By using Strikingly, our nonprofit was able to build a beautiful, simple and functional website at an affordable price. Also, their customer service is great.
There are limitations in terms of types of sections you can add to your website, but that is to be expected when using a pre-designed template.
We have an easy to update website! We used to have to wait for our website guy to go in and update certain parts of the site. Now with Strikingly, I can update things on my own without waiting for anyone’s help.
That I didn’t have to guess on if they were going to do a good job, they have a great reputation and backed that up when providing services for me.
The cost was a bit on the steep end, but you get what you pay for. If you want a high quality product you have to be willing to pay for that quality.
We are now accessible online, something we weren’t able to do before.
What I love most about Strikingly is the ease of use. I am currently in the process of designing a website to sell items online and I love that I can do this on my own. With a few easy steps I have been able to create the look and feel of a website that I am happy with and hope my customers will come to know and love as well.
The thing that I dislike the most is the lack of free fonts. I mean, I totally get that I am not paying for the PRO service, but I would love more fonts to chose from. I am not complaining, just wish that there were a few more to work with. Same I guess goes for the colors and such, although that I am able to customize to my liking.
I was really contemplating on how I can create a website design that will get my small business off the ground without too much overhead and cost out the gate. Strikingly was a better platform than the others that I have tried, and am happy that I came across it when I did.
Very simple to use and I've tried them all. Low-cost structure, great user dashboard, immediate customer service response and a wide array of available templates to choose from.
So far nothing negative too report. I have not experienced any roadblocks or problems thus far after 2 months of daily use. I've read negative reviews on other sites but I have not had any problems.
With this new startup I originally had a technical cofounder to deal with all of this but we had a falling out and he left the company leaving me to deal with all of this myself and so far Strikingly has been great.
What I enjoyed the most out of this software was how easy it was to create a website that was easy for our customer to navigate at an effective price.
This software isn’t as well known for web design so not too many reviews came from the site to help decide to use the software initially.
It was easier to stay in touch with our customers and to help them reach out to us for our services.
I like that Strikingly is extremely easy to use. I have found many website builders to be very complicated and thankfully this is not the case when it comes to Strikingly. Also, for being so easy to use, it actually offers a lot of features of options for anyone. When setting up your website, it asks what the main purpose of the website will be and includes a variety of templates for each option. I love the amount of options and how professional any website looks when using Strikingly. You can easily integrate the website with your social media as well, which is another great feature. I also love that you can get 3 months free if you have a college email address.
I am definitely not a fan of the pricing. It seems as though the only way to get a good deal is to pay annually instead of monthly, so anyone looking to pay monthly might find a better deal elsewhere. I also wish they had more customer service options for the lower plans, as it seems as though the best customer service is only guaranteed for the VIP plan subscribers. Customer service is something that should be a priority for all.
Strikingly is great for me to use to promote my business, as well as design and host a blog. As a blogger, I am constantly looking for new and improved ways to run my blog. With Strikingly, I find it easy to keep an updated and effortless look.
Strikingly is easy to sign up and get started. You literally are editing your website within minutes of entering your name, email, and password (which by the way is all you need to enter). Other nice features: · Clean layouts to choose from. · Easy to modify text fields. · easy to customize button text and color. · Responsive text editor. · You can build a FREE one-page website.
You cannot truly customize your site how you would like. Strikingly works great if you are completely happy with the layout of the site you pick and do not wish to modify the location of the logo for example. Limitations: · You cannot drag/move items around the page where you would like them. · Limited integrations. There are very few apps that you can integrate (you can use custom HTML). · The FREE versions allows you to only have one page. · The cost is high for what you would get at other competitors for the same or more options.
I was testing the product but I could see if someone needed a quick, free one-page website where this would come in handy. Otherwise, I would recommend another option where you have more control and flexibility (to add more pages for example).

I have been using Strikingly for several years. Recently I decided to cancel the account. After cancelling the service was terminated immediately even though I still had 24 days left in the 1 month subscription, for which I have paid. During the cancellation process on the website it was not clearly mentioned that the service will be stopped not at the end of the subscription period but immediately after the cancellation. That means that if you want to cancel Strikingly and still use the 1 month subscription, for which you have paid, you have to remember to cancel your subscription on the very last day. If you forget to do so, your subscription will be automatically renewed for 1 more month. I am sure this is convenient for Strikingly but definitely not convenient for their customers. When using other subscription services (Amazon, Spotify, etc) usually after cancellation you can still use the service until the end of the subscription period. I complained to customer service but they did not want to extend my subscription for the remaining 24 days for which I have paid and told me that I have to pay for a new subscription if I want to use the service. There are other similar solutions on the market with better features than Strikingly for the same price and without the tricky customer policies which are unfavourable for the customer. Strikingly is not competitive compared to alternatives. UPDATE: After sending customer service my reviews for Strikingly they finally granted me with free 1 month subscription to compensate for the 24 days that I was not able to use. Still I spend quite a lot of time messaging with customer services and they did not want to grant my request or considered it fair before sending them the reviews.
