Reviews Comparing UltimateWB to Other Website Builders
The software is working great, I am very happy with it. I already like it more than Dreamweaver and it totally blows Weebly out of the water.
The software is really nice. It's way more convenient than Dreamweaver for making a full site. It also makes it really easy for slideshows. It's a lot easier to manage things.
I got used to using XSite Pro but can see that your software is in a different league with many more features!
I have never written a review or provided a testimonial for many reasons. Maybe the main reason is because I just don’t feel passionate about a company or product either positively or negatively. Most stuff is just meh…neutral.
Ultimatewb on the other hand is a fantastic company. The product and service is exceptional. Their service is attentive, prompt, caring and considerate, and I feel as if I am part of their family. The product is very comprehensive, flexible (multiple possibilities), fluid, and fresh (offers many things other companies don't). Even still, they add features without fees and help you utilize it (If you can dream it, you can find a way to do it on their website. And if you can’t figure it out, they will help or add that feature.). There is no nickeling and diming, and stuffing product down your throat and two faced service like a company that loves to advertise at Superbowls.
Most importantly, when I represent my product/ service on a website out there, and it carries the Powered by Ultimatewb, I have to be certain that Ultimatewb represents my company as well. Ultimatewb reflects the responsibility, compassion, connectivity, humanity, service and integrity that I hope to see in my company.
In some years now dealing with developers, we have found that your responses are very prompt and agreeable and is so far the best relationship we experienced in terms of support.
