This is bull***t.

You cannot encrypt web page. Or to be more precise, you can, but in that case, nobody will be able to see them without an authentication or decrypting method.

why would you build a web site that isn't viewable ?

My guess is that thier product is just obfuscating HTML.
But it's nothing more than making it harder to read.
And just to say it, disabling a right mouse click works only on browser where the user allowed it.
I disabled it for exemple. I hate when a site mess with my interface.

You ever saw https sites (Like a e-commerce)?
Those are encrypted, but on the layer that transport informations.
Your browser decrypt datas on the fly, with a key it and the webserver negotiated at the first connection.

And by the way, if they believe in their product, why wouldn't they use it for their own site ?
Hmm.... I wonder....

Take that statement to heart.

In order for your browser to render the HTML, it must be HTML.

Besides, what's the point? Even if it did work, any half decent web developer can look at a page and create some HTML to do the same thing in a trivial amount of time. Save your money. Somebody who's skill at HTML is so weak that they would copy your HTML is not a threat anyway.

Worry about more important things, like your content.

I think the point is to hide your valuable content from the evil Google Monster so it doesn't send you visitors.

It will do some of the spammier things, like "Keep away all web content filters" although I don't think "Disable link address in status bar" will work. The kicker is:

Prevent others from viewing and reusing your web page source code, include HTML source code, JavaScript, VBScript, text, links and graphics .

A decent web designer can copy a design without seeing the code, and a good one doesn't need to.
