Wahoo! My first post. Lisa, i love your sites! Thanks for helping so many people!

Question: What do you all think of APLUS.net?? To be honest I was literally minutes away from buying thier package for my first website, when I stumbled across Lisa's promo's of sitebuildit. Sitebuildit seems very interesting, but I'm inclined to believe I can probably do just as well on my own with a ton of education for a fraction of the cost? (maybe not...pleae advise)! I'm very technical, so getting around in that respect shouldn't be a prob. Nevertheless, before I stray too far from the topic:
APLUS.net's sample website was a fun kind of draw. They have a few dozen simple and catchy flash intros that caught my attention. Is this easily replicated? Or is this worth the expense that they're charging to just have them do it for me?

I did a search on the forums for aplus.net and all that it turned up was one semi-random comment "stay away from aplus.net". Unfortunately, no reason was given beyond that. Thoughts?????
thanks in advance.
