Pro
Sandvox is quite intuitive and your ready to go nearly out of the box. If you find the right template you set up your webpage in no time. In case of any difficulty their support via the dedicated forums is very fast and exhaustive.
There are some features included which help tremendously to build a professional looking internet presence: the email contact page for example.
Con
The templates are very restrictive and it is tremendously difficault to obtain what you want if you don’t find a template which allows you to do just that.
So it is a question of what you are looking for:
- a quick set up for a nice page whitout much fuss for a reasonable price; Sandvox might just be what your looking for / rating 4
- a program which let’s you do exactly what you want in exactly the way you want: you’ll have to look elsewhere / rating 3
