SnackWebsites? What a fun name. Of COURSE I’m going to review them.
Initial impression? You know, it looks very promising. The site’s design is clean and I know right off the bat that they are mobile/responsive and Google conscious. I see an example of one of their sites on the home page and I get the impression that the rest of my experience gathering my information for this review will be easy.
Industry Specific?
SnackWebsites puts a bit of an emphasis on musician websites, but they serve all industries, like most other website builder tools.
Pricing
Gah!
These folks looked sooooo promising at first glance. But I got so frustrated trying to find their pricing that I ended up on YouTube watching The Duck Song. Seriously. That just happened.
So… Back to this pricing thing. It’s kind of important, ya’ know? I am very interested in such things because I would hate to tell you something was uber awesome only to find out you have to re-mortgage your house or, worse yet, it doesn’t have blogging features.
You can create a website with SnackWebsites for free. Yes, free. But the problem is you can’t publish it for free. You either have to pay for their Premium Membership ($16.00/month) or you have to buy credits as you go. So how much is it to publish the site? I STILL DON’T KNOW after digging, and digging, and looking for grapes, and digging. Really guys?
So they have apps and each app cost credits. How much for each app? Who knows. You’re just supposed to trust them because. Because why? Because they hope you will just trust them, that’s why. This is ridiculous, and I am not making this up. Really, check it out at their points page.
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 mobile friendly. Their websites are responsive.
In What Browser Does the Website Builder Work?
As far as I can tell, it works in the most current browser versions.
Search Engine Optimization?
I don’t know. They aren’t into sharing much about their tool until you create an account.
Blog Features?
Can’t tell. There’s no features page and their example sites are loading in record slow time, so I lost my patience.
Ease of Use
Who knows. There’s only a promise of ease of use. There’s no demo. Shocked?
Use Your Own URL?
Yes.
My Initial Impression
Do you have to ask?
Right, so since you asked, SnackWebsites looks shiny and awesome. However, they have the weirdest pricing system I have heard of and they don’t have the features of their tool laid out nice and neat, like almost EVERYONE ELSE. If you decide to go with them knowing what I know about them (which is almost nothing after spending 40 minutes trying to find out the details), you are sillier than they are.
