Scroll down for earlier comments, this has been going on all day. No one at Homestead is paying attention whatsoever...

Same issue!  Some kind of formatting artifact - "A"s inserted throughout.

Republish the pages using the downloaded Site Builder - this clears the problem - let me know how you get on.

The HTMl "bug" appeared on mine yesterday after editing using the online builder.

Let me know how y'all get on :)

Steve, I have the same problems with "A Letter Characters" appearing randomly on my website.  We need answers that work for this problem.

This problem appears to be spreading across Homestead-hosted websites.  We need tools to fix it.  Users don't have the solution so where are the Homestead technicians?

I think they'd rather we use the new improved web builder .. which is good for very simple web sites.

My site builder plus program is or was amazing.

Republishing doesn't fix mine, either. Homestead, correct this!

I talked to what is supposed to be a supervisor. They told me no one who is an actual employee of HS is going to be on this site anymore. I suggest you blow up their call center at 8007101998 or, better yet, get to WIX.

Unfortunately, someone wanted to phase out a perfectly good program design.

I hope they know a lot of business will be lost, now with a dysfunctional looking web page I'll have to start over but not with this carrier.

@zendie7329​ Not in the slightest. I spoke to three different people in India, I assume.

Two of the three were parroting off a prepared script.

We are having the same problem.  I operate two different Homestead websites, and the problem - exactly as you describe - appears in both sites.

A recent follow up regarding the mysterious "    "
It seems For what ever reason the site builder plus program decided to throw in these "coding phenomenon's " all of a sudden , I'm sure there is some reasoning behind it chances are from some other programs format.

I'm finding that a simple spacing in characters within test creates this scenario.

Example : 
 Why  do I have   to keep fixing   my site.   

Compared to:
Why do I have to keep fixing my site.

Maybe its an improper spacing marker ?

So by me eliminating any trace of unnecessary spacing these Â's go away.

now I'm not sure what this code " ​ " will mean until I get to it.

I love what coding people do, but I sure dislike its process.

Happy proper spacing everyone.

One last note for those appreciated coding people.
If you can make a spell check program for us grammar lackers, how about a program not allowing    improper |   spacing
