Very easy to use, great for beginners, but with some very minor limitations for more advanced users
POSITIVES - Webstarts is a simple, easy to use platform. Anyone can master the very user-friendly drop and drag format, without any experience or advanced technical ability. It's also very affordable, which is great for anyone starting out! NEGATIVES - I have experienced a couple of minor technical glitches along the way. For example, when I return to edit the site, some fonts and layouts have 'magically' changed etc. I have experienced a few too many emails from the company trying to upsell. I have, to date, been unable to integrate Google Analytics with my Webstarts site (to track it's performance), as the platform does not give 'back end' access to the appropriate coding 'tags' for me to do so. Happy for someone to correct me on this if I'm wrong, or to let me know if this has been upgraded. There is a Webstarts stats functionality which is supposed to serve a similar function, but I have been told by professionals that Google Analytics is far superior, and I would rather use that. It also seems there are some limitations when attempting to professionally SEO the site for higher google rankings, due to the same issue.
