  • Analytics and built-in SEO is handy integrated features. The whole structure building process is a simple drag and drop. Prebuilt templates are professional and appealing designed. It supports custom fonts and mobile-friendly web designing.

Cons

  • After a number of years, we moved away from this for our primary school website, as we wanted something we could build out into a dynamic app as well. I wish there was a way to make modifications to pages without them being immediately live.
  • Should you have a specific question, it can be difficult to immediately reach customer service.
  • Subscription price is very expensive and not ideal for long term.
  • Sometimes speed is low otherwise everything is perfect, good software.
