Comments on: TC50(DemoPit): SnapPages, A Basic Webpage Designer That Apple Should Envy (Or Buy) http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/12/tc50demopit-snappages-a-basic-webpage-designer-that-apple-should-envy-or-buy/ Startup and Technology News Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:46:59 -0800 hourly 1 By: Jake http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/12/tc50demopit-snappages-a-basic-webpage-designer-that-apple-should-envy-or-buy/comment-page-1/#comment-3023312 Jake Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:59:37 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/?p=22160#comment-3023312 An effective website is more than pretty pictures and neato widgets. The purpose of most websites is to serve the needs of the organization it represents. Businesses are meant to stand out, have their own identity, and they're not going to get that with Snappages. You're not going to stand out by using cookie cutter web templates Snappages provides. Sure, you can change colors and to a page, make minor changes in layout, but editing capabilities are limited. So, your business isn't truly standing out among the rest b/c just a click away there is another site that looks veeery similar to yours. Also, when it comes to customer service I bet you'll get a faster response and assistance with a web developer than having to wait 15 minutes just to get through snappages customer pages only to speak to some guy over in India who could care less on what your needing. Think about it, think long term, think what's good for your business now and in the long run and just not now. An effective website is more than pretty pictures and neato widgets.

One conclusion I have come to is that this cannot possibly be a one-man operation--the site is just too cool and no one is that cool to create something like this by themselves (*wink*). I've had a website out here with another company for about 6 years and, at one time, the user-interface was easy to understand, easy to use---making changes, without needing to know all of the technical 'stuff', was simple. But, about a year ago (or so), an email was sent out to the company's (paying) customers and things changed. They wanted to go more in the direction to accommodate people who knew the technical 'stuff' and offer them the ability to have more control over their (individual) sites. People like me (zero website design skills), who the company originally marketed themselves for, got screwed. We ended up with nothing but a shell of what we were used to (and paying for). I don't know code and I don't want to know code. All of this technical 'stuff' ["makes"";;me::~=~loopy~"] I would rather pay someone to figure that out for me and, at the same time, not have a cheesy-looking site. Steve is offering so much more and he's offering a free version.....oh, and the site is rockin. It kicks some serious butt and I like that. Steve's site, like someone said here a few months back, is breathtaking. Marcia---you can add a PayPal link---check out the forums.
