Customer Reviews:

Description Incomplete [Posted on 2005-01-19]
I'm not sure if the program does everything as listed in the description, because I never used it once I put the CD in the drive. I was looking for a program with customizable templates to make a web page to upload to my own webspace, under my own domain.

When I put the disk in, it told me to make sure I was connected to the Internet before continuing. It then asks you to put in the Product Key Code, and finally, asks you some questions to "create your account." At this point, you are on the Internet at this company's site. So, this is where I quit...I believe now, after reading through the books and online information, what you are doing, in fact, is using this software to create a webpage on their webspace. I did not see a way of making web pages for your own personal space.

So, if all you are looking for is a program to create HTML web pages for your own space, this program will not do it. Sorry for the 1 star, but since the description was incomplete when I purchased it, I now have to return it and look for a different program.

Just don't buy this Software. This Software has a catch. [Posted on 2005-07-13]
This program is not a regular software like MS Frontpage for creating websites. You can only create web pages on their website. AND YOU MUST PAY THE HOSTING FEES EVERY MONTH. You will not be able to create web pages for IntRAnet. I do not understand what a customer gets by buying this software at all. What they are trying to sell is a subscription. It is a stupid trick and this software is a shame. You will be wasting your money by buying this. Amazon must discontinue holding this software.

Don't buy it. [Posted on 2005-07-13]
Don't buy it. It is not a software. It is a subscription.
You will have to host the web pages only at their website and you must pay $14.99 per month for that.

FRAUD [Posted on 2005-07-23]
I think most people would agree this software is a fraud. As the other reviews state, the "software" is not a program, but rather a link to the websiteanimal web site, where I am guessing you can get a "free trial" to the hosting service because you purchased this nearly BLANK CD.

While the box and product description state you can create a web site, that is not true. As far as I can tell, the only thing you can do with this CD is link to their web site, and enter the key on the CD to get a "free hosting trial" which of course is also untrue because the CD has to be bought.

The CD does not allow the user to download any programs to the computer, as far as I can tell. In my opinion this makes it like any hosting service with built-in tools.

Website Animal Site Maker Pro is useless [Posted on 2005-07-23]
I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased this product.
It is not what I assumed it would be. Linking only to the web
site of Site Maker Pro is useless.
I could have joined my Chamber of Commerce and linked to their site with a much larger viewing audience.
I am new to web site building and have learned my lesson
at a cost.
