I purchased SBI based on Steve's recommendation. I trusted that Steve had the integrity to recommend only the best products. I was thoroughly disappointed with SBI, and wrote about it: A Negative Review of Site Build It (SBI).

I find it very strange that there aren't more negative opinions of SBI. Perhaps it's because SBI users are almost all new creating websites, so they have nothing to compare it to. I had a bit of webmaster experience before starting, so I found SBI to be a very mediocre product. The free alternatives out there are just so much better. After trying SBI, I started using Wordpress. I can't tell you how much better it is

.

I honestly think that Steve should reassess his recommendation of SBI. He's doing a disservice to his readers by promoting a lousy product. There are much better alternatives available. I think one would be much better off starting a Wordpress site (it can do blogs and/or content sites).

Anyone else feel the same way?
