 Poor customer experience June 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have to say that I was initially recommended this product by a 3rd party and for the purposes that it was needed for seemed to make sense.
I created the site that I needed, wasn't the easiest user experience I have to say.
The issues started when I tried to edit the pages that I had created. Mr Site support was not particularly helpful and to be honest were at times quite patronising and full of excuses. The main problem was that although the site was up, attempting to edit the pages was impossible because the content was blank. This happeded on more than one occassion.
After 12 months of to-ing an fro-ing with them, my patience with the inflexibility of the product, the lack of proper customer service etc led me to move to another hosting partner who seemed to exhibit the sort of professionalism that you would expect from people taking your money.
We are currently in the process of attempting to rectify our final issue with Mr Site relating to a secondary domain transfer. Their support guys are uncommunicative, unhelpful and do not deliver on the promises that they make.
Do the best that you can and steer well clear of these guys.

i was not very happy with this site,my files and photos kept appearing and then disappearing for no reason at all.i was not given a reason for this,
needless to say it was my fault.
i did not even manage to finish my site because of this problem which kept occuring.i have asked for my money back,we,ll see if that is forthcoming.
yours

This has to be the most infuriating software I've ever used. I have to warn you that this program is filled with bugs, if you want to do anything other than simple blogging or like me, are indecisive and will want to change the background regularily, be warned! Sometimes fonts dont work, currently some of my text refuses to change size for no reason at all and if you EVER edit ANY of the text on a gallery page that is not part of the gallery, say the introduction explaining what the gallery is of, then it forgets all your pictures have titles and they disappear. You have the option of showing pictures in three types of ways, one is plain ugly and of the other two one won't allow any text to be under your images. There also isn't a spellcheck, which seems like an obvious thing to have to me?
These I promise are just a few of the most annoying problems with what is a really good idea. I have emailed their own program bug catcher but have recieved nothing but the crudest of responses... "have you tried changing the size of the font?".. Of course I have. I have built websites before from scratch in much more complex programs than this, these aren't my stupid mistakes and I'm not alone in finding them.
Arghhhh!
 Cheap - but limited April 21, 2008

If you're looking for something that doesn't cost the earth but delivers a decent looking website then this is the package for you. I've only rated it 3 stars as functionality is limited.
Firstly, you have to have a menu down the side of your page, this shows on every page you have on your site. I wanted a different menu on one page but you can't do this - also you can't have a sub-menu on a sub-menu.
Also, if you decide you want your pages in a different order the 'shuffle' functionality is a nightmare. I'm still not 100% sure how it works and spent most of a day shuffling pages around. When I eventually got the pages in the sort of order I wanted I found that the hyperlinks in them weren't carried over - so basically the hyperlinks now pointed to the wrong pages. Very frustrating.
Additionally, the header creation page always locks up on me, both on my Mac and my PC.
The email package is OK, not great functionality and not much space but it does the job. At the end of the day you can forward emails onto your own mail package and they have a tutorial to show you how to do this.
All that said I've still managed to create a semi professional looking site and it is easy to understand. The book that accompanies the pack and the tutorials on YouTube are helpful. If you're new to creating websites and you want something cheap and easy then I would recommend this.
Very good - and easy to use April 12, 2008

I bought Mr site around 3 months ago and I have never had any problems with it. Compared to other providers mrsite is exellent value for money, and with all of the features (such as flash slideshows & Photo editing) it beats most other providers on features alone.
The only problem I have found with the software is HTML coding which sometimes may not work once you have edited the page it has been inserted in.
