When using an online website builder there are many factors you have to consider. Opening up a website is almost like opening up a small business. A webmaster must consider their demographic to find out what the site will call for in terms of language, look, size and extra features like flash. First off, deciding the browser you feel most people will use to view your site is important because if not set up properly through an online site builder a page could look different on Firefox from Explorer.

According to w3schools.com for June 2008, 27% of people online use Internet Explorer 7, 26.5% use Explorer 6 and 41% use Firefox. Every month more people are going with Firefox.

While using the online website builder avoid senseless color contrasts, letter spacing, line spacing and non-standard fonts. When creating style sheets try to keep the background and font colors defined the same way. Remember to either place navigation across the top and bottom or to the left and on the bottom. Making it hard to navigate is the best way to kill a site. Take this into consideration while using website builder programs.
