I really like it so far
I just started working with Blue Voda and few days ago and think its' awesome so far. I think they should offer it as a standalone program. I'd be willing to pay for it. They only offer one hosting option which to me doesn't seem to offer enough space and bandwidth for what I'm looking for.
Otherwise this is much easier than my outdated FrontPage 2000. I could probably build my entire website in a day with this program.

DAMN
I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROGRAM
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO BE ABLE TO PUT MY SITE ON THE WEB
NOBODY SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM
IT'S AWFUL!!!

This is terrible
Though it MAY be good for website building, I do NOT suggest this program.
They make you download it, make you work hard to build a good website, and then when you're done, you cannot save as html, but instead, they want you to sign up for an account on their site! There is no other way to put your site on the internet unless you are willing to spend at LEAST 10$ a month.
This is outrageous, and I do not think that anyone should use this program.
0/5

Easy , nice tutorials , user friendly. I highly recommend it!!!
This is a drag and drop website builder easy to use; you can design your template without knowing how to use tables!!!! When I had any questions the forum and the tutorials helped me immediately. I really enjoy website building with this site builder even though I am very new. I am happy do not have to use a complicated html editor anymore.

Negative Experience
Great program, but same experience as negative reviews below - they LIE about having ANY customer service, refuse to call me despite multiple email requests for a phone call and only reply back with sarcastic rude responses or "moving to supervisor" and then never move anything to anyone. This is my second host I've worked with in an attempt to publish this site, I'm so sick of this.

Where has this been hiding?!
I just downloaded the free Blue Voda program and I'm immediatly in love with it. I've been building websites since I was 14 (I'm 19 now) and I have never been able to build websites like this before. They're easy, colourful, modern, and better then what I've created before. I've even discovered that if you just change the files to .html you can upload the files on any FTP server. This is just amazing.

I love this program.
This is probably the best free program I have ever seen or used in my life. It has a lot of the same features as the Windows Interface. Its certainly worth the download!

Web Builder
Makes creating websites a breeze. However the problem is that you are restricted to using their web hosting. I wish that they could just sell this program outright. I would definately buy it.

Abysmal customer service
I recently started a site with Blue Voda and had problems publishing. I know if I could have gotten 5minutes of live chat or phone support, we could have solved the problem (probably some Alzheimers' lapse on my part) and I wouldn't be here.
I experienced first hand what JT did. They boast 24/7/365 support, but when I sent a post to the forum, saying I was dissapointed with the lack of live support, my post was yanked and I was banned for life from their forum, for being negative.
A further email said they don't accept people "venting" and if I promised to behave, they would let me back on their military style forum hierarchy. No thanks, I can't recommend this site despite their pluses. Is this the "New Age" of customer service? Refusing to listen to any customer that has a complaint?

You dont have to use Blue Voda publishing
I to thought Blue Voda was the software to use until I found that I had to use their hosting in order to publish the page. Then I took a closer look and when ever I hit preview in browser I noticed that the information was coming from a local link. Looking at the address bar I saw that the page was coming from
C:\Documents and Settings\WINXP\Local Settings\Temp\preview\preview.html
So I went there and all the stuff was right there. I just renamed the preview.html to index.html then ftp all related files to my hosting company. Worked like a charm, now when ever I build a new website I just clear the temp folder and build away.

Best Open source out there
I have tried it, and I think it works alot better than anything I've ever worked with that is free. I even works better than geocities. Only thing I'd improve on is the drop feature, which is great for people with average computer literacy, but it needs features so that more advanced builders can set up the site so the objects respond to the browser.

Simply Amazing!
I have been using website builders for years. I went all over the net trying to find tutorials on how to create those colorful frames or tables like excite, yahoo website builder, and other sites have that they input their news or links into. NO-SITE could tell me how to do it. My own arsenal of purchased software could not make it any easier for me. Then I came Across Little Blue Voda website builder. Sheer shock came across my face as I began to use this program and found that it could create beautiful image free websites with the colorful frames I liked in as little as one hour. One thing that stands out over any other piece of software I have used is the ability to freely create boxes or objects that the program doesn't turn into images that have to load. - almost like drawing your website out. I created a search engine for my city and it loads in under 5 seconds flat with links, weather reports, updated news and a few images. BlueVoda simply must be used to be truly appreciated. With every button press I was amazed at how easy it was to add any and everything I was trying to incorporate. If this program was a trial with a $300 dollar sticker I would buy it! Nuff Said! - BlueVoda crushes all the competition with freeware ease. If you are even thinking of purchasing software - forget it, BlueVoda has it.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
When you go to publish that's where it basically falls apart. You have to use BlueVoda and they have NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. The only interface you have is over the internet and you can be getting advice from anyone. Good idea ~ Poor Execution. When I tried to email for customer support they started insulting me.
These are actual responses cut from their email to me: You are very correct we are in the USA now and you can take a hike. You’re acting like a French man
How raciest!
I’d never use a service that treated it’s customers like they were unimportant.
