"Terrible product"
Version: BlueVoda Website Builder 11.0
Pros
Pretty easy to use and works well in the three major browsers: Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox. This is all voided because you have to sign up for their hosting service to publish. Even if you already have you own hosting.
Cons
They make you use THEIR hosting service to publish.

"Outstanding"
Version: BlueVoda Website Builder 11.0
Pros
An excellent WYSIWYG editor, and that too for free!
Cons
Here is a disadvantage- you can publish websites only with their VodaHost hosting service. But there is a lengthy process to extract the html code and images out of it.I am telling the process in the Summary.
Summary
It is outstanding. Here'[s what you should do to extract the code.
In step (iv), I missed a point that you should copy that code to notepad.
i) Make a folder, and in that make another folder named 'images'.
ii) Download Google Chrome. Once your website is made, make Chrome as your default browser, and in BlueVoda, click on File-> Preview-> Default Browser.
iii) The Google Chrome window/tab opens. Right click anywhere and click on view source. You can also get the code by click on View-> Page html.
iv) Copy that code and save it to your folder with the name index.html
.
v) This part you will have to do with Google Chrome if you have shapes.
vi) After you clicked the view source, you will see the code for the website. You will, in that code, find some hyperlinks (if you see it in Google Chrome). Click on one, an image will open. Right click on that image, and then click on 'Save Image As'.
vii) Do not change the name of the images, but save that image in the 'images' folder.
viii) Do it to all the hyperlinks, and then click on the .html files.
Yes, you're done. There is also a video on youtube that will explain the process- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B96_aLQCRnE.
Overall, BlueVoda is excellent!

"Unreliable Server, Bad Customer Support"
Version: BlueVoda Website Builder 11.0
Pros
Drag and drop capability made it easy to design our website.
Cons
Although our website looks nice, it is not up on the web. Our 200 page website has been down for the most of the last seven days and much of the last month! They have no tech support available by phone... just one line auto responses.
Summary
Not worth the risk of having your website out of commission for days and weeks at a time.

"Do not use Bluevoda be warned!"
Version: BlueVoda Website Builder 11.0
Pros
None, as I never had the chance to use BV because of the lack of support.
Cons
Paid $99 and tried to transfer my domain name to BV to host my site, 3 months later still no joy, EPP key correct (ICANN//ENOM) but BV can't resolve!
Summary
On the surface BV looks good for the budding web builder but support is incopetent with no real understanding of individual issues, a lot of automated responses which direct you to a equally usless fourm. My personal view...Dont go there.
