Hi,

I have just been given this software and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it? It says I need a FTP server to publish it and I don't know if it's worth the hassle or I should just get a webhost with it's own web builder?

Any imput would be much appreciated.

The big thing to watch out for is the quality of the code behind the pages it produces. I know MAGIX's movie software has been decent quality, not sure how their web software is.

One thing to note, current version is 8, that one looks to be at least 3 years old.

Have it generate a sample page to view on your own browser, do VIEW->SOURCE on that page to get the code, then copy and paste it all into

http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input to see how it rates the code.
