About BlueVoda
BlueVoda was recommended to me by customers of the this site. It is a WYSIWYG web page editor built specifically for the small business who needs to create and maintain a website without knowledge of HTML. However, it appears to only connect to the VodaHost hosting service. There is some indication that you can connect to outside hosts, but I can’t confirm this. When I requested a copy, I never received a response. While it appears easy to use, I can’t recommend this product as I’ve never been able to try it out. You should be aware that their website has a (loud) video that runs automatically. I don't recommend visiting this site if you’re at work.
