SITE123

Pros

Numerous templates to make it easy to get started.Customisable with no coding needed.Online help is absolutely fabulous!!! OK, better than that actually.

Cons

Disappointed I can't have public and members only sections on same site.Default email is very very outdated

Pros

The Site123 administrative panel is relatively simple to manage, and there is 24/7 online chat support to answer any questions about a particular function. The sites look professional, and there are a number of nice features and integrations in the Site123 system.

Cons

1) I am VERY frustrated by the 2,000-character limit in each section of custom code. I still have over 90% of my allotted space (10 GB) available for use, so I am not clear as to why this limit is so low. I would create several more websites on Site123 if this limit were lifted to at least 5,000 characters. The limit seems arbitrary - customers HATE arbitrary limits.2) I am frustrated at the 200-page limit for the entire site. I understand that there have been some performance issues for other customers when they exceed 200 pages on their site, but that is Site123's issue to figure out. Again, I still have over 90% of my allotted space (10 GB), so it is frustrating not to be able to use it due to a technical issue.

Reasons for Switching to SITE123

Pros

SITE123 offers multilingual languages to choose from with automatic translations and is simple to use while viewing content.

Cons

Cons of SITE123 include the lack of mobile application presence with IOS or Android. This would dramatically enhance the capabilities for targeted audience for usage.

Pros

The ease of getting started was attractive to me. I had a website I was proud of within less than a week of learning the website. Since then, I have been able to embellish and make adjustments to my presentations of my ebooks, stories, and other writings. I had always dreamed about giving my stories a stage to shine and Site123 has allowed me to make this dream come true. People rave about the attractiveness and easy to use writing site I have made using the variety of tools available on this site. My many writings are special to me, like my own children in some ways. I am able to dress these stories up so they look good to others who come and visit my site.

Cons

I have only one concern: Bandwidth. I have been adding many items to my stories and this apparently has caused me to almost approach my monthly limit of bandwidth. This is a concern and one that could cause me to shop elsewhere. I have asked for help on this subject, but have yet to receive much satisfaction. I guess I will simply have to avoid doing too much additions to my site each month until I can find some other remedy.
