Clover Sites differ from the others in this category due to their entirely Flash-based templates. There are 15 different templates and they all have a really edgy, current design and layout. For a non-tech person, Clover is perfect because they have hard-coded everything for you already all you need to do is add your content. The flash definitely gives a swanky feel, but sadly cuts out on the SEO friendly URLs. If you are looking for something off the rack and with a current flare, Clover is perfect. However, there is not a lot you can do to personalize the site, less features then competitors and limited growing room.
Features:
• Flexible Design Capability

I wondered if you are still monitoring this blog? I would love to speak with you if possible, but the contact page isn’t working. We are really trying to make sure what is on the web about us is accurate and up to date and we’d love to speak with you about your post. Could you possibly contact me?
My email is above, or you can call me at (805) 527-8900.
The two main points made in your assessment of Clover we’d love to see updated or removed:
- Our sites are in Flash, but they are also in HTML. Full SEO capability and full mobile phone version because of it! (Our sites were this way when you posted your review and haven’t changed).
- One of the sites at the bottom of your article isn’t working with Clover. Linking to this site gives an inaccurate impression of our product.
We are really trying to manage our branding and these types of things are confusing to people who are checking out our product. We’d love to have good information out there! I’d love to speak with you about it if you like, but we’d love to have the incorrect information made right or taken down.
Thanks so much for your help! We really appreciate your heart to help people make a good website decision. We want that very much too!
Have a great day,
