BEFORE & AFTER – SiteBuilder3 helps to transform small business websites

Littlethunder on June 28, 2012

Thank goodness I tried Sitebuilder on a secondary site.I attempted to give the page a slightly new look without giving up the feel of the original page. I guess I messed up along the way. My bad I guess. One thing I am glad I did was create my table using Microsoft Front Page 2002 which helped out quite a bit as all I had to do was a cut and paste.

I for one would not mind using Sitebuilder on my main page @ http://www.thunderdomeministries.net but there is to much to lose if I mess-up again. And I like the feel I get using Front Page table creator.
Any suggestions?

I really love the new sitebuilder. We have been wanting to change the look on our Church website, but we didn’t find anything that we liked. Well that is until now. It gives you more options on buiding the pages just how you want them. Since we like this one, does this mean that we can keep it instead of going back to the old look.

I do not like the SiteBuilder due to the absencese of widgets and games and I have also found that the new SiteBuilder has not been at all popular amongst us. For instance, go to the help on the original sitebuilder and look up, “Adding Widgets With SiteBuilder Three” You should find a posts that shows what we REALLY feel.

I wish I could get SB2 back, SB 3 is awful. My sidebar has disappeared, content boxes are not called that anymore.

    @Felicity: We do provide users with a 7 day window during which they can revert back to SB2.

1st Its rather sad when someone writes in your guestbook “Your website sucks use Site Builder” So you take a second and thrid look at it. Then it downs on you the following.
2nd. You don’t want to mess with you lead website thats his rated high in 3 different search engines. Why? Because you could screw it up like you did http://tdmdirectory.webs.com/
3rd MAYBE http://www.thunderdomeministries.net needs a makeover but “Site Builder?” as an editor?I

TO do a makeover of the main site is dangerous. Let alone much at stake.

Would it be possible to fully explain the back up procedure and restoration of SB database. I’ve cancelled my service with my dedicated server provider and need to migrate the SB users and sites over. I’ve read everything I could find but cannot find anything about how to backup the SB database and restore it on the new server. http://kb.parallels.com/en/5512 I get to 3. 3. Migrate Sitebuilder database sitebuilder3 to new server. You may get name of Sitebuilder database using utility sb_config: ~# sb_config –help | grep sb_db_name –sb_db_name Sitebuilder database name [sitebuilder3] ~# But there is nothing to describe this process. Since it takes quite a long time to get a response in this forum can you please simply explain in very simple terms what needs to be moved to the new server and how. Thanks a million.

    Hi there, sorry not sure what you mean by switching of sidebars. Are you asking about the location of sidebar manager?

I love the new builder! It seems a little buggy to me when typing or adding text, not sure if it is Internet explorer 9? Should I use a different bowser? Also if I switch upgrade one of my sites to the new B3 and leave all keywords and and text the same do I risk losing my google ranking?

Thanks

    @Benny: SiteBuilder switch will not impact your ranking as you are changing the tool and not the content of your site. We recommend you using either Chrome or FireFox browsers.

Thanks to SB3, I can’t make my site look good using CSS anymore. Why did you remove it? Will it come back? Please respond. I like SB3, I just miss CSS.
