Good Website Builders

ggallucci · July 2008

I`m in search of a good Website Builder. I need either a service or software that will allow me to build and maintain an e-commerce site. Looking for something that will allow me to import my own template, apps (ie shopping carts, blogs etc) and is fairly easy to use. I am tech savvy, just been out of the game awhile and from the looks of things building a website is not just html anymore. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks
Greg

Yes I agree with Nikole,
Zen Cart is the way to go. Or if you don`t like it go with Os Commerce, or Magento shopping Cart.
Where you been Nikole? Nice to have you back..

Thanks, I always thought Zen Cart was just a shopping cart application.

Nikole`s business is web development. If she says use it, use it.

I use Website Wizard for all my sites. Hate goDaddy`s website tonite but do have it for a couple of projects. User hostile. So was/is Ipowerweb. But these are turnkey sites, everything`s included. Not for true designers.

Input from someone who has enough hard earned knowledge to be dangerous.

I have to agree on Zen Cart. I have referred it to a lot of my clients.

"I need either a service or software that will allow me to build and maintain an e-commerce site."

I`d also recommend Zen Cart for your ecommerce needs.

Zen Cart is not a "website builder", but certainly can be modified to the look you desire.

Point and Click, Drop and Drag! This website building software is about to allow everyone to build extremely feature rich websites like never before.

I bought it and can honestly say that there has never been anything like this ever sold at any price! This is less than $200 bucks, with no renewals, update or hosting fee`s ever. Buy it once and it`s your forever.

I think you`ll like xsitepro2.com it has it all, Believe it!

Shopify looks good. Seem a little easier to use then zen cart.

Could someone clarify something. Zen Cart and Shopify are shopping cart applications, correct? Xsitepro is a website builder. I need to create a website with blogs, forums and pics and incorporate that with the products I will be selling. I am a bit confused as to if I can build such a website through these shopping carts apps or do I need to build the site seperatelty and add the shopping cart when uploading to the host. Note: the web design will be all custom templates that I have created, I will not be using standarized templates.

As I browse thought these shopping cart website it looks like you can create a website from them, but I am thinking that thier might be limitations on what you can do.

Hi Greg,
It`s kinda blatant, but I can recommend my studio. My link is in the signature.
As far as free software, I would recommend Magentocommerce.com

These guys have made detailed website Design and Construction as easy as point and click, Drop and Drag! For less than $200 bucks. My tech partner and I build websites the old fashioned way (Code) we we`re wondering who would eventually make it so that everyone could do it themselves. These folks have done it: http://www.xsitepro.com/index_r.html?p=DanAuito&w=home

Hey Dan, link that you gave has a referral code, no wonder you`re raving about this web site which by the way looks like piece of sh!t. If this is as much design you can get using this site, then it`s not worth the $200 you spend.
