I found difficult to used at first but I can manage it! Never got any help from them but after 2 years paying and unable to used or publish I cancel my account on November 2016. But they still taking payment until today 11 April 2017 without permission as I cancel the account 5 months ago. This causes me lots of problems with the bank and now I have fees to pay for the overdrawn from the payments taking without permission and close the bank account to stop them taking more. I forced to report this situation to Police internet fraud to stop this abuse. I still waiting for refund probably for the rest of my life. Horrendous

I just sign up for Create a few days ago and supposedly my site should've been published 2 days ago. No such things. Wrote 3 messages to support in 2 days - silence. Forum area is down as well. Great idea and easy to use website, but execution is just bad! So far I'm am paying for nothing!

Initially very frustrating and difficult to use. The design interface never matched what would actually be published on screen. But 8 years ago there was little choice and I persevered. I have been a loyal customer for 8+ years and suddenly they decide to hike the price per month by 100%, and try and persuade me that this is justified because they are now able to offer a load more tools, tools that I do not actually need. This spurred me to look around and I realised you can get a much better website produced with better templates and design tools for a lot cheaper. So avoid create.net, you never know if they'll suddenly hike the price by 100%! They do not take account of your actual needs and hike the price anyway, and there are much better more professional tools and templates that you can use more cheaply on other website builders. Save yourself the frustration and AVOID.

If you have no experience with web design at all, this might be ok for you. The slideshow works terribly with an awful glitchy animation. Place a picture on your site, it gets slapped in the middle and there is no options to move it anywhere.

I have been a Create customer now for many many years, and currently have three websites with them. The team are always bringing new items to the development to make the product even better. Yes there are areas that might not work the way you want it to work, but having looked around there is not one from another supplier that does everything you want it to do. The customer support is excellent and a forum that has some great help from other users. Keep up the good work Create

I've been happily using Create for over 4 years, having switched from another host. It's very easy to set up a website with an integrated shop and your own domain name. If you get stuck or need some advice or feedback you have your own account manager and the forum is friendly and helpful too. I'd definitely recommend Create :)

Positives: Start from scratch system - buy and register your domain name/url all in one place, or you can transfer an existing website/business. Choice of package options for small or large business owners. Anyone with basic html skills can use it. Easy WYSWYG to handle/manipulate when adding text & images. Choice of templates. You can go simple or complicated. For those with more css and html knowledge you can build your own templates. Customer Support is polite & friendly and although there is no telephone support offered, I've never found that to be a problem. A personal email will provide a response for more urgent matters within a few hours. Support is not fully available over the weekend or public holidays but a skeleton staff is provided. Closed forum for Create members to share ideas and assist with small problems/fixes as well as constructive reviews/suggestions for new members' websites. Negatives: Back office changes/tweaks can be made without advance notice and these have sometimes affected my site. It's usually fixed or they will offer a temporary fix within either a few hours but sometimes this can run into days. However, I've never been in a position since 2008 that my site has not been able to function due to the changes. The "Search" function doesn't work very well and does not handle search strings so customers typing more than one word will struggle if your business has a large number of products. There are other small, niggly things which irritate from time to time but nothing so far has pushed me to look elsewhere for a company to host my business. It's daunting to think how I would start again with over 5,000 individual products and certainly, the positives outweigh the niggles. I'm staying where I am.

I have been with create now for a few years and making and maintaining a website has been a real learning curve with some hard knocks along the way but whenever I have been stuck the guys from create have been there 100% with teq support second to none. I would definitely recommend this platform to anyone for a website, reliable and easy to use :)

I've been with Create for great many years & over that time i've seen it grow & develop in to one of the best web building businesses out there. Its easy to set up & use plus with great staff that are always helpful. I would highly recommend Create to anyone wishing to join the world wide web be it business or pleasure.

I have been with Create for several years and currently have two websites with them (although getting ready to move one for business purposes). I have no complaints at all. The cost is certainly reasonable and the ease of building a website is made even easier by the incredible font of information that is the forum. So many helpful people willing and able to help solve problems, give advice and just chat in the off-topic thread. Overall, a wonderful site with good support (although there is only email support and little support on weekends - perhaps their only negative).

I love Create, I had no website experience when I came across them. I found the web builder easy to use and is great value for money. The forum is a mine of information and I have made some great new friends there. The support staff are very helpful too!!

Have used create and found it limited. You can get better deals else where on the net. No phone support and email support is limited. Also their forum is very one sided and argumentative.

This is my second attempt at producing a web-site and find, as someone who would rather be making things with my hands instead of struggling with a computer, that I can manage very nicely, thank you. My husband set up my first site and I knew what I wanted but couldn't do it myself. Maybe practise helps and the more I do the easier it is, but with the help from Create and the forum, I'm actually enjoying my time at the computer now. I like the extras, (widgets?) and have put a slideshow on my site. I have lots to read in Create's information pages and blog and then I'll add more. I like the idea of linking to my Facebook business page and am looking into that at the moment, also linking to like-minded sites as I make contacts through the forum etc. I'm glad Create.net was recommended in a craft magazine by a crafter and I tell other crafters too.

So far, I have been delighted with the service Create offers. Their website packages are easy to use and good value for money.

Create is a great value for money offering. The software is easy to use with very little technical knowledge needed, so is ideal for novices. You get a lot of different features for your money, and there are several different packages available making the product very flexible for a wide range of products and services. On the downside, setting up a large number of products to your Create shop can be long winded, but the stock control and order management features available make up for this. There are a lot of similar "DIY" website providers on the market, but what really sets Create apart is their very friendly and helpful approach to ongoing customer support and advice on how to get the best out of the software. They are also very responsive to product improvements and have released a number of improvements to the product since I have been with them over the last couple of years, so the product continues to grow with it's customers. Create also have an excellent and very active free members forum which is an additional plus because you can always find other members in the forum who are happy to spend the time to answer questions and offer advice.
