well I am about finished with the first site i am working on http://www.smileonyu.com/ just have to add the last page and some more detail to services

And I am very happy with VSD at first it seemed limiting but its actually pretty good so i am thinking about forking over the $$ for it

But first a few questions the main one is what do I gain for going full version

and is there a list of hot keys ??

and is there any thing I should know before buying

ps
thanks to those who helped me to get this far

Free hosting for your website hassle free publishing and the ability to carry on editing after the trial runs out.

The main gain you get is that you're using a trial version which caps out and will no longer function at all once the trial is over. The trial versions of CoffeeCup software are not limited so you get the full advantage of the software for the trial period so there's nothing you really "gain" other than the ability to keep going and of course the S-Drive situation too as Viv already mentioned.

forgot to mention more help and advice from friendly forum bunch in all the other forum threads one big happy family

One thing I have noticed about CC software is their trial versions are just limited use; then you have to buy the "full version" to keep using the software. This has been a big plus for me since I get to use the full version without buying it. I have not been disappointed with any CC products I have purchased. I have tried several CC products, some are what I need and some are not.

You get 5 star support! Direct support from CC plus a forum that is loaded with friendly folks that are willing to help even if it is just to give their opinion on the website you have created.

Plus, you only have to purchase the software once. The software comes with free upgrades for life! You can't beat that.

CC backs what they sell... They are not just selling software.... Customer service, support it's all great. When I had issues with one of the FTP programs, I talked off and on with a live support person until we figured out it was not the software but my web hosting provider. CC helped me talk with them to figure out the cause and the fix. CC goes above and beyond the normal standard of customer service.

Hope this helps. The only time I buy software that is not CC is if CC doesn't make it.
