Although the program does a good job at taking away most
complicated issues in starting your own website, you still need a little
internet savvy to navigate and install the program. After a rather
tedious registration process (activation code), our account and domain
name were ready and the next step was creating our very own website.
It should be
noted that the domain name does take a little time in getting recognised
by the servers around the world and ours was up relatively fast. All
Australian .com.au domains also need an ABN number to be registered but if you're looking
for a .com domain, it does make things a little easier.
The next
step is to choose one of the hundreds of pre-existing templates for your
website. Even though the templates are rather professional, they do seem a
little generic at the best of times, however for most people, this
should be more than apt in creating an online presence.
Once you
have selected your content, you need to customise your webpage by text
content and it's a WYSIWYG type of interface which means "what you see
is what you get" that is ideal for visual people. It even allows for
easy uploads of photos and even a great online photo gallery.
Businesses
will also appreciate the integration with Paypal and whether you're
selling comics or plants, setting up your inventory, costs and shipping
has never been easier. In terms of speed, the only issue that we had is
that the files are hosted out of the UK and at certain times, we did
have some lag for our webpage access, especially via the Mr. Site
interface.
At the end
of the day, Mr Site Takeaway website Pro has everything you need to get
started very fast and requires minimal computer experience to create
some impressive websites. Unfortunately you are limited to web space
which is 600MB that could be an issue for some but with over 50 email
addresses, including spam and virus protection, we still found this
program quite useful. Of course unlimited bandwidth is another seller
plus FTP support for those who want a little more control over their
websites. Bravo indeed!
Editor's
note: It should also
be noted that Mr Site features some interesting SEO tools for getting
your website ranked with popular search engines such as Google. |
