Build a Professional website in 3 easy steps:

Sounds like spam.

  It says
  
  Build a Professional website in 3 easy steps:
  1.Select Design
  2.Customize
  3.Click Upload
  
  It is a DIY website builder.
  
  There is a website link to the company where there is a contact no (1300 782 762) and ABN. FortuneX Technilogies Pty Ltd(ABN 12 143 573 513)
  
  It is a genuine deal with 30 DAYS MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
  
  The same deal is on local SmartSaver.com.au papers as well which gets delivered tomorrow (18/08/2013).Here is the link to the coupon on SmartSaver.com.au website - http://smartsaver.com.au/?p=74676
  
  What sounded like a SPAM in that?

    If you need to mention "genuine deal"
    Its probably not a deal.
    
    Same goes for pyramid scams,
    If they say its not a pyramid scam, Its probably a pyramid scam
    
    Also fine print catch, "additional hours will billed on top @ $45/hr"
    - AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 17/08/2013 - 16:30
      
      We are not here to change your mind about scams or argue about anything.
      
      We are here to offer a deal for people looking for a website can grab a bargain and get a great and professional looking website. It is a great deal for people looking for cheap website and are willing to try the DIY process.
      
      Additional hours will be billed @45/per hour only if people decide not to complete the process themselves and instead want us to build it for them. If we spend few hours building the website for them, its only fair that we get paid for it and I am sure you will not work for anyone without pay.
      
      That does not mean it is a scam.

Also FYI, Done some research, They are just resellers for ventraip.com.au. Which by the looks have some awful reviews and comments on whirlpool.

  Thank you for doing some research on our company and bringing out the fact which shows that we are a Registered Australian Company.
  
  Yes, we are resellers for VentraIP which is a big company like Telstra. Virgin Mobile, Dodo are big companies but are reseller of Optus
  
  Telstra, Optus are the largest telecommunication companies in Australia but have a lot more awful reviews on whirlpool. Does that mean they are running scams?
  
  Only people who are not happy with the services normally go to forums to vent out their frustrations. Normally this is only a fraction of clients a big company like Telstra or VentraIP will have. People or Customers who are happy with the service unfortunately don't go on forums to mention how happy they are.

I have a website hosted on Ventra, they are one of the cheapest but haven't had any problems with it. They are also one of the biggest providers.

Seems like this could be a good deal for someone wanting a prebuilt website with limited support, much like wix.com etc but at a much cheaper rate.

Hi Rep

Fantastic deal! Can you add e-commerce facilities to the website for an extra charge? Incase someone wishes to sell products / services?
Cheers
- AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 17/08/2013 - 17:53

  Thank your for your enquiry. Yes, e-commerce facilities can be added. The web hosting allows you to add (install) some of the most commonly used free e-commerce stores (like oscommerce, magento etc) in few clicks.
  
  You can do it yourselves, or we can do it for you. Please email us here on ozbargain after you have purchased the deal or add a note during checkout process and We can send you the instructions on how to do this.
  
  We will provide you support throughout the process and If any stage if you want us to build it for you, we'll be more than happy to do it for you at a small additional charge.

meh, just buy direct from ventra or zuver and use cpanel to install a cms and then install a template and customize
- quirki on 17/08/2013 - 18:18
  
  yeah this just looks like a vanilla WHMCS setup.
- AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 17/08/2013 - 18:44
  
  This is not a CMS software with some templates or themes.
  
  This is a proper website builder software with over 1000 templates.

hanger7 on 17/08/2013 - 20:46

What a joke, yes over a 1,000 crap templates.

This is a great deal for anyone who wants a crap website that will not work for them. Anyone who wants a website that will work for them get a decent web developer WITH CHECKED REFERENCES to plan and deliver a website that will help you achieve your goals.

Yes by all means add crap e-commerce, by all means crap enewsletters…

Great Template or Wizard based websites are coming - but definitely not yet, not even close - these sites are years behind a professional $3-5k site (by the way how much did you waste on that Yellow Pages ad for 1 year?? about this same amount?)

  Dear hanger7,
  
  You haven't even checked the templates then how do you know they are crap templates or they are good?
  
  As mentioned above, this deal is for people who are looking for a professional and cheap website. Not every small business is able to afford to pay for custom built website.
  
  Our website builder offers great templates and we are confident enough to offer 30 days MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

    FXT, I agree with you, it does seem that every negative comment is from people that have not used your site. You will also note that Hanger7 has posted no deals and only made 2 comments in 2 whole years of being an OzBargainer.
    
    And to judge this against a $5000 website, well they are different products. Not sure if this really is the same market.
    
    Your money back guarantee is a good idea.
    If anyone does take this deal up, I hope they pass on their experiences to everyone, that way you can be judged on a tried and tested product.
    - AJW on 17/08/2013 - 22:40
      
      Hey, I haven't negged the deal, and I haven't said the product or seller is sh!t, but I disagree with the claims that 3 east steps will get you a professional website, and would warn potential buyers of the pitfalls.
      
      I have tried and tested the product, and disagree with the claims, and have posted my opinions as an ozbargainer. Please look back through my comments too, and see I have posted (what was hopefully) helpful comments more than twice :)
      
      Isn't it my right as an OzB to comment on products I have knowledge about?
    - deal88 on 17/08/2013 - 23:13
      
      AJW. Not sure if you comments were for me. I agree with you. Your comments have been constructive. My comments were for Hanger7.
    - pmupsinep on 18/08/2013 - 01:34
      
      You will also note that Hanger7 has posted no deals and only made 2 comments in 2 whole years of being an OzBargainer.
      
      What has this got to do with anything? Does this make his post less valuable, even if he has the experience or qualifications to back up what he's saying? At least his post offered an opinion on the offer where yours is just some feel good lines that don't help…
    - deal88 on 18/08/2013 - 09:56
      
      Hanger negged the deal with comments that where not based on experience with the product. (They have since removed their neg)
      
      You will notice the comments from AJW are also negative, but are based on experience and are a lot more constructive and useful for people reviewing this deal.
      
      You will notice I did not vote for this deal. I just have a problem with people being negative against first time posters when their comments are not constructive. The rep has done the right thing and tried to reply to comments.
      
      Anyone who has never posted, have not experienced the effect that negative comments have on people. There have been many people who have posted their first time deal and been destroyed by haters - comments that where not constructive. Result is they never post a deal again.
AJW on 17/08/2013 - 21:41

I would estimate over one quarter of my work comes from people learning the hard way about DIY site builders. I am sure the site builder would be useful for some basic sites, but comments regarding easy ecommerce and professional sites in 3 easy steps are misleading in my humble opinion. A cheap looking website portrays a bad impression just like a dirty or rundown shopfront would, but as always it is another example of "you get what you pay for"
- AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 17/08/2013 - 21:54
  
  Dear AJW,
  
  I'll just say similar thing as I have said above, You haven't even tested our Website Builder or the templates. Then how can you comment on the quality of the designs or the whole system itself.
  
  As mentioned above, this deal is for people who are looking for a professional website at a fraction of a price. Not every small business is able to afford to pay for custom built website.
  
  Our website builder offers great templates and we are confident enough to offer 30 days MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
  
  No dis-respect but it is clear from your comment that you are a web designer or developer yourself.

    No disrespect taken, but how the hell do you know if I have used your sitebuilder before???
    
    Yes, I have used the same system, yes, we used to resell through VentraIP, yes, it is probably RVSiteBuilder, same as all the Cpanel sites use, unless of course you have your own proprietary sitebuilder software? Yes, it has over 1000 templates (only used on 1,000,000,000 sites worldwide) - you can see them all here:
    http://tryout.rvglobalsoft.com/demotryoutwebsite/rvsindex.ph…
    
    Any other Cpanel hosting provider offering RVSiteBuilder and Installatron or softaculous will offer the same deal, but I'm not sure how many will charge extra for that service?
    
    Yes, I'm in the same profession, but as I said above, I wouldn't feed my clients bs and try to say this is a professional service.
    - deal88 on 17/08/2013 - 22:42
      
      Good reply AJW. My assumption is that people wanting a basic DIY website would not be the same people that are your clients. Or, people in your profession need to do a better job educating people about what they will get for their money.
      
      Same goes for most things - you get what you pay for.
    - quirki on 17/08/2013 - 23:03
      
      Why did you stop with VIP? They are pretty good imo, especially in the support area.
    - AJW on 17/08/2013 - 23:04
      
      Nobody wants a cheap looking website, but of course some can pay more than others. Those with budget constraints should not be mislead that this is an easy cheap way to get a professional site. The profession is muddled by offers like this, which leads to my favorite phone question 'how much is a website?'. The guy is offering a money back guarantee so people should try it themselves, but it isnt as easy as it sounds, nor is it as professional as claimed.
    - AJW on 17/08/2013 - 23:08
      
      There has been an influx of WHMCS / hosting wholesale system providers, and some companies offer the same api system as ventra but with better documentation and programming/implementation/customisation support without their annual fees. They are ok and I have nothing bad to say about them, but the powers that be chose another wholesale provider
    - quirki on 17/08/2013 - 23:25
      
      Can I ask who are you with? Pretty interested to see what they have to offer!

      Sorry not hear to steal business from others, and we dont have any deals that are ozb worthy :(
      If you can afford to have a site developed for you, take the time to speak to a few local developers who have been in business more than 5 minutes, and you will soon find those worthy or unworthy of your business. If you have severe budget constraints, you should try a service like this deal, but beware it isnt as easy or professional as it sounds. At least the 30 day money back offer will help if you find it isnt what you wanted…
    - AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 18/08/2013 - 00:07
      
      AJW,
      
      When I say that you have not used or tried our website builder, I mean you have not tested the product being offered here. We are a reseller with VentraIP and AustDomains. How do you know which product we are selling?
      
      You are entitled to leave your comments on any deal that is posted on OzBargain and the same goes to the poster to be able to reply. But it is better to ask questions and being 100% sure before leaving negative comments.
      
      Nothing personal but this is where the part of you working in the same industry comes in and creates doubts that you are doing this intentionally.
      
      You may have been a reseller for VentraIP and then for some reason decided to move to another company.
      
      We have seen Web-Developers or designers that rip off people all the time by giving them a template based website which is picked up from a site like template monster etc but is sold as a CUSTOM built website. That does not mean that we should leave the same feedback or form the same opinion for every designer.
      
      Like I have mentioned a few times above, this deal is for people who are looking for a website for their business at low cost.
      
      No one is being misled here, it is an easy site builder that we are offering and allows people to create professional websites in 3 easy steps.
      
      If we were not confident about the product, we would not offer the 30 day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
    - AssociatedFXT @ fortunex.com.au on 18/08/2013 - 00:10
      
      We also offer CUSTOM built websites and have a team of designers and developers.
      
      Our website shows some of our recent work (Custom Sites) and the feedbacks from our clients.

      Is it RVSiteBuilder or not? Easy question…or is there a demo, or do you expect people to just believe the website builder "allows people to create professional websites in 3 easy steps."
      
      TBH, I didn't need to post anything at all, I'm sure the intelligent among the OzB community will make there own minds up. In my opinion, the claims that a SiteBuilder is easy to use to produce a professional website in 3 easy steps are false. Please either post the name of the SiteBuilder software, or at least a demo, and I will post back here with my comments. Or at least tell us if it is RVSiteBuilder so I can say one way or another if I have used your software or not…
      
      You keep saying I haven't used the product, well just tell us all what it is. I have used VentraIP as a wholesaler and have no issues with their hosting, however I believe the claims about their sitebuilder software are exaggerated..I'm not sure how you can say I haven't used the product if you won't say what it is :)
      
      Yes, I'm posting because I work within this industry, not because you are a 'competitor' or because of any me vs you. I posted because I completely disagree with your claims about the sitebuilder part of your deal…

Dear AJW,

There is no demo and that is why there is the 30 day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

I believe you are right when you say " I'm sure the intelligent among the OzB community will make there own minds up".

In regards to how simple or hard the process is and if the websites are professional or not; we will let the customers decide themselves.

A simple fact is that if Site Builders were so bad and the designs were so bad the business offering them as service will not be in business any more but the fact is that Website Builders are reducing the cost of affording a website and are eliminating the need having to hire a web designer to do a website for a small business.

We are here to try and sell a product which comes with a 30 day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE and not to get into arguments.
- AJW on 18/08/2013 - 10:51

  So I am asking again, the question you keep avoiding, is it RVSiteBuilder? If so, why not tell everyone so they can also check FREE online demos before having to pay you to test? You might even find if the sitebuilder is as good as you claim, people will find more info online (as there is tons of info and support available for RVSB) and then make an informed decision. I really wouldn't want to buy a mystery product here, even if it was a 30 day money back guarantee, only to find it was the same product I could have researched before forking out my hard earned cash…
