Personally I use Sitekreator when working with/training small businesses and the enhancement they are about to make to the interface http://video.sitekreator.com/user_interface_demo.html will make it easier to use again. There are a lot of people (especially web developers and those in that community of interest) who have valid comments about these tools (design standards, HTML standards etc) but as Tim Peters says above they are a starting point. And for many micro businesses the cost of paying a good web developer to build a simple site does not yet pay back - certainly in Ireland. keith This service space continues to evolve and all three of these tools are great.

I wrote a post last night arguing <a href="http://www.timpeter.com/blog/2008/01/03/is-your-business-still-invisible-why/" rel="nofollow">all small businesses need a website</a>, and wish I'd seen this first. While I still think Wordpress provides a better option (for its ability to move content to a separate hosted domain when the business is ready if nothing else), each of these provides small business owners with a viable option. I'll look to get a more detailed comparison up within the next several days. @Chris - I agree with Anne that there will be a place for designers. But, I would worry about your business if that place is at the low-end. The more value add you can provide, the better. And who's to say you can't use one (or more) of these tools as your develop/deploy platform and transform yourself into a designer/integrator? @T - For many small businesses, these types of tools are all that's necessary. While some folks now scoff at the idea of "brochure-ware" sites, for many small, local businesses, that's plenty. Give your customers the ability to learn who you are and how to contact you and you'll be in pretty good shape. Nothing stupid about that as far as I can see. So be nice. :-) Great write-up, Anne.

Is there something specific you're referring to? I'm interested in a better "web site creation" tool than my current one (Google Page Creator). But if these three aren't suitable for a business web site, what specifically don't you like, and is there an alternative that you would suggest? Or are they just "stupid"? Why do you say that, “T”?
