Observations:

I downloaded the 15 day trial software. I strongly recommend test driving this software before you buy it. The users of this software seem to very loyal. They either absolutely love it or hate it.

The website price is $49. A good price for most Scouters. This software has a unique look and feel. Most website editors are based upon a text editor, this software is based upon a graphics editor.

Good Tutorial for beginners

The files you create are saved in a unique file format. This is a negative for me.

Summary

An interesting concept, in theory, but the software feels very confining. If you use this software, you will needs lots of scouting related graphics. Visit escoutingGraphics and pickup the graphics you need to create your scouting unit website.

--Happy Scouting
