What I like best is that it is a very intuitive tool. You can easily build a website or shop within seconds without any programming knowledge.
What I dislike is that even with an upgraded (paid) version, it does not include all necessary functions that for example an Online Shop needs. For example the payment methods are limited and if one wants to integrate a payment provider like Stripe one has to pay for it on top. Plus, the payment providers one can implement are limited, so one cannot choose any payment provider.
We build a website for the soccer team at our university.
Very easy to manage pages, construction, and eCommerce features. Very easy to link other facets of my business' digital footprint.
Store is limited to Paypal and Stripe payment processing: eCommerce sites lack versatility.
Web-store. Ecommerce.
For building a basic web page, it's "ok". Honestly, that's being kind. They charge more than most competitors for a service which comes nowhere close to competing functionally.
They don't bother sending renewal invitations and instead just take a full year's subscription from recurring payments. Pricing does state renewable for a year but they quote in monthly fees to appear competitive. Trying to cancel is a nightmare, which means you end up renewing without wanting to and then they quote their cancellation terms when it's too late.
I'm mainly resolving the problem of having money in a bank account. Their service is worthless. Avoid it.
