Site Builder WebNode Raises $1.2M

It must take some exceptional self-confidence to launch and raise funding for a Web site building tool in this market, what with all of the competition from the likes of Google, WordPress, Six Apart and others. But that is what the Czech startup Webnode has just done.
Webnode compares itself to Weebly and Google Page Creator but says it has much more functionality. Like Ning, WebNode offers drag and drop functionality additions so that users can drop in eCommerce, polling, external gadgets like Flickr.
At this point it is not clear how WebNode plans to make a living as it is free to use. Unlike WordPress and SixApart it does not currently offer a paid, hosted plan. UPDATE:
The company tells us that there are several opportunities to profit on WebNode through paid services:
- Extension of storage space limit (100MB default)
- Extension of bandwidth limit (5GB default)
- Selling extra e-mail accounts
Webnode tells that a:c that it raised the $1.2M investment from individuals from the Czech republic.
