Featured Reviews

James Dunne-Bennett - PeerSpot reviewer
Has saved time during website building and helps maintain a professional look
The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.
DM
It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.
