A great article and a lot of good comments. As a designer, I started out building sites in Wordpress from scratch and taking existing templates and stripping them apart. I have also built sites with builders like these and like someone else mentioned, those with huge egos will refuse to work with them but I have built great sites using different ones and it helps save some times for your basic, professional looking site. Bottom line is that some of these companies advertise that “no code experience necessary”, etc and in my experience, if you don’t know even your basic CSS/HTML, your site will look pretty basic or “just like the demo” no matter how intuitive the builder is. Clients will try to use and build things and then come to me with basic questions that simple CSS will solve. They are sometimes amazed when shown the Custom CSS area and all the code I have added to truly customize and build a unique site. For your average client who wants a no frills site up and quickly, some of the builders work great but I believe none of them will replace the need for a true designer who knows code and has an eye for great design and visuals and putting it all together.
