It looked good for a complete novice like me. I found the manual to be a struggle for a beginner and eventually muddled through to designing a site. However, despite its 'what you see is what you get' philosophy, I didn't. It told me the "project cannot be exported to HTML as dynamic contents are used". Er - what? I thought that was the idea. As a novice, you can probably understand my bewilderment. I don't know what it means - all I know is that you are supposed to hit the button and the whole thing should upload. I have everything enabled, but it publishes blank pages in some areas. No-one can offer an explanation or advice on how to address this - and much worse - the support forum and site is German. I cannot recommend this to a beginner as I have wasted my money and almost inevitably have to scrap it. I'm sure it would be great for those who know what they are doing, but for me - the novice - it doesn't do what it says on the box. What you see is NOT what you get!
