For this article we researched 4      Below is a table we have built    
products, SwSoft's SiteBuilder,       comparing the costs and           
SiteGalore, SiteReptile, and RV       functionality of the 4 products.  
StieBuilder. In general, by size,     We recommend Swsoft's SiteBuilder 
costs, and features, SiteGalore       first for it's overall features   
is the largest, then SiteBuilder,     and low cost. If you need cPanel  
followed by SiteReptile and RV        integration then SiteReptile is   
SiteBuilder. We were disappointed     your best choice. RV sitebuilder  
with the response and website         is a new product and is still     
from SiteGalore. They did not         lacking some key functionality.   
offer prices or a demo on their                                         
website. They require a form to       SwSoft's SiteBuilder              
be filled out to request each of      Price - $19.90/month($199 onetime 
these, which we did, and have         fee) 100 websites                 
still not heard back after 3          Control Panel - Plesk             
days. All of the other sites have     Templates - 300+ templates        
prices and demos right on their       Pre-Built Functionality - photo   
website. So, even though,             gallery, e-shop, PayPal, blogs,   
SiteGalore is the largest we do       voting                            
not recommend them. We have found                                       
that value propostion means a lot     SiteGalore                        
in a business relationship. If        Prices - Not online. No reply     
you are one small customer to a       after 2 days                      
large company then what kind of       Control Panel - None              
attention will they give you? If      Templates - 900+ designs, 15,000+ 
a site cannot be responsive when      templates, flash intros           
they are trying to sell you their     Pre-Built Functionailty - photo   
product don't expect it when you      album, blog, online shop,         
need support.                         customized forms                  



                                      There are many more products on   
SiteReptile                           the market and this just 4 of     
Price - $9.95/month($159 onetime      them. We tried to pick 2 large    
fee) 100 websites, your brand         ones, a medium one, and a small   
Control Panel - cPanel, Plesk,        startup. All of these products    
Ensim, DirectAdmin                    will add functionality to attract 
Templates - 100+ templates            the beginner website builder to   
Pre-Built Functionality - news,       your hosting plans. This will be  
polling, photo album                  well worth the monthly or one     
                                      time license fee that they        
RV SiteBuilder                        charge. The fees are relatively   
Price - $6/month unlimited, your      low compared to the functionality 
brand                                 added to your company. We         
Control Panel - cPanel                recommend all personal web        
Templates - 50+ templates             hosting and budget web hosting    
Pre-Built Functionality - page        companies add a website builder   
effects, guestbook                    tool to their business.
