Homestead Reviews & Product Details

Ease of creating a website. Website builder is very easy to use, and easy to customize. Easy to set up and use. I just it for about 5 websites which I update monthly. Easy tointegrate videos and photos. It is easy to buy and set up new domains via homestead. Overall it is a good solid software, but does have some customer service issues. I have been using it for a VERY long time and have watched it grow and change. I believe it was about 22 years ago I started with it, and it has improved a lot over the years.

Customer support is lacking. When you have errors or problems, they encourage you to use a public support forum they have created to post your question, and getting an answer is hit and miss. I have phoned a few times and it can take a while on the phone (time I don't always have). It is impossible to delete a domain without getting an error and you have to phone each time. I wish they had a live chat to take care of things faster. Also, using google workspace via them is a pain, as you can't update your storage! I recommend setting it up on google workspace directly at google, as it will be easier to update things as you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Homestead because it is incredibly easy to use. This program has lots of professional looking templates you can choose from to make your site stand out. Great for those who aren't familiar with coding but still want to go with a DIY approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think There could be perhaps more options to customize templates to your liking, ie: arrangement & color selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you like building from scratch, you can with the older sitebuilder. New sites use website builder which is easier and mobile responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost increases too often. For people with older sites/accounts, its not a simple task to just change to the new website builder. If you have a site with over 200 pages like me, you would have to start from scratch to utilize the new website sitebuilder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite feature is the reporting tool which allows users to see how well their site is performing over time. This helps with optimization as the product I was using before did not tell me how and why my site wasn't performing so I could not improve it. Homestead is more clear and a better teacher.

My only issue is the installed version of homestead can be difficult to use and could be laid out better. Overall it was relatively easy for the tech savvy users but some of our staff who are less savvy found it quite complicated to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of building my website and the ease of switching over my domain, they made it super simple for me to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far I haven’t had any bad experiences with the company or products at this point and I hope not to in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Homestead makes it really easy to create a website. Homestead's control panel is quite well organized and you can quite easily add new pages, re-order your sitemap and edit your content. Homestead has a decent feature set offering both business and standard features. Another nice feature is their native blogging platform and set of ready-to-use widgets, such as forms, polls, albums, guestbooks, maps, and so on. There is a huge selection of website designs and templates. All colors and layouts are fully customizable. I also like that you can insert your own HTML code into specific areas such as the header or footer, for instance. Support for Homestead is good and there's a large Homestead community where you can view existing discussion threads and post your queries. Live support is also available.

I also like the fact that it is very easy to cancel your paid account at any time with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Another advantage is that Homestead has a very good reputation and is one of most trusted names in the website builder industry. Homestead websites are robustly built and operate seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it is quite easy to spin up a new website, one of the minor roadblocks is the sign-up process which does require your billing information. While, this is somewhat of an obstacle, it does ultimately prevent the system (and the web) clean from malicious spam and abandoned websites.

Homestead's website designs or templates are outdated and a bit long in the tooth. It's difficult to find something decent and innovative.

I don't really like the fact that there isn't really a free option with never-expiring accounts like most competing providers out there.

I also really don't like the fact that it is impossible to test with the Homestead interface without giving out your credit card information. This should not be the case any longer today.

Some more dislikes such as a lack of mobile-friendly solutions and responsive templates. Also, no support for user management capabilities and, again, boring templates requiring a significant overhaul. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best I like that this software is easy to use. And for recording, tracking and reporting mall sales by dealer using point of sale or batch is excellent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don not have anything which I currently disline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Homestead is a great software that enables people in our industry to flourish in our creativity. There are so many options to choose from to get the details you are looking for. This program surpasses many other design softwares and allows you to design homes efficiently. I’ve used this and I recommend it to people who desire to go to the Next level. Best for intermediate and experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Considering that I’m not an expert in designing with this software, it’s quite a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Homestead provides modern Templates and excellent support via phone. They are using Websitebuilder as their builder. It's a very helpful tool to develop a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The templates here are not mobile responsive, you have to use another builder to make your website responsive and you have to pay a fee for that. The cost is very high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy to use and edit templates make getting my information to customers faster. And the email and customer service is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With all things fast and easy you have to sacrifice some functionality or aesthetics. But you get what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
