What can a iPhone based website builder can actually do?

A Simple Web Presence

A website is often an online business card you can link to and from your social media profiles: an introduction, a few pictures, contact info, and possibly a map.

A Presentation Website

A website to present a service, explain the organization of an event, build photo galleries, etc. The sites look and feel should be able to support a company logo and graphical charter.

Easy navigation between pages is as important as the content itself. Visitors need to quickly find the information they are looking for, learn something, make a decision, and hopefully get in touch or buy something.

If you need a more complex website, like managing your own user accounts, then you won't find a suitable iPhone app. You most likely need a computer, a fully-fledged website builder and potentially a professional developer to give you a hand.
