Strikingly Pros and Cons
- Fantastic customer support
- Plans support multiple websites
- User-friendly interface
- Not a lot to offer for SEO
- The free version is very limited
- There’s a cap on how many products you could sell per plan
I just love the idea of not having to CODE HTML on a keyboard typing speed 80WPM by heart. Strikingly, as a graphic designer who does a lot of web work, is a godsend. See joshknoll.com
My chosen animated stock photo background GIF was discontinued and I had to change it out ... they didn't warn me that my site was defunct, so I have no idea how long it was.
I was able to pull over data from LinkedIn which was paramount in getting a professional web site pulled together that showcases my true career positionings. I had spent so much time inputting the data into LinkedIn over the years, it was nice to be able to use that pool of work and seamlessly transport it into a working website -- www.joshknoll.com :)
Ease of use in combination with beautiful templates and stock photos!
l would love if the booking tool could have customizable time slots.
I am designing websites faster than ever before and with much more confidence!
The best thing about Strikingly is their support team. They are so on the ball & super quick to respond. If they are away or offline/closed they redirect you to super helpful articles.
They only allow you to have 3 fonts per website. I like to use different fonts periodically on different pages within my website so it is a tad limited.
Strikingly is where we built our website and how people can find us.
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.
The step by step build through the website even while having access to move freely
The layouts and templates are very limited and it could use some more options
Building customer websites and our company website
I love how wildly simple it is to use Strikingly. You can micromanage/customize every aspect of your site if you wish, or you can pick a quick template, import your information from LinkedIn and be ready to publish in minutes. The templates are eye-catching and there is a lot to choose from, even in the free version.
The site editor does sometimes get "stuck" when I make changes, which means I have to reload the entire page. Other than the occasional sluggishness, I don't really have any complaints about it!
Personally, I don't have time to micromanage multiple websites, yet I do need to have separate sites for the work I do. Strikingly allows me to have an easily accessible personal site, which frees me up to focus on the other websites I really need to micromanage.
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.
I really like that you can build a website for free, but you have the option to pay for advanced options. It is really easy to use for someone who is not able to build their own website from scratch.
For the most part, I really like the website/software. However, I wish it provided more flexibility to customize an existing template. There are 28 templates, which seems like a lot, but I have found it to be slightly limiting.
I am trying to start up my own small business venture, so I am limited in the amount of funds that I can utilize. This seems to be filling the gap for me until my business grows.
I think the thing I enjoyed the most about my small business page I created was its ease of use for mobile websites. Everything I did was mobile friendly
The ease of the software actually makes it harder for someone who is more adept at creating sites, because it'll slow their pace.
I am solving the problem I had with a lot of my small business pages being un-uniformed. I like everything that I personally do to have a seamless look.
