Once you begin looking at adding advanced features to your site, Web Builder is not always intuitive for a beginner. Adding things like rollovers and popups will take a few tries and can get frustrating. If you are looking for a program to easily add these features, try ($50), another WYSIWYG website design program.

Specialized advanced features are where Web Builder outshines the competition: If you need the ability to build a CMS database, eCommerce site, or jQuery, Web Builder can help. There doesn't seem to be any advanced feature that Web Builder doesn't promise: Create a blog, design a form, add a captcha, collect donations, password protect your site; if you have the patience to figure out how.

Fortunately, Web Builder's online tutorials are very complete and include both written and some video instruction. Unfortunately, some of the instructions are incorrect or refer to a previous version of Web Builder: For example you cannot setup guide borders, rulers and grid through the Layout > Guide Settings menu, since that menu doesn't exist in WYSIWYG Web Builder 8.

WYSIWYG Web Builder is an extremely complete program for anyone seriously interested in web design. The UI is confusing, and it's hard to learn, but once you figure it out, you can put together very professional web pages with advanced features with relative ease, and of course WYSIWYG. For someone who's looking for more design help, or a real novice, Web Builder may not be the best choice, but if you're are technically adept (or willing to spend some time in the WYSIWYG help forum) Web Builder 8 is worth a look.
