October 19, 2022

5.0

I able to increase my productivity in creating websites within hours and this helps me meet my project deadlines.

Pros

Its an easy to use minimalistic website builder great for building ecommerce websites from beautiful and striking templates within a couple of hours even if you are a beginner.

Cons

You are limited in terms of SEO since it provides mostly front end development.

The platform dashboard can be quite confusing.

### "Very poor, inexperienced support staff"

October 15, 2022

2.0

Very poor customer service

Pros

Ease of setting up a website. You can publish directly from the site, but you have to use their photos, which you can't move anywhere else.

Cons

Support, cost of anything beyond subscription is way over priced. The company uses deceptive practices to sell products. They track people that use your site, among other things. You can't use any photos from the site anywhere else, like background photo's . Deceptiveness of the company. Example: I asked a customer service rep. if I could point my domain to another host. It took him 30 minutes with me on the line to give him that answer. If you can go with another company, I would. If I had a chance to do it over again, I would look elsewhere.

### "Excellent, elegant, and simple web design software for any level"

November 11, 2022

5.0

Excellent, elegant, and simple web design software for any level. Limitations because of simplicity and pricing tiers, but I have used the free version for almost a decade and still love it. Never needed to upgrade because they offer so much!

Pros

Strikingly has been my go-to for basic web design software for almost a decade now. I have been able to create dozens of websites for friends, family, and several businesses and even a nonprofit. Because it's simple it is intuitive to use and teach. We receive compliments on the ease of navigation every single time someone visits the site for the first time. Customer support is very helpful and always available, and they are always coming out with new and very helpful features like appointment scheduling.

Cons

There are very few things I dislike about Strikingly, but one thing that has bothered me over the years is the inability to create a website under my own account and then "transfer ownership" to another account. For example, I help folks design their site and provide support after as they get comfortable using Strikingly. This allows for complete independence for someone to have their own, custom-built website and run it themselves. But there is no way to simple transfer ownership - I have to maintain admin rights to the site and simply share the site with that other person as a "Team". I really wish this would be updated to transfer permanent ownership of the site, or even the ability to export and import Strikingly-created websites to share and duplicate easily. My alternative solution has been to completely recreate the site under my client's account and copy it inch by inch. Then, delete the old site on my side and they have an up and running version on their side. It's time consuming, but luckily Strikingly is simple so it's less complicated.

### "Great for a DIY website"

May 11, 2023

4.0

I would consider using strikingly again for a start-up, DIY website...however, knowing it's limitations and your vision for growth, it may not be the best platform.

Pros

I started using a Strikingly website that someone else set up. It is easy to modify the site's graphics or content, and to fill orders.

Cons

Sending marketing emails via the platform is an additional fee rather than included in the Pro website, which is frustrating. Also, the connectivity is limited. Strikingly does not connect with Zapier, so integrations are not really possible with our shipping platform and our CRM.

### "A very nice website building software"

December 21, 2022

5.0

If you're a new business and you're looking for a website building software, I would recommend strikingly because it has everything required to start and run your business smoothlyVery nice software for business or bloggers

Pros

First of all, I like the fact that it has a free plan and the free plan isn't restricted to just few features.I also like the fact that it has very nice website templates to choose from, I really love the templates, there are various templates for all kinds of business and that's really great.Another thing I like about this software is the fact that it helped me grow my contact list by collecting customers emails, I think that's a very nice thing for a website builder software.Lastly I like the fact that this software has a domain feature, where you could select or purchase a domain for your business.

Cons

It would really be nice if they could improve the ease of use, I don't like the fact that it's not easy to use, it's site is kind of confusing to use, there are lots of things I don't really understand when using the software.Aside from the ease of use, the software is a very nice one for building websites and finding domains for business.

### "Magnifica solucion web y dominio gratis"

December 17, 2022

5.0

Fácil de usar, tiene chat, control de audiencia, ediciones rápidas y se publica en instantes.

Pros

El diseño de la pagina de inicio es simple pero al entrar a la edicion de la web, Waoooo es impresionante la calidad de funciones que hay y lo maravilloso que puede simplicar la vida al crear una web.

Cons

No me gusta que para poder usar el chat, se tenga que pagar. Creo que es una de las funciones que muchas personas buscan de forma gratuita.

Support technique assez lent, pour des problèmes techniques important ne vous réponde pas (ils vous disent juste qu'ils s'en occupent. A l'heure d'aujourd'hui toujours pas résolu.

Pros

Cons

Support technique quasiment inexistant, vous laisse en plan sur des problèmes techniques graves venant de leur côté. Templates très basique, personnalisation pied de page plus que basique.
