### "Alternative WebSite/WP editor which successfully target professional site developer market"

March 22, 2022

4.0

After few years of use and numbers of good websites, we earn much more money than Pinegrow software price is. And sites are professional , stylish and easy for maintained. It is very good softvare, which become even better with every new update/upgrade. Excellent job for Pinegrow team.

Pros

Integration of every major website technology you can need in one package is the most interesting thing in this package. It is obvious that Pinegrow software developer team consist of website programmers which know todays internet trends. You can code your site in classic ways: HTML, PHP, CSS or in modern technology throughout WordPress templates, WP actions, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap technology and so on...

Cons

The is no FTP client integration, at all. You need additional FTP client for all server oriented jobs, no upload, no download from Pinegrow. And Pinegrow dont refresh links to your site files in the local disk, you have to do it manually - no local CRON. If you rename name of any file in disk, there are no option for automatic refresh and correction of all links at your developed site.. you have to do it manually, and it is a time consuming job sometimes.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Pinegrow

Price of software is the first reason. Yes Adobe Dreamweaver is better and it is industrial standard, but who need all its options and tools. And, Pinegrow has some charm to work in it...

Adobe mess with their licence subscription policy. I like feeling of buying product not services, and when buy something I like to think it is my for long time in future.

### "Essenziale"

September 2, 2021

5.0

Dimezzamento (anche più) dei tempi di sviluppo. Controllo assoluto di tutti gli aspetti per lavori di piccole dimensioni. Creazione semplice di moduli Wordpress.

Pros

Presenza di tanti template, piena compatibilità con Bootstrap 4 e 5, facilita estrema nella creazione delle pagine web e della customizzazione dei vari elementi. Presenza abbondante di tutorial sul blog dedicato. Grazie a Pinegrow ho dimezzato i tempi di sviluppo.

Cons

Localizzazione in italiano assente, personalmente non amo gli abbonamenti anche se in offerta ho un prezzo mensile vantaggioso.

### "An impressive app, but I never felt at home with it"

January 31, 2021

3.0

Pinegrow allows you to work with HTML and CSS through a graphical interface, offering tight integration with Bootstrap and other frameworks. In theory, this should be a real time-saver, but in practice I was never sure if the app was more of a help or a hinderance. Pinegrow doesn’t hide the complexity of web development. You’re still very much dealing with code, and needing to understand the mechanics of that code, but with an added layer of abstraction that made me feel disconnected from the code I was trying to write.

Pros

What sets Pinegrow apart from most modern website builders, and what drew me to it initially, is that it gives you the freedom to edit your HTML and CSS directly, on top of all the convenience of framework integration and drag-and-drop components. You can start a new project in Pinegrow, or open an existing website and start editing. The UI connects you to the code through a slew of panels and controls that allow you to edit object properties and styles. It supports modern features like CSS Grid, and outputs clean, standards-compliant code.

Cons

Pinegrow is an ambitious piece of software. Unsurprisingly, it has a pretty steep learning curve. But for me, the features that let it down the most were some of the most basic ones: text handling operations like selecting, editing, copying and pasting. In my experience, these things were unpredictable and unreliable. For me, having the confidence that software will behave predictably is critical to enjoying my work and being productive.

### "A rather unique web editor"

September 7, 2021

5.0

Pinegrow's visual interface for web page / css design has enabled me to create pages that are way better / more complex than I would otherwise have been able to create, and visually editing the layout / css properties has allowed me to experiment much more freely with design and layout adjustments, as well as content addition.

Pros

You need to understand html/css etc. to use Pinegrow, but it makes you many times more productive than hand-coding (whilst achieving identical html/css results).

Cons

There is a fair learning curve. It is wysiwyg, but it's much 'closer to the metal' than most other wysiwyg editors. That's OK - it's aimed at users with a good understanding of html/css and just makes them much more productive.

Reason for choosing Pinegrow

Pinegrow seemed more mature - the 'closer to the metal' wysiwyg type of web editors were relatively new at the time and Pinegrow was already much more complete. (Since then it has undergone what looks like a complete, top to bottom redesign which makes it even better.)

### "User-friendly Tool"

April 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

I liked how user-friendly and open it is. The data analysts that provides makes it easier to create web templates and other technologically advanced products. The editing features, property handling and component elements is the best. Amazing responsive design support.

Cons

At times, it can be a little slow. Also the application's price can be a big con since you can easily find good free alternative applications, doe it is true that Pinegrow is still much more intuitive than its rivals.

### "A good choice if you are a web developer"

May 1, 2021

4.0

Pros

It's developed by a small but responsive team, and new features and updates are constant. The wordpress module in particular has been helpful and a huge time saver.

Cons

The way new features are often offered as an "add-on" instead of part of the core program is a bit discouraging as a customer.

### "A website builder works on local"

May 21, 2022

5.0

Pros

Pinegrow's most unique aspect is it works in local machine as well as working on cloud. Having both MAC and Windows versions is quite fine.

Cons

Pinegrow's search engine optimization features are not that much advance.

### "Excellent tool for web design"

April 22, 2021

4.0

It's been really good, I've used it for several projects and it's been quick.

Pros

When I bought it, it made it easy for me to create web pages with Frameworks CSS like Bootstrap or Foundation. Creating sections by dragging blocks and inserting elements in the easiest way. After several years with it, I have seen its growth and how it has been adding more tools like animation and now with Tailwind.

Cons

No support for template development from other non-CSS frameworks. Possibly the subscription business model, although it is not totally abusive and you can continue using the add-on without the possibility of upgrading.

Reason for choosing Pinegrow

I had been using these applications and was looking for a better alternative.
