Today’s website builder tool review is of Breezi, a tool that promises it can make “60 billion unique designs.” Really?
Industry Specific?
No. Like the other site builders I have reviewed so far, their designs can work in any industry. Unlike the other builders, this tool, their “designbot” claims to get you to your ideal design by asking you questions and presenting you with website designs and solutions based on your feedback. They promise good design for those of us who like design but have no design skills. Interesting.
Pricing
Breezi appears to be into being mysterious. Their “designbot” is intriguing and their initial home page design is dark with little buttons to click and not much in the way of direction, just the bare minimum they think you need to get yourself going. And so goes their pricing policy. I am rolling up my sleeves and digging around website builder sites so you don’t have to, but seriously, I had to DIG to find out their pricing. They clearly label that you can sign up for free, but that’s it. I finally found a super itsy bitsy subtle gray-text button in the upper-right corner of their home page… And it is called “info.”
When one rolls over “info” they get a drop-down menu. Guess what? No “pricing” option. Umm, what? Is it in the footer? Nope. So I relent and go to Q&A. From there I am not directed to a simple FAQ page. I am directed to a forum. I am open to this so long as I get my answer. But do I? No. I am told to go back to the home page and go to Features (which is in the hard-to-spot “info” drop-down menu). Sigh.
I scroll through the ENTIRE Features page and finally, at the end of a very long, slow-loading, page, I find my answer. (It was slow loading because I was at a cafe while writing this and on their wi-fi.)
The answer? Breezi is $12.00 a month. Is there a free account? Not sure. But for $12.00 a month, one gets usage of all of their features.
Would you like some free help preparing for your site? Cool. Here’s a free download I created just for you.
Mobile?
Yes! They are crystal clear that their designs are mobile responsive.
In What Browser Does the Website Builder Work?
Do you think this information is on their site? Right.
Search Engine Optimization?
Somehow (not sure exactly how) I found myself on a page that clearly spells out Breezi’s features. It’s another features page, but not the “features” page that you get access to from the home page. Gah!
Anyway, yes, you have some really nice SEO options. (Happy dance)
You can put in your own custom meta tags. You can put in whatever analytics tracker code as well. You can control your pages’ URLs. Yes.
Blog Features?
Breezi has what it calls an Apps. One of the apps is a blogging app. So by default there isn’t a blogging app, but once you pay the $12.00 a month, you can have access to all of the apps.
Ease of Use
What do you think I am going to say here? I bet you’re right.

You can use your own URL.
My Initial Impression
Oh man, this started out with such promise. But if I have a hard time finding just this little bit of basic information, I have a lot of concerns about what their software is like to use and understand. I know, it could’ve been fabulous, but I just don’t think I have the patience to dig any further.
