It is an incredible challenge in a weird market. We are all working hard to conceive the easiest idiot proof interface to allow anyone to present their content on the web ... it is mainly a big lie... Once technology becomes so easy to use that it is transparent, when you achieved a really incredibly easy tool to organize content into interlinked pages ... You still leave users with the most important aspect of creating a website: Actually producing and organizing the content... It seems to me that this is the real challenge. Some kind of simple "web-note-page-pad" with a result that is easily browsable by the most inexperienced reader and on all (mobile) devices with a single site.

Cloversites uses a very different model, and while $1,000 (really $1,240 for the first year and $240 for each year after), may seem like a lot, their builder and tools might make sense for some businesses. I'll look to do a detailed review of Cloversites at some point (or you could <a href="http://www.timpeter.com/blog/2009/04/12/call-for-guest-bloggers/" rel="nofollow">join our guest bloggers</a> and write it for Thinks). In either case, thanks for the comment and I look forward to hearing more from you. Hi Jeff,

Sitekreator.com wins by a mile - better templates, more design flexibility, more add-ons and widgets, and MUCH LOWER price - Cloversites charges a $1000 initial fee, Sitekreator.com charges $0.

He conseguido hacer mi propia web, me sale mucho más económica que la que antes tenía y, además, puedo hacer cualquier cambio en el momento que desee sin tener que esperar a que me lo haga un informático. Con jimdo pro me responden en uno o dos días, siempre, y además de forma muy cortés. Se puede aprender mucho en el blog y en el foro. Tal vez al principio, en algunas cosas y según tu nivel, necesites de alguien que conozcas que te pueda ayudar en algo concreto, pero en general es muy sencillo, el panel de control también. Para quien quiera hacer una web con amplias opciones y que sea económica, se lo recomiendo. Con jimdo pro tienes dominio propio, amplio hosting, apoyo tecnico via email con respuesta en 48 horas y tienda online limitada a 10 productos por 60 euros al año.

Here's the response I got from the Jimdo team: <blockquote>We're sorry that Craig had a bad experience with Jimdo's support. We looked into Craig's issues in detail because we want to make sure we're top-notch in this area. Our team members team do respond to all emails individually and promptly. As it turns out, technical issues on one end or the other (in this case, with receiving our email responses) can cause problems. Our apologies to Craig, and I hope his domain transfer authcode has been received at the email address where he can get our emails.</blockquote> One of the great things about social media is the voice it provides customers. It looks like Jimdo is willing to work with you to resolve the problem. Please, Craig, let us all know if you got everything you needed. Hi Craig,

They have hijacked my domain name and will not allow me to transfer it 3 months after my obligations with them were over. Worse, for the past 12 days I have used every possible way to contact them, email, forum, Jimdo Pro's direct support and for 12 days I have received zero response. If U need a service that U will never ever EVER need customer support than Jimdo is ur ticket. But if U ever do need it, good luck. My time at Jimdo was fine until I had to leave.
