Basekit Website Builder Review

When it comes to creating a website, not all of us can afford a web designer right away. If you don’t get a custom site done you have two options. One is you can buy a theme, which you will still need to edit using Dreamweaver or a similar program or you can use an online website builder.

I recently had the chance to test out the beta version of one of the leading website builders Basekit and was pleasantly surprised with how far online site builders have come. The full version will be live on the 5th of September 2011. Within seconds I had my website layout in front of me ready to edit using their simple editor.

Once you have picked a template you can start editing text, images and placement of objects on your site right away. All you have to do is double click to change something and the handy lock features keeps many elements locked so you don’t mess things up by accident as you edit.

You can add everything a typical website has including text, pages, header, logo, forms, widgets, images and even social gadgets such as Twitter, RSS, and Facebook. All Basekit plans come with hosting so all you need is a domain name which you can register on your own or get when you signup.

The Basekit web design software can handle all your needs including e-commerce and even with the monthly pricing, you will save a lot of money being able to edit sites yourself instead of having to pay a web designer. If you want a great looking site at a fraction of the cost, Basekit is for you.
