I'm super impressed with the very rare level of support given when I bumped into a problem deploying an App, which was of my making. Pete offer to do it for me which he did and it was all up and running the next morning. Since then I've done a lot of modification of file and setting up emails etc and found Switchweb very easy to understand and navigate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Switchweb.
