Comments from users about SS1:
Second Site works like a dream! Nice work!
— Alvy S.SS produces the best genealogy website of any product, bar none.
— Keith H.Today I was in a class and the speaker's subject was genealogy websites. He showed several really bad example sites and then he showed us his favorite site, the one he considers the best he has seen. At the bottom of the first page it said, 'Created by John Cardinal's Second Site.' It was great!!
— Liz B.I must tell you that at the reunion I showed the family the results of a CD built by Second Site. If I heard the word WOW one time I heard it thousands of times. You may want to rename SS to WOW <g>. People were gaga!
— Wayne B.Second site is clean and uncluttered, fast and easy to use.
— John O.I LOVE this program!
— Diana P.I found SS is very easy to use and my wife and I are very pleased with the results. We have over 35,000 relatives in our database and they are all displayed nicely on the website.
— Jim E.I have to tell you that I love SS. I have been inputting a lot of data from a parish register transcript and it has helped my find homes for a lot of strays that the 1901 census produced. Then I have been able to update my website so easily that I can almost do it daily.
— Dawn E.It is such a pleasure to find software like Second Site that is supported by a real person.
— John L.Several years ago, I purchased SS and have never been sorry. It is incredible that you are still providing me with free support and updates. Thanks again! No other software manufacture is coming anywhere close to this level of customer support.
— Ken M.Your software is the greatest. I used it to post over 37,000 names from one database.
— M.K.I purchased Second Site last weekend, and I am very pleased with it. For the first time in a long time, I feel optimistic that it will result in my being able to communicate my research and ideas to people who might be interested, sooner rather than much later!
— Joe D.This morning I bought Second Site, and about an hour later published my database! I can't tell you how amazed I am.
— Holly K.Wow! I love Second Site, which I just downloaded yesterday. Unbelievable what can be done in three minutes.
— Janis G.Wow! I just created my first site using John Cardinal's Second Site! Was THAT easy! And the results are wonderful. Lots of things to tweak if you want to, but the default settings produce excellent, 'camera ready' results.
— John B.I bought and downloaded Second Site this evening. This software is just perfect; I'm amazed. When I imported a [chart] and actually ended up with a clickable image with links, I couldn't believe what I saw. And it all works perfect in Norwegian. Pictures, sentences, custom tags, sources, the lot. Wow!
— Øystein J.SS is one of the most practical packages for family historians ever developed. SS makes their efforts available to the rest of the world. Thank you so much.
— Ed E.I finally bought Second Site, and I would like to say how very happy I am that I did. I have spent the past weekend cleaning up my TMG files (2,800+ people) and adding images. I have already made one CD and mailed it to a collaborating relation in England. Thanks for a splendid program.
— Phil G.Today I got an e-mail from my friend's Mum which said: 'I have been into your CD several times and am most impressed, not just the huge amount of info but the layout of the pages as well. Your understanding of html, xhtml, stylesheets. etc. certainly puts my understanding to shame.' My understanding of HTML, XHTML and stylesheets is, of course, precisely zero - the impressive layout is all thanks to Second Site.
— Caroline G.Second Site is one of the greatest programs I have *ever* used.
— Andy H.I am an absolute beginner with Second Site. I worked with it last night for the first time and produced my first web output. What a great product!!!
— Don L.I have finished proofreading and updating [my] family website with Second Site. His program just makes me look like a genius. Thank you John!
— Judy E.I just installed Second Site, ran it on my database in just a few minutes, and even on the first try, I am amazed! I had looked at other sample sites, but somehow it is very different when you are looking at your own data! Thanks again to everyone who encouraged me to go ahead. If I do nothing more than make CD's for grateful relatives it will be well worth it.
