3 stars
Version: SiteSpinner 2.7c
Pros: Easy to use - their freeware is basically the same thing, without all the bells & whistles.
Cons: resizing of pages in various browsers throws everything off. Pages are limited to 6000 pixels vertical.

"A breakthrough in ease of use"
Pros: Here's the deal. You need to design and build a website. There are lots of ways to build one, from hand-coding in HTML to FrontPage to Dreamweaver to Fusion to ...
Why is SiteSpinner so great? I'll try to give an analogy. Have you ever built an org chart in M/S Word? It's certainly possible, since one can create lines, boxes, and text in Word. But no one would do it, simply because Word is focused on text processing, not on free-form graphic manipulation. You'd probably use PowerPoint instead, right?
Well, the same thing goes for webpage authoring. You could use FrontPage, which is very Word-like (meaning: cumbersome). Or you could use SiteSpinner, which looks and feels much like Powerpoint. Want a box here? Done. Want some text over there? Done. Change something else? Done. It's that easy.
SiteSpinner is not limited to simple stuff. You can get as elaborate as you want, and can also insert chunks of HTML or Javascript code for special functions.
This is a very clever program, and a bargain for the price they charge. A dedicated forum is friendly and very useful, and questions are quickly answered by not only the authors but also by other users.
Cons: Nothing to speak of. Have I mentioned that it's really easy to use?

"One minor issue can't keep this brilliant software from 5 stars"
Pros: I've been using SiteSpinner over a year. This update is merely polish on an already spectacular program. It's quite simple - if you want to build a web site and don't know HTML very well - this is it. It's one of those rare programs that give you a solid, comfortable and confident feeling when you use it. No bugs, no issues, just powerful performance.
Cons: Issues if you want to edit the HTML directly. Minor issue at best, especially if you're launching a new site.
