Very smooth and handy, also for a knowledgeable web developer I like the Ragic product very much. I am a web developer (and IT university lecturer) but on my temporary computer setup I don't have access to SqlServer, an ASP.NET host or Visual Studio, and I just needed to create a typical member database. Ragic solved this problem effortlessly for me. It is very easy to use, Excel-style plus a clever way to integrate UI through a "design mode" that maps to the tabular data. Hooking it up to one's website (which can be a simple html site; no dedicated web server host needed) is a very simple process - just insert a link to the Ragic sheet. Finally, the appearance of the sheets can be tweaked easily, through templates and css. I made the membership system in two hours, including data import (import can be done from Excel) and figuring out how the system works. I can't say how the system works for more complex db structures, and I assume that sooner or later an organisation outgrows Ragic. Still, at that point in time, the organisation would not have an issue with getting licenses for web servers etc anyway. In addition, there is excel export, so moving to MySQL or SqlServer wouldn't be a difficult process. Final thing: pricing is good and the support people I've been in touch with (regarding payment, not system functionality) are nice and helpful. Good job, Ragic!

Surprisingly powerful and easy to use -
