VC funding is easy to get these days. Spending VC money is even easier… but once everything is spent… companies usually go out of business. Yes, this is more and more often.

So guys, wait with congragulations until they prove they are real self-sustaining business and not just another black hole.

I tried Homestead years ago. At the time, it was not only difficult to use for the newbie I was, but there were so many pop-up ads it was rendered effectively unusable. Synthasite is simply the best simple online website-builder around for those who can’t code or, like myself, are too lazy to. I recommend it to my friends all the time, even those who aren’t particularly bright.

Does raising 20 mil mean they are any good — at anything other than raising 20 mil ?

Granted that alone is a neat trick but it does not mean they offer a good service…

You know I am in the market for a new design just now so I went to check out the 2k site mentioned.

What a heap of pants! I too do not wish to be rude but I tell you what, if I was asked to pay $200 for that I might change my mind about the wanting to be rude.

2k is just a joke!
