although it seems cheap £99 could well end up being expensive, I see others selling sites cheap becuase they are cheap and are missing key things that are needed to make a website work.

It may be unlimited pages but i guess they all run from the same design css sheet. So its not that hard to do. where its likely to get costly is the addition of photos, payment services, SEO etc, and then probably force you to use their hosting which they charge extra for.

99 quid for a simple template site, which a web designer could alter to suit in 1 hour

looks about right

then again, who will really want more than 10 pages, same style / layout, just different words and a few pics
