The short, unbiased reviews given here are are based solely on this reviewer's limited experience with each of the programs featured on this website. (Software is listed alphabetically for easier reference)
Easy Website Pro by PhotonFX
This program provides a bit more latitude for the designer in that there is some customization allowed. Although the basic template can't be changed, you can add a different layout to it and choose a different color scheme as well as specific objects like logos, buttons, sounds, etc.
The Content Page takes you to a visual editor where you can import and resize images and add your text. The basic text editing tools are available to change font types, sizes and colors. Easy Website Pro allows you to import flash movies and media player files here, too. If you want, you can click the tab that says HTML Code and actually edit the code or insert new code directly. There are no graphics creation or graphics editing tools, but that's to be expected, since more tools means more complex. The program is aimed at those with little or no website experience.
The Intro section allows you to choose a flash intro page if you want, or you can turn the flash effect off. The Extras section has some nice options such as choosing colored scrollbars, adding custom scripts and meta tag information, and adding a guestbook or inquiry form. Lastly, you can publish the finished website directly to your web host's server.
The program isn't difficult to use, but does require just a little patience at first. There is a helpful tutorial included to get you started. All-in-all, this is an attractive, well thought out software program that produces great looking web sites.

Web Page Maker by Web Page Maker Software
This is a nice little WYSIWYG editor. It has lots of features including a true text editor with spellchecker, a good choice of editable navigation bars, javascript extras, drawing tools, gradient effects, forms creation, templates, page transition effects, page centering, and on and on.
It's easy-to-use, with a clean, simple interface. You can drag and drop objects onto the work area, making it easy to start from scratch. Web Page Maker can create entire websites - just keep adding pages with the "add page" command. The page editor accepts the meta title, description and keywords as any program worth its weight should.
It has many options, like the javascript snippets and pre-made navigation bars with buttons that can save a designer time, rather than creating their own or searching the web for something they want.
The program seems to be aimed at those looking for an easy-to-use website builder, but who also want the option of controlling the design process. The program is fun and simple to use, and while it may lack a few slightly more sophisticated features, it still has plenty of options for most users to turn out top-notch web pages. I definitely give it two thumbs up.

Web Easy Professional 8 by Avanquest
The latest offering from Avanquest (a producer of some fine utilities, too) is well done. Some bugs were fixed from previous versions and the program seems to be, for the most part, more intuitive despite the added features in this version. Users seemed to have a love / hate relationship with older versions of the software, as some of the functions were quirky and didn't work as well as they should. That doesn't seem to be the case this time around.
The software comes with an interactive tutorial to help you get going, plus drag and drop capabilities make it simple to add images, text, etc. to your website. Web Easy also comes with "assistants" to help you along the way.
Web Easy Professional 8 includes some very nice effects that can enhance the viewing experience for your visitors, and also has built-in e-commerce tools, a large assortment of pre-designed templates and the ability to more easily integrate your favorite websites and services directly into your own site. It even includes some SEO features that are helpful in getting your website "found" in the search engines.
The program has a lot to offer anyone looking to put together their own website. Give it a try!
