Mobirise had virtually no learning curve and I now all I have left are some soft tweaks.

    They don't have a CMS type block but experimenting with Cushy CMS has worked perfectly, still keeping such pages responsive.
    Beach Ape,

    I always use forms. First to obtain all the info in order to assess the sender and to add it to the d-base quickly.
    Secondly, using forms hides my email stopping spammers dead on their tracks.

    I also use forwarders. When I get one spam / week for two weeks, I delete the forwarder and create a new one. I do this since 1997 when I began making websites for others and me.
    I NEVER get spammed more that 1-2 emails this way.

    I have a form with ... 19 fields on a website, the others have only 5-6 fields.

    Anton, you are a pro and undoubtedly can do what you see best for you.

    Cellphones and smartphones became soooo working class.

    Smartphones are killing Americans, but nobody’s counting

    How many of the 70% in USA and 90% elsewhere die because they want to work while driving? Is that kind of hurried work really important?
    (John to himself; do I really need to know? I shall NEVER work while driving, not even if I hire a private driver!)

    The technology exists to disable all mobile communication (exuding 911 emergency calls) when the device is in motion.

    It will take the death of a president's child for this to happen, but it will.

    I foresee in the not too distant future that cell phones will require a license just like driving and will not work unless barometrically linked to the user (i.e. not your fingerprint that is licensed to the device, no phone)

    It's coming but it will take a major death of a child of a prominent political person for it to happen

    Just the posting diarrhea you put out would be nice so getting to real information would be easier. I still remain open to deletion but it's continued existence is an invitation that I will use in moderation.

    Hi Mike,

    Cell & smart phones have become the tools of laborers / working class.
    Text while driving, talk while walking or driving have become the symbol of mentally agitated people because of greater and greater crowd pressures.

    As for the barometrically linked syndrome, I agree.
    Since 2006 I said that computers must have a set of inbuilt difficult questions.
    Not answered correctly, and voila, the PC does not boot up because it shows the user is in an agitated, destructive and / or criminal mode.

    To me, I go to the PC like I go to church.
    Yes, often times I irritate people but that's my way of letting the steam off, taking a break, from I am actually doing with the PC.

    Terrific reviews..see:https://superbwebsitebuilders.com/ukit-review/
    and https://mmthomasblog.com/ukit-review/

    I've always said I prefer to pay outright for a product - and they do charge monthly. However their top package is just US$12/month if taken annually, so that's not a huge deal.
    With that you get full access to edit using html/css/js etc and live chat support.

    The only downside I see initially is that the image options are virtually non existent - but maybe I can use external product for those if needed.
    Certainly going to evaluate this one and will come back on it.

    Still like Template Toaster, but support have not yet replied to my list of bugs in their Beta version.
    Still to evaluate CC Responsive Site Designer. Cannot download successfully it seems to complete at 190mb(!!) yet then fails. No response from CC.
    Hi gprit,

    uKit is nice, but not for me. It's nice to have live support (and everything uKit advertises at the website) but I do not offer my customers such services.
    Paying $10 / month is a lot. I pay $6 / year to a hosting reseller in India and my websites are hosted in USA.

    I am amazed how many WYSIWYG software's flooded the Net lately ... Incredible ... Tough competition out there ...

    Thank you for pointing us to other web design packages! :-)

    Moved from desktop to laptop to smart phone now onto a watch. Email, browser, phone, and a LOT more.

    Smart phones are so yesterday.

    Samsung G2 gear watch. Not quite ready for prime time but they are getting more powerful with each new release

    Seems to me this thread has degenerated somewhat.
    I'll try and stick to the point.
    Have looked at (ok, tried) uKit and have found that again it's not for me. Why?:
    1) It's online development only - When I am in France I have a monthly usage of 42gb upload/month.
    2) Cannot amend just the mobile version.
    3) Cannot save to desktop and it seems backups are once a week.
    4) Must be hosted with uKit - cannot choose your own host (this seems the case with very many products, although TT and Mobirise can host anywhere).
    4) email forwarding is not included.

    Shame because it looked quite promising.
    Template Toaster is still the frontrunner ...IF I can get a version without all the obvious bugs.
    Taking another look (metaphorically) at Coffee Cup RSD. Certainly looks the most comprehensive and they have an excellent manual, but also I think the steepest learning curve (I also don't wont to go adding my own Divs/Classes(!).

    Will continue my travails....so many out there these days.
