View2Offer.com is different from other website builders because of its unparalleled ease of use. We offer a true 'drag and drop, point and click' edit environment which makes it incredibly easy to update your content. If you want to change some text, just click on it on your site and change it. If you want to move an image, just drag it across the page, or drag the corners to change its size. There is no technology to learn, no code, no form filling, just quick and easy tools that work intuitively.

6. Can I sell things on my website?
Yes you can. View2Offer.com currently integrates with PayPal as a payment gateway. You can set up links or buttons on your site to act as 'buy now' or 'add to cart' PayPal buttons.

View2Offer.com allows you to integrate with these features for your own online store.

However, if you are selling sites built using View2Offer.com we require that you purchase a new account for each client or sign up for one of our specific View2Offer.com Reseller products."

11. View2Offer.com DIY is built using Flash, why? Does it matter?
The View2Offer.com editing tools are built using Adobe Flash because it allows us to offer a genuine 'drag and drop' WYSIWYG interface that makes View2Offer.com so easy to use. However, we publish your site in both Flash and HTML so it is available to the widest range of browsers and is correctly indexed and listed by search engines. Flash is often criticised for not being search engine friendly, which is why we extract the content from your site and publish it in HTML too. So you get all the benefits of a slick easy to use Flash interface without any downside. That is why View2Offer.com DIY is an awesome tool.
