Summary: Quansite seems to offer the complete and one-click website development/blogging platform/social media intergration package. But what are you really getting (and is it going to work for your online business?)
I want to preface this review by stating that I have known the creator of QuanSite ("Coach Deb" Micek) for some time now, so it is tough for me to be totally unbiased in this review. At the same time, she and a group of us do meet on a regular basis and the re-invention of her original Blogi360 platform has been brainstormed among us quite a bit.
Let's put it this way...she had a really good website development platform with Blogi360. Then, being a bunch of pipe-dream-smoking internet marketers, we would suggest these crazy (but super powerful) features to improve her product.
Well, she took those ideas and actually implemented them. So if Blogi360 was good, QuanSite is going to be INCREDIBLE!
Let me tell you what is it briefly. First, Blogi360 was originally a Wordpress-powered content management system (don't let the name "Blogi360" confuse you in that this was only a blogging platform...it wasn't...and that is one reason for the name change to QuanSite, because it is more than just blogs).
Watch My Interview with Coach Deb!
Now one of the things that made the original Blogi360 so popular was its uncanny ability to achieve fast, yet stable, free organic search engine listings (aka, these were very SEO-friendly websites!). She has lists of clients who praise this fact.
But now, with Quansite, she has made some changes. First, the "Quansite" is more than just a Wordpress blog, it is an entirely new proprietary Wordpress-style content management system. Basically, it is used just like Wordpress (and the admin is very similar), but like on crack: More features, more pre-installed plug-ins, and very Web 2.0 friendly!
Secondly (this is the thing I really like about it!), the social media/marketing integration. This takes many of Coach Deb's Tribal Seduction techniques (I did mention she is a social media giant herself, right?), and applies them into the Quansite structure.
For example: social bookmarking. As you post or create pages, the system automatically bookmarks the page. But it does it SMART! Instead of just bookmarking your own stuff in your bookmarking accounts, you now join a "tribe" of other social bookmarkers. It will look more natural to search engines and social media. That means better social marketing AND better SEO. (This rocks!)
So how does it work?
When you join, you get a QuanSite fully installed for you. You can choose the domain you want. They do the hosting. They do the installation. The features (like the social bookmarking) is automated within the system. There are many options for the number of sites you can have under one account, too. (Be sure to check the options, since it can save you a lot of money in the future!)
Who is this for?
First realize that this CAN be used for much more than a blog. This is really an ideal solution for the non-technical person looking to have a powerful website. Many of her clients are small business owners looking for an "all-in-one" solution to get a professional-looking website online fast that will be extremely effective in attracting visitors.
I have been very very very excited to become an insider I saw every stream and started watching the replays as well. I am a brand new newbie still in the learning process. As a matter of fact the training video’s I started on Oct 1 is where I saw Matt Bredel and the Webreviewer. One subscription and then another and here I am. I have been looking for alot of (How-to’s) once I saw this system WOW, it will save me TON of Time. Just thinking that the software will convert any video format to FLASH wow that saves Money and Stumbling Time. Very impressed indeed. This will be my first Website, actually I will get 4 Wow! I know this must have been a blessing (Everything happens for a reason) and I feel very fortunate and actually honored to be associated with all of you. Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you
Friendly Regards,

This is also great for those starting off online wanting to create a blog or even a money site. With the multiple-site options offered by Quansite, it provides you with a lot of flexibility to both grow and develop (for both personal and business uses).
Now the one caveat to Quansite is for those techie's (like myself) out there. I like to screw around a lot with my Wordpress blog. I create plug-ins and change the raw theme code quite often. Quansite does support some extrenal plug-ins and you can edit and even customize your website...to a point. The actual "engine" cannot be manipulated. So if you like to tinker with the raw code a lot, this may not be what you want.
Still, even for the "tinker-er" like me, Quansite still offers some incredible SEO and social tools/plugins (like the bookmarking tool that is integrated into the Quansite "tribe") that you will not be able to do yourself (I've tried looking for Wordpress plug-ins to do these tasks...and most are either very expensive or ineffective).
I do plan on starting to move some of my current Wordpress sites onto the Quansite platform (and YES, there are ways of porting your current Wordpress sites into Quansite). But if you are looking for your own website solution, you should really look into QuanSite. It is designed for the non-technical personal looking to have a professional, effective and affordable website in a matter of no time.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

P.S. In case you were wondering...and since I asked the question to Deb...the "QuanSite" name came from "the Quan" that is referenced and talked about in the movie "Jerry McGuire". As she puts it: by joining Quansite, you will find yourself becoming an elite member of the "Secret Society of Quan!"
