Web-based site builders give you more control over your site's design and maintenance than having a web designer build it for you, but without the need to build your site 'from scratch'.

Some site builders are in fact total ecommerce packages that include credit card processing, built-in Affiliate program management systems, free Domain Name registration, Email accounts, autoresponders, market research tools and more.

As such, a Web Site builder such as SBI! may be an excellent option for many new webmasters and affiliate marketers.

This is especially true for those who prefer to have all the services available to them in one package for a set monthly or yearly price.

One limitation to site builders is that they don't help you learn web site building basics like HTML Link coding, which I believe is absolutely essential if you intend to build a business.

So, for those who want total control over their websites, there really is only ONE option, and that is to do it yourself.

Don't panic, I'm won't suggest that you do it ALL yourself --- there are in fact many helpful tools available to make the DIY option very attractive...
