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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

If you are looking for an easy website builder with many options and features, Strikingly is a wonderful option. However, if you are interested in a website builder that you can use with a monthly plan, you might be able to find a better deal elsewhere. If you are willing to pay for one year upfront, this is a great option. You can also try out most of the features for free, which is good to help you decide if you want to commit for a year.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great website building software"

5/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and Simple website builder for anyone"

4/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

I think the thing I like the best about this platform is that it's simple to use, and that you can use pre-made website designs to make a personal website, OR a blog...or anything in between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

One thing I dislike about this website builder is that there's no webcomic website builder/premade webcomic website. I would have really liked that because I really need one for myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

My recommendation for using this is to experiment, play around with all the features and take your time (It's free to start, so it's not like it costs anything to experiment!). Definitely look around at others and compare, but Strikingly does stack up better than its competitors in many ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some business problems I have is having an independent website, free from being based solely on social media (tumblr, twitter, etc). I quite enjoy having the benefits of being able to write down an easy URL to my own personal website for my art business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great website building site"

5/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

Remember that this is a primarily free product, so if you want to have more features, you have to be open to paying for them. It is very user friendly, but support is only available online. You must feel comfortable with the fact that it may take a while to get your questions answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for beginner with no desire to learn code."

3/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

Make sure you look at options before using Strikingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easier than Wordpress.. With a catch"

5/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

The ease of the software actually makes it harder for someone who is more adept at creating sites, because it'll slow their pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

I think in order to go all-in on this software, you have to self-analyze and tell yourself the answer to this question: "Am I adept at creating websites?" If the answer is yes, assess your skill level and then make a decision to buy this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty Straight Forward"

3/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

What I've found with many website builders is that their's either too much customize-ability or not enough. Strikingly seems to provide the right amount of freedom and structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

I dislike the fact that you have to upgrade in order to use some icons in the Strikingly library. Half of those icons you can find for free elsewhere. Super inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

My recommendation: Know exactly what you want before evaluating. Some people want maximum control over design, while others want a plug and play solution. Until you know where you fall on this spectrum, you won't be able to understand how a product can meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me, as a designer and soap maker, put together a nice website... I don't have one of those just yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool to create one page websites."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

You can create modern and beautiful single-page websites adapted to mobile devices. It has a variety of templates ordered by categories. Easy to use editor, just dragging and dropping. It uses an intuitive "section" editor that facilitates work for a single page, so, anyone can create a website in a very short time, is not necessary to have coding knowledge. you can create a simple store, just activate the integrated e-commerce section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

You can't customize the themes so much, only basic elements such as color. You can add a contact form on your website, but it does not allow you to add new fields. the "sections" require you to have a header and a subtitle, which can not be deleted. doesn't have a preview function in design mode. don't allow you to publish posts automatically like WordPress. In a free plan the domains have the finished "strikingly.com" Encoding can't be customized whitout one of the paid plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strikingly:

A great option for those who do not have coding skills can create websites easily and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast and easy creation of one-page websites, without the need for coding, and with tools such as e-commerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Web Design with Low Experience"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Strikingly?

- number of templates that are clean and well-designed

- monthly plans are fairly cheap, however weebly is cheaper

- you can also use a free account if you don't want to use the premium version

- stats are provided to view how your website is performing

- if your needs are basic the free version is fine, but you can also use a free trial or subscribe to the premium version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strikingly?

- there are cheaper options available but they also offer a free trial if you want to try out the premium features and compare it to competitors before committing to a plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Strikingly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good if you're making a website for yourself whether its a store, personal blog, or are making a website for a client or family member. It's also great if you need to make a website for work with other individuals because if the people you're collaborating with don't have web design experience, its fairly simple to use this tool.
