There are 2 main elements that set Site123 apart from any other website builder. One is the 24/7 support team. Because I work with a lot of small business owners and entrepreneurs who are not techy, having a support team there to help is a huge benefit. Whether it's me or my client asking for assistance, it makes a difference in trusting that their website will always be optimised. The second element is the pre-template website builder allows anyone to populate their website without over thinking or feeling over whelmed.

One star is a luxury for them
Stay away from this scam! With the web layouts they provide seems jump back to 10 years ago and besides that the features and tools they provide don't even work properly. When reporting the issues to their service the only alternative they are able to provide, is to charging you extra money to use their own web designers... NO WAY!!! I'm a computer engeneer working on software development and web design for many years. The reason why I chose 123site was to have a platform with a prebuilt structure to speed up my web works and concentrate time and resources to other more productive activities. Terrible mistake! I'll end up to build a web site by myself and devote the required time. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME ON THIS SCAM. Hire a local web designer which can listen to your needs and gives tips. Leave this rubbish to the trash bin.

Hello,
Thank you for your review.
Our platform provides the option to create a professional website without the need for coding. Our layouts and templates align with current web development trends, and we offer tools to operate a website for both simple and complex operations. We are always eager to hear from our users who may need specific features and tools, and we aim to add these based on our careful consideration and decision.
We also offer 24/7 support to help you with any desired changes, adding functionalities, or reporting any bugs you may encounter.
As with any platform, we cannot guarantee a bug-free experience, but once we are aware of an issue, we do everything possible to address it as quickly as possible.
Regarding tools that are not available in your current package, we offer five tiers of packages designed to meet different user needs. Each package provides various management and design tools, allowing you to select the one that best suits you without paying for unnecessary features. The higher-tier package you purchase, the more tools you will have.
Additionally, we offer design packages that enable you to send us your website requirements. Our dedicated team of designers and builders can create the website for you. That said, you can always build the website yourself and receive assistance from our support team throughout the process.
We offer these options to help you get your website up and running sooner rather than later.
If you have a specific issue, we invite you to email our team at info@site123.com, provide us with information about it, and we will be happy to assist you.
Best Regards

Few people who help you
The only professional agent is Albert.
The others are all incompetent and don't respond for hours.

Not a free site
Not a free site. Costs several hundred pounds a year with no promotion or support. endless emails from multiple staff asking you to pay to renew when you already have. Will not renew next year.

Hello,
Thank you for your review
Our platform offers a FREE package that allows you to create a professional website. However, if you are interested in more advanced features and management tools, or if your business requires more from your website, you may want to consider purchasing one of our premium packages.
Please be aware that when our agents contact you regarding renewal, it is typically to ensure you are informed about the upcoming renewal and to assist you with the process.
If you would prefer not to receive these communications, please reach out to our team or send us an email at info@site123.com, and we will remove you from our mailing list.
Should you need assistance, our support team is available 24/7.

Beware of auto-renewal scam
In 2023 I signed up for 1 year website and domain subscription. I didn’t like the website so I canceled after 1 year. They scammed me and told me I hadn’t turned off auto renewal. Stupidly I trusted them and thought it was my mistake so I didn’t dispute the charge.
But I had Oscar from their leadership team confirm to me (I have screenshots) that my auto renewal was off for my entire account. I also received emails confirming that auto renewal was off and that my subscriptions would expire at the end of November 2025.
Then last night I got 2 emails thanking me for renewing and an invoice for 2 more years!!! I didn’t renew AND I made sure I wasn’t set up to auto renew! I’ve been talking with their support for 15 hours and they are trying to tell me it’s too late.
I will update if they refund me but considering this is the SECOND time I’ve been scammed by them I need to post. I’ve paid over $900 to this company over 2 years! You think they would appreciate that and treat me fairly.
Update: they refunded me after I posted this review. If they scam you, they will tell you that it can’t be refunded no matter what. Then after your post an honest review they refund it immediately.
My advice if they try scam you:
1) take screenshots of your chat messages with support
2) tell support you are going to dispute the charge
3) post a review about the experience
After this, they should refund you.

Hello,
Thank you for your review.
Our team has thoroughly examined your case. The renewal that occurred on November 19th was for your domain and was performed manually; it was not initiated through the auto-renewal process.
Please note that the auto-renewal feature is currently disabled for your account. When auto-renewal is disabled, we send an email notification regarding the expiration of your product, which includes an option to renew by clicking the “Renew Now” link within the email. Our records indicate that the renewal transaction you completed was done through this email option.
We also want to clarify that once auto-renewal is disabled, we do not reactivate it. If the account owner wishes to enable this feature again, it can be done manually from their dashboard.
After reviewing your case, we want to emphasize that we have no interest in forcing our service. Therefore, we have decided to issue a refund for your transaction.
If you need any further clarification or assistance regarding this matter, please feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
The SITE123 Team
This is an awful company
This is an awful company! I was using site123 for about 6 months and their customer service was horrible and I wasn't pleased with the product. I felt like all they wanted me to do was hire someone to build my site and offered no customer service what so ever. I moved my whole domain to a different company and was satisfied with that. Now I was charged $588 for a site I canceled over a year ago and they refuse to issue a refund! They are a horrible company and I have turned them in for fraud. Go somewhere else for your web service!
I canceled over a year ago why would I wan't auto renew? There was no email telling me this was going to renew you just billed me, absolutely scandalous.

Hello,
Thank you for your review.
First, it’s important to clarify that SITE123 is a website-building platform, and you are responsible for all aspects of setting up your website. While we provide templates, it is up to you to add the various pages and tools that suit your needs. Our support team is available to guide and assist you throughout the process. You may choose to hire someone to help, or you can follow the instructions from our support team. However, unless you have purchased a design package, we do not make changes to your website on your behalf.
Our platform, like many others, includes an auto-renewal feature. This feature is designed to ensure your website remains accessible online for both current and potential clients. It also helps to prevent any negative impacts on your website’s search engine ranking due to unintended takedowns. You can disable the auto-renewal feature at any time through your account settings, and it is the account owner's responsibility to do so if they do not wish to renew their website.
If you need further assistance, please contact our team at billing@site123.com or at info@site123.com. We are here to help!
Best Regards

At the very beginning I did choose the wrongly website style wondering that getting the correct guidance I will ending with the exact website platform planned before but that never happens, obviously after paying for what I get my only option was to make it work, then they help me step by step and actually they do anytime that I ask for specific issues to get help, I can honestly say, Recommend.

I wanted to make my own website and SITE123 helped me very much! It's a simple set-up that doesn't need someone to have a scholarship for coding. I've tried lots of 'website makers' but SITE123 stands out as the best. I've had my website for a few months now and it still works great. The main issue is the prices. To get the plan I want, I need to pay $30/mo. I'd prefer not to spend that much on just a website. I've stuck with the free plan and it's still a great website maker, even though some tools I'd like aren't available with the basic plan.

The live chat is broken and support can't solve basic issues like domain transfer. They used to be good, but now it's impossible to get real help.

Hello
Thank you for submitting a review.
Please note that the Domain transfer is not a basic issue, and not something that can be resolved via Support.
Domain transfer is an external process to SITE123, which involves your current domain registrar and the domain registrar requesting the transfer.
It also requires your approval of the transfer via an email that is sent to you by the domain registrar.
If the transfer is not approved by you or your current domain registrar, it will fail, and the domain will remain with your current domain registrar until a transfer request is resubmitted and approved.
Our support team has always referred such issues to our Domain team to request either checking the status of the transfer or resubmitting the request.
You can reach out to our domain department at domain@site123.com
You can also reach out to our team at info@site123.com, and we will do all we can to assist you.
Best regards

Domain transfer is taking over five weeks currently and support staff replies quickly but has no solution. Canceling the subscription and getting a refund seems no option.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We want to clarify that transferring a domain involves a process between your current domain registrar and the registrar we partner with.
As the domain owner, you will need to confirm the transfer by responding to an email that will be sent to you. If you do not confirm the transfer request, it will be canceled, and your domain will remain with the current registrar.
From our side, we submit the transfer request to our partner registrar. After that, we must wait for both you and your current registrar to confirm the transfer. If the transfer has not been completed, it indicates that either you or your current registrar has not confirmed it.
For further assistance, please contact us at domain@site123.com or info@site123.com. We will check with our domain registrar and do our best to assist you.
Best Regards

Ive done multiple sites with site123
Ive done multiple sites with site123 - they used to be decent but over time the quality of support has gotten really really poor ( I recently fell on a "Sandra" and she was completely unable to help me and unresponsive). You're better off going to these Go-Daddys or other site builders..
