2.5/5
What do you like best about Google Web Designer?

1 .Interface : Google has done a great job making a interface like most of adobe application. If you have experience with Premier or Illustrator than you are already a navigation expert here .Layers, Object alignment and many more things are there.

2. Free Of Cost, Available on all major platform , a lot of templates

3. The Application is useful in creating Animation and Ad with CSS3/HTML5 , No flash required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Web Designer?

Not good for making the whole page only good for animation and banner also it doesn't support loading your other web project you can only open a project made by this application .

Being a developer for the complete project I still prefer writing code in css/html with text editor where you have more control on the stuff and also if you don't have prior expedience with Adobe Creative Suite it is hard to come handy . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Tool for Many Things, Shortcomings for Banners"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Google Web Designer?

GWD allows many custom animations and full control over them. You can customize timelines, eases, and it's a simple tool to quickly learn dope sheet animation in a digital platform. There are several prepared widgets as well as the ability to customize and create your own widgets, so the tool is not only functional, but also highly customizable if you're ready to learn how to code, or already know how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Web Designer?

We primarily used GWD for banners and while creating a banner within GWD, seeing its estimated specs, looping it, and general animation was great, there were a few shortcomings.

* If you were not creating flexible sized banners, creating new sizes required starting from scratch for each size. I developed a proprietary tool to overcome this shortcoming in-house and it helped alleviate it, but some updates would break it.

* Support for multiple ad servers was limited by default. You always have access to the code, but by default GWD only supported Google's ad servers. This makes sense, but we needed to support about 12 others as well, so I created another tool to convert that, so our banner animators didn't have to dig into the code and pull it apart and recode clicktags.

* Support cross-platform was spotty. I implemented a full QA team to view our banners across popular browsers. Often something that just worked in Chrome would cause major animation errors in Safari, especially mobile Safari. We avoided using many techniques that were technically available because they didn't behave well cross-browser. We also avoided using real text for this same reason.

* We found that all banners created inside GWD were run as Rich Media, no matter the specs, animations, or any other selections we made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Web Designer?

For what I have used it for, I haven't encountered any issues. A few times it became slow, but I am not sure if I used too heavy documents (pictures, etc.) or if it was because of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
