Pros and cons of Web Site Builder for iOS - HTML webpage designer app for iPhone and iPad

Web Site Builder for iOS - HTML webpage designer app good for

Needs more features, simple pages only but real quick to do and hassle free.
Thank you for the perfect app, when I needed it most. I had to pull together a quick website yesterday, so I searched the App Store. I came across this one (fully functional and no subscription or extra charges) for only 5 bucks, and figured it was worth a try. Not only did it help me create a quick website, I found the tools incredibly useful and refined for such a new app. Sure, its not a full featured program such as youd find in a desktop app, but it did everything I needed it to do and more! Although it likely wont impress the professional web designers out there, I figure thats the point of making a simple app such as this for the rest of us...and it can only get better over time. I expect to keep using it to refine and enhance my site over time. The integration with Google Drive is a sweet bonus too...I didnt expect to use it, but so far, thats working perfectly for my need. This is the first review Ive ever written, so that tells you how impressed I am. In short, Im thrilled by the simplicity with which I was able to create a professional looking, functional web site with no hosting fees...thank you Wombatapps and Google! Dont let this one pass you by.
Very useful and easy to use web site builder. I got a lot more than I expected for such a low price. Great app. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be up and running in no time.

Some bad moments

I downloaded this app about a year ago, bought a domain name and was using the forwarding to Google Drive. Its always worked fantastic and has been 5 stars for the last year... However, a few weeks ago, Google forced me to change my password and now when I try to upload my website to Google Drive, it says "cannot connect to Google Drive." Therefore I cant update my website AT ALL. Im assuming thats because this app has my old google password.. Yet there is nowhere in this app, that I can find, where I can change my google drive settings. So Ive contacted customer support, no response. My next step was to purchase hosting and upload via FTP settings. So I did that, have all the correct ftp settings in, and I clicked "upload to ftp server" and it acted like it was uploading, then said "your site was successfully uploaded." So I go to my website, nothing. Its completely down. Again, I contacted customer service and, again, no response. This has been a huge waste of time, not to mention, I now have a fully created website that I have to go recreate on a different app. Zero help at all from customer service on this app.
dont waste your money. there is absolutely no costumercare from the developer.
Its more the price than anything. It doesnt live up to its description. It needs more flexibility and a better UI. $12. Not until theres much more will it come to being close to what Id hope for in a website design App.
Not sure what others are looking for. But I was able to build a very nice webpage with this app. Combine it with custom HTML code and you can be as creative as you want. This is a very good app for building webpages on your iPad.
In my humble opinion, it is a worthless app. More than building a web, it will build you a frustration. Just try to build your first page: it will give you a substantially limited page designs, limited amounts of fonts, and hard to move objects (can hardly move them around freely -will force it to a predetermined area, even if unlocked).To me, the whole app in inefficient from the start. And it is expensive in comparison to its performance.
I downloaded Web Page Builder so that I can make webpages and blogs on the Ipad while Im traveling and away from my Mac computer (use Dreamweaver and IWeb at home). There are only a couple of web page builders out there and this is a new one. Its a bit strange at first (isnt everything Ipad?) but when you get the hang of the application you can make webpages, blogs and photopages without much difficulty that will satisfy most casual users. (If you were to make a complicated webpage then use a real computer and not an Ipad.) I have my own domain name and server so I upload using the FTP feature. So far Ive made a few pages and uploaded them without difficulty. They look presentable, orderly and have all the information I wish to put on the page. There are a few features I feel are needed to make this a really nice Ipad quick webpage builder on the go. I sent in a couple of suggestions to the developer and received a response the same day. This is a new application with an affordable price. I feel that with the good support Ive experienced it will only get better with time and updates. Im happy I purchased it. Now,,, If those feature requests I submitted are added Ill love it. As it stands now Ill give it 3 stars waiting for upgrades to make it a 4 and then 5 star application.
