Pixpa vs Divi: Which is a better fit?

Matthew P.: Hi, I'm Matthew. I am a photographer and business owner. I am rating Pixpa, and I give Pixpa five stars. If you'd like to see more reviews like this, click below. Before I used Pixpa, I looked at a number of options. I considered things like Wix. I also used for a while a product called Format. And then I used Format for a good couple of years before I decided to switch and settled on Pixpa. I chose Pixpa because of the range of the functionality that it offered for the price point. I particularly liked the option for being able to sell my items through my website. And there was no commission taken. And the options there were really very flexible, and suited my needs and my customers very well. Getting started with Pixpa, I guess, like any platform, you have to spend a little bit of time learning, but it didn't take me long at all. I found that I was able to transition over. It was fairly self explanatory following my way around the website and the tools that they provide. And on one occasion, contacted support regarding a problem I was having, and they were really responsive. If you are considering getting Pixpa, I would recommend jumping in and having a look through, they have a free trial, I believe. They did have when I tried it out at first. And it's worth having a look because you'll probably find that it's fairly straightforward. You'll be quite, I think, pleased by the... Well, I was pleased by the range of functionality that it offered for the price that they charge.

Joel: Hi, my name is Joel. I'm the pastor of a growing church called Pentecostal Lighthouse Church in Ajax, Ontario, and I give Divi a five out of five rating. We switched from using Squarespace to run our website platform. We were really trying to use something that was easy to navigate and edit on the fly without knowing a lot of backend code. So we ended up switching from Squarespace to Divi based on the cost. We chose Divi because there was, A, lot more cost savings. Squarespace was raising its prices to the point where it was getting too much to navigate on a monthly basis. And then, we loved the flexibility of Divi. It gave us a little bit more customization than we had with Squarespace. Onboarding with Divi was a little bit more of a curve, learning curve than it was with Squarespace. There was a little bit more of learning the how things work. Thankfully, we had someone walking us through it, so there was some great tutorials available online, which helped a lot. And also, we had an expert graphic designer who had used Divi before, and he helped us navigate some of the challenges that we had. So onboarding it was a little bit more laborious than it was with Squarespace, but the end result is better. My recommendation, if you're considering using Divi, is find someone who's used it before. They are super helpful in walking you through some of the learning curve issues. If you don't have that ability, really lean heavily into their training videos. Take the time. I know a lot of times you just want to get it up and get it going, but do take the time to invest in your learning the back end so that you can use it to its full extent.
