I attended last night's event in Edinburgh and, as an online marketing professional, found the whole thing painful & misleading. They suggested that you shouldn't really need to pay more than £750 for a full e-commerce website & you should aim for keyword rich domains - www.edinburgh-cartered-account.co.uk - being the example they used on the evening, rather than the company name. They also made the process of signing up & creating your website look very difficult, I use Google Sites all the time & was lost during the demonstration. Hope you don't mind me linking to my post but I think this is just a bunch of misinformation and is not really helping British Business to thrive in the digital world. http://www.attacat.co.uk/brain/getting-british-business-online-or-just-filling-google-bts-coffers/ Got to agree with the points you’ve made here.

I saved it, opened it in Safari, saved it as the most current signature and when I open mail back up to see the signature, the code is showing in the signature. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The problem with automated webbuilders is its difficult to be different everyone knows how ineffective templates can be and i think one pitfull of the whole plan could be small businesses trying it for one year and seeing little or no gain and abandoning the whole idea where as if they had better professional help they could have got better gains.

Plus, I'm already planning additional features after the release - such as a PMing system.
