I don't want to have to learn coding (I understand a little html but that's it) so it's good for me to have someone to take care of the back end.
You don't need to learn any coding whatsoever to set up a Wordpress site. You don't even have to handle any files! Use the one click-installer that most web hosts have, and then build your site from within the Wordpress backend. Way better than SBI, even for total beginners.

Thanks for the tip! I looked into those reviews and discovered an online revolt among internet marketers against SBI! It appears to have started with this negative review, then Ken Evoy and co. showing up in the comments. The anti-SBI coalition is forming at Griz's blog where he has a huge list of negative links about SBI.

There are a lot more problems beneath the surface. If you start looking at the alternatives, like using Wordpress, you'll see that SBI is outdated (and getting moreso by the day) and is probably going to die off. It would be smart to avoid SBI just for the long term flexibility: what if SBI goes under? It's not easy to transfer out an SBI site that's built on their platform.
