After the initial trial of the Ipk Web Site Builder I have decided not to continue with the Software.
Although the Ipk Web Site Builder is an excellent and well thought out piece of software I decided that the benefits I wanted to try, namely the Price Comparison part of the Software did not balance with the Software’s other shortfalls.
In reality the Software is just too restrictive, in that it allows you to insert only one Amazon Widget (the Self Optimising one).
I like to use several Amazon Widgets on most of my pages including Carousels (Take a look at one here) which I find lots of people like, (and actually click on) this is not possible with the Ipk Web Site Builder, although I did manage to integrate an Amazon store into the 360 Xbox site that I built.
Another obvious disadvantage is that you cannot see or change the source code. This is because the code is written in BB Code and this is converted to Html Code when you publish the site.
The Html code and graphics cannot be uploaded back to your computers Html Editor, this makes transferring your sites onto another server impossible and moving my 360 Xbox site was a pain in the rear as I had to copy and paste everything from Ipk Web Site Builder to my own Html Editor (Dreamweaver).
In conclusion I found that the Ipk Web Site Builder software needs to have a lot of work done to it before it becomes a viable option for all except the complete Html novice.
Best from Ken.
