. Fifth, I tried to place links on pictures that were on the template. You can create the links and review them, but when you build the site the links won't be there. You have to delete the picture, then paste it back in. Another software bug. The sixth problem drove me nuts. To build a multi-page site you start with a template. I built a total of 18 pages off of my template. If you need to make changes you should be able to make them on the template, then they should automatically apply to your other pages. The don't - another software bug. When I discovered that the links on the pictures didn't work, I had to change every single page, including rebuilding all of the links. Changing the template only affects the template.All together, I spent three weeks creating my site, sifting through the ommissions and incorrect information in the manual, talking with suppport people who don't know their product, and finally getting the site on-line. Now that I know that I cannot use some of my popups (because of the text bleed through) and some other problems my site looks unprofessional and is unusable. I will have to purchase new software and start from scratch.Web easy is anything but easy. If you are looking for web site creation software and you want a build a dynamic HTML site, my best advise is to look elsewhere.

I thought it easy to upload/insert pictures. It was not. When I insert a picture, the image ( of picture) stratched the shape of temprate.ex: the image was about 2X4. Then the shape of the window was 2X4.5, then my image was expanded to 2X4.5. It looks funny. I don't find how to solve this problem yet.Anyway, it was not simple as I expected.And the temprates are very limited function. I don't have freedom to change the color or font of temprate which I like. Well, this is what I get for the price.

Overall i liked the product. you can do a lot with it opposed to front page which i used to use. a con of the program is you have to press rebuild button and reload all the files that changed as opposed to only the page you changed. i have only used the product for a few weeks but i'm beginning to really like it once the learning curve is over.For the price i would recommend it.

If you take the time figuring out the features, this can work well for you. I used it for [...] for an example. The one thing I was disappointed in is that you can't modify the text on the top links on the page. I'm still trying to find a way around that.

What an awesome program for those folks out there that want something simple.It takes some time to get to learn all the fun things that you actually can do with this software but other than that I think it is great!
