xsite pro sounds really good unfortunately I cant use it because I have an apple mac. My search continues. If you hear of any others that support macs could you let me know please, thanks

This is quite a stretch from the last dated question…hope to get an answer. DOES Site Build It support PHP or not??? I see documentation stating both. I really need an answer as I just purchased Flash Page Flip Pro PHP as I am building an Ebook website. I am at a point where I have no idea how to even get my FPF Pro PHP started. I don’t want to waste time if I can’t even use it with my new Site Build It site.

Hi,

I just wondered if SBI can also be used for a Web-site in Spanish language. I mean, will SBI take care to register it in the Spanish Search Engines and Directories? Does the Brainstorm it also work for Spanish keywords etc…

Thanks for your reply.

Hi LPR,

Sorry for the late reply. I can't really give you a direct answer as it really depends on many things such as what type of web site you'd like to build, what you have planned ahead. I still think that SBI is a great way to start to learn "the business" but provided you're willing to accept it's limitations. SBI does have a money back guarantee if you find it's not quite what you were after.

Hello Bina,

Nice blog you got here interesting subjects. You did make me rethink what I thought i had decided already.

Thing is, and maybe you'll be able to help me, but I have everything to learn about the Ebiz, I mean everything, I read a lot of the concepts , but now I know my next step is to jump in and get the experience.

On the other hand, I'm a computer programmer, not specialized in web sites though, and I will eventually want to code server-sides scripts and also Ajax. But this won't be before I'm proficient with the Business side.

I was convinced that XsitePro was better suited since it is more flexible and doesn't lock you up on server and doesn't make you use only native tools.

Is it better to use SiteBuildIt To learn the biz and not worry about the technicalities upfront.

Basically, I still have some thinking to do.

What would your take be on this?

Have a great day!

Hi Jeff,

With respect to "design", SBI will allow you to use your own. That includes one the you have designed from scratch. If you were to buy a site template, for example, as long as you have some HTML knowledge, you can certainly get it to work with the SBI system.

What I mean by custom scripts are PHP, CGI or Perl scripts that you need to put on the server to process your data. You wouldn't be able to upload your own form processing script, for example.

I hope that clears things up for you.

Hi. I’m considering SBI for my existing brick and mortar business (printing/design) and have a question about what you said concerning the flexibility of SBI. You were saying that you could not incorporate custom scripts into your site. When I went through the SCI presentation, it stated that you could build your own site from scratch and still use it with SBI. (Graphically, I find alot of the SBI sites leave something to be desired, so I’d probably want to use my own.) Could you give me some clarity on this? Thanks.

Itoro, it is hard for me to give you an opinion since I don't know a lot of things about you. For example, to what extend is your knowledge (besides the one you have already mentioned), your budget, your goals, your objectives …

Having said that, I would normally recommend anyone starting their very first site to go SBI. With SBI you all the tools you need, for e.g. brainstorm tool which will help you identify profitable niches BEFORE you start. An SBI account also includes domain and hosting, plus email list hosting, in bound tracking, out bound tracking, and a complete manual on how to start.

With XSitePro, you will have to also invest in a domain, hosting account, keyword research tools and a mailing list service (just to name a few). So, unless you already have all this, it is more cost effective to start out with SBI.

To make a better decision though, I recommend you take a look at some of SBI training videos to get an idea of what you're in for.
