Edicy – A Simple but Basic Wesbite Creator
So, you need a website – and a free one at that. Edicy is an option – a good one if you’re not to tech savvy and just need something knocked up quickly with no fuss or bother.
Basically you go to their site and start to make your website by signing up. Pretty straight forward. After just putting in an e-mail address you are brought to the website editor which is as easy as stealing pie from a window sill. Basically, it looks like your site and all you do is insert text, images and other special functions exactly where you want them. Along the menu bar of your site you can ad more pages and there is even a nice introduction article there for you.
However, it is extremely basic. FreeWebs are basic but they still offer you some good features. With Edicy the best you can hope for is a no-frills page to tell people who you are and what you do. You have to use templates provided by them (or risk the peril of trying to use their HTML system). They’re not providing anything worthwhile and are coming into a crowded market. FreeWebs has millions of customers; Edicy have just over 70,000. They won’t be able to compete and should have gone into a more refined niche.
All things considered, it’s a good page if you want to give people directions to you store or just have a small bio. If you’re looking for a website that in anyway stretches beyond the year 1998, go elsewhere. 4/10
