Web page design, and for that matter, every web designing applications have particular shortcomings that you want to know before deciding to make use of them. But, before going into these limitations, that these same web tools can make your website much more simplistic friendly for the user. Since, even though I mention these as shortcomings, in actuality they could be the very reasons of the popularity of the websites built with these tools.

Now, let us look into the limitations with web designing tools one by one.

The first thing to be pointed out is that web design software does not need HTML coding to be used for building websites. The tools have their own templates with which the website can be built. If you are going to use only these templates, then obviously you will be restricted to a very narrow choice. You have to produce with the templates that are provided. Most designers might feel that the templates provided with these tools are quite basic. Also, since these are templates used commonly by all users, there is a possibility that your website might look like a clone of another website on the Internet.

In most cases, the changes that have once been done with net objects are most difficult to reverse. Suppose you want to revert and edit some of your creating in HTML, like you want to add some better effects than those that are provided in the template. That is difficult to do. That's because web design software does not keep making raw HTML as you proceed with the building of your website, but the code will be available to you only after the website has been published. Once your website is published, you have the HTML code, but at that point of time, making changes is not that easy.

Also, once the website is published, it is difficult to make use of some of the tools on web page design itself. Therefore, advancement of the website becomes very difficult once it is made. Building a website with web designing tools does want a lot of forethought and planning for this very reason.

Another thing is that you will not be able to build a very complex website with net objects and even other similar tools in the market. You work within the ambits these tools provide and since your scope is restricted. You can only make simple websites that allow for easy navigations within a few tabs. If you want to build a heavy-duty e commerce website, then these tools might not be helpful for you.
