Brand: Homestead Technologies EAN: 0820886000013 Format: CD-ROM Label: Homestead Technologies Manufacturer: Homestead Technologies Platform: Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 95 Publisher: Homestead Technologies Release Date: November 21, 2001 Studio: Homestead Technologies Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Web-based businesses generally have to decide between features and price when setting up their sites. Homestead Professional offers a good balance--users can easily build powerful sites with relatively little investment of time or money. Now subscription-based, Homestead provides hosting, domain registration, simple Web design software, and ongoing support in exchange for monthly charges. Homestead's page-design software is easy to install and use; the interface is an intuitive drag-and-drop framework that permits quick and painless architecture. The range of options ensures that each site looks unique, so users needn't fear the cookie-cutter effect that turns off customers. While a small number of users may be disappointed that their site's interior pages have homestead.com URLs, most visitors either won't notice or won't care. The subscription model carries with it abuse potential, so it's a good idea to keep an eye out for changes to service agreements, rates, and other Homestead-controlled details. Of course, it's in the company's best interests to keep its customers happy, and so far it's done a very good job. --Rob Lightner Average Rating:

Rating: - This is the BEST web site building software I have ever usedIt is the best web page software I have ever used. Within an hour, I have created a professional-looking web page for my home business. And now my home business opens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If I can do it, anyone can do it. I highly recommend this excellent product. It really delievers its promises -- a professional web site. The best money I have ever spent on internet. Rating: - Web Building Made EasyI 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 ...

Modern products that do not work on a mac, and have no plans to work on a mac, have not availed themselves of the user centric qualties of the mac platform and the demands of its users. not only does it not work on a mac, nothing has been done to even make the files accessible from a non windows machine of any kind. gmb technology conselor, computer selections, woodstock |
