Website Builder: There are no shortage of fancy website builders available to help you launch your site. Some stand out among others. Intuit's integrated website builder has a proven track record for being inexpensive and easy to use. It's no wonder that every year it ranks as one of the most popular website builders available. The Intuit web builder offers a number of services tailored to customers who need to build a website for their business.
Ease of Use
The stated goal of website builders is that they eliminate the hassle and time involved in building a traditional website the manual way. Still, many web builders can overly complicate things. The Intuit web builder is well known for its simplicity. You can literally have your website up, running, and fully functional in just a matter of minutes. Even a website novice can navigate the templates, which are organized into easily identifiable categories.
Template Selection
Many website builders offer templates that may be fine for personal use but would not work for a professional, business website. Intuit's website builder provides more than 2,000 designs in a wide array of template choices that are custom designed to suit your business needs. Beyond the design, what's most impressive about Intuit's templates is that they contain pre-loaded business text that you can adapt to fit your company. Pre-written text takes the guess work out of formulating your site's content and gives you a guideline on what is and isn't professional business writing.
Design Elements
Intuit's website builder includes a free library of 250,000 images you can use in the layout of your website. Stock photography is normally very expensive and out of range for many businesses. This feature alone puts Intuit's website builder ahead of the pack. If there are no templates that are a perfect fit, use Intuit's built in editor to make changes your site's template. No formal web design training necessary.
Integrate Social Applications
Easily link your website to popular social networking applications like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace from within Intuit's builder.
One-Click Publishing
Because Intuit hosts your site, you are able to publish your website with only one click. No tricky accessing ftp sites or expert html knowledge is necessary. Simply login to the SiteBuilder, customize your templates, content and graphics (or utilize one of the stand alone templates), preview your work, and click "publish." You can edit and make changes to your website at any time by accessing the SiteBuilder and the changes will be reflected on your site in real time.
Free, Live Advice
Intuit provides users with expert Web Advisers seven days a week. They are specialists whose only job is to assist people who have questions or difficulties using the SiteBuilder. They can suggest tips, walk you through using the SiteBuilder and troubleshoot any problems.
Affordable Pricing
Intuit's pricing model is simple: the first 30 days are completely free as a trial and after that it's $4.99 a month. That averages out to less than $60 a year for a fully hosted, fully functional website. It doesn't get much more economical than that.
