On the outside, DIY web building solutions advertise having lots of choices, great looks, and easy operation (some of which are actually true). Sadly, until you buy it won't know the limitations of a site made with a DIY builder. The Backside DIY website builders are filled with so much code on the backside in an attempt to have everything you may need while building your site.
