Coincidentally, I'd just had first-hand experience of the thing as I got a call from a new client looking for help with it. My findings are on my blog here, and they're not pretty! http://www.web-designer-edinburgh.co.uk/index.php/2011/09/07/build-your-own-website/ Good article and very topical, especially as one of the big hosting companies are advertising their “site builder” heavily on TV at the moment.

And because many small businesses don't know the right questions to ask, the business case gets left behind by both parties. Small businesses should look for a designer or firm that will seek to understand what it the business is about and why they need a web site to support it, rather than talking exclusively about themselves and how great they are with the very latest graphic software. For businesses which don't know much about online marketing and need help in learning how to translate their business idea to the web, there is a useful little volume called "Internet Marketing" by Nigel Packer which is worth a read.
