You do have to have access to the PC you installed the software on as well as your files for design elements you add such as images and text (this is not a collaborative piece of CMS software), although with know-how you can possibly make a portable version of the software. And if you are a bit beyond out of the box website design, the software allows you to take things more into your own hands CONS The software always opens 'where you left off' and the in-built tab system lets you load any multiple sites you may be working on (very useful if you are working on a main site and its sub-domains). here is the ability to view the single web page or the entire website you are working on (internally via the software or via the browsers that you have installed on your PC). Adding third party elements such as html code to run widgets etc is very easy, and you can inspect things as you go along. The software allows you to make a PC, tablet and mobile-optimised website side-by-side as you work, which is a very useful function. That having been said, it is very easy to start a website from scratch out of the box. One of its other big advantages is that it is easy to get to know how to use - you just need a little experience with placeholders to get things right. While it has a multitude of templates for purchase that are fully customisable, you do have ultimate control through the fact that you have the software installed locally on your machine, which is one of the biggest advantages. PROSįor those who want relatively easy-to use WYSIWYG webs-design software to get away from the relative 'same look' of the instant, on-line web site space providers, this could be the programme for you.

Very convenient that as you build your main internet website, it builds tablet and mobile versions alongside. Great price and does what I want it to do. Easy to use, and yes, OK, sometimes a bit quirky in terms send-to-back and bring-to-front, but gives a very good result.
