   Client Opinion  
     
 

My initial impressions of the Empower system are very favorable. I have used some other local-system website building tools, and I was a little unclear on the power of a web-based system. However, after using it, I am most impressed by the power and ease of use. I am quite amazed by the number of possible modules that can be assembled into the site, and the fairly easy and logical way of manipulating them once in place. It's an extremely well-thought out system... I think you have a huge winner on your hands. I have yet to delve deeply into its more potent modules, as our needs are not there yet, but I expect that I will continue to be pleasantly surprised by the system as we progress into the full web presence we envision. Very slick!
