Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like the $2000 template I bought and the design options are limitless, but there's a strong learning curve.
  • On one hand, there's adequate design freedom with this platform, which is it's biggest advantage. If you're good with design, shout will be a satisfying platform to work with.
  • For the free form single-landing page-only person, I can see this being a fun experiment, but ultimately this is NOT a robust platform. You will struggle to manage it in the long term and it is not scalable as your business grows.

Cons

  • Customer Service is horrible and they're aren't even sorry about it.
  • There is almost zero support when compared to competitors like Squarespace. If you're accustomed to using the Squarespace chat function and having people willing and able to help you learn the platform, Showit will put you in for a rude awakening. I needed to hide a page in advance of a product launch. I had to email a support person, and they got back to me 3 hours later. Their answer was, in essence: sorry, you can't do that. When I asked for a way to work around this or if they had any ideas, they didn't bother to respond. This is relevant because most people don't have time to learn a new platform from the ground up and become an expert. Squarespace at least provides the support necessary to help solve individual problems, and provides people who work with you. Showit, on the other hand, feels cheap in the sense that they leave you out in the cold. Additionally, there are just fewer resources available for learning the platform. There's guides of course, but with a company this size, one would think they'd understand they need to fill the gap between Squarespace and themselves - Squarespace is an enormous company and there's countless you tubers, bloggers, and resources available to learn to work with their program. Showit has barely anything available in comparison, resulting in frustrating setback after frustrating setback as you try to learn the new software. Why they wouldn't invest more in educational resources, or as mentioned above (!) individual customer support, is beyond me.
  • This web editor was extremely frustrating. It's for advanced users only who understand the implications of complete design freedom on the page. Doubles the work for desktop and mobile views, terrible (no) form features with only free text one option for field types, no standard spacing, every element must be rearranged if there are changes to content. This is honestly the worst web builder I've used outside of Wordpress.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • WordPress has proven to be a very useful platform when creating a web page from scratch, the main positive aspect that must be highlighted within this platform is that it has an excellent plugin system, this system allows you to install new plugins that allow you to extend your experience within the platform, it is important to highlight that the amount that you can install within your WordPress subscription is completely unlimited, which allows you to extend your experience to the maximum, in addition, the configuration of the Plugins is quite simple for any user. The second positive aspect that WordPress has is the templates section, it is quite useful since it offers you free templates for your website, the free templates offered within this section of WordPress have a quite optimal design, which is quite easy to configure and allows you to obtain a very complete site in a few hours, however, you can also import new templates from your computer to insert a much more complete design for the web page. Another positive aspect is that Wordpress allows all users to configure the means of the website, the entries, the blog of the page, configure the logo of each template and much more, really the configurations that can be made within Wordpress are quite a lot. eye-catching and help me that you can set up a fairly complete site. Wordpress also allows you to configure the subdomains of the web, configure the WWW prefix and you can also configure all the sections of a page.
  • Huge selections of free and premium themes. Extensive library of documentation. Simple to get up and running by just changing text and images.
  • * I had been using other site building platforms, but most of these site builders regardless of whether it is paid or not almost all allow you to create a very simple website so there is not much you can do other than the simple editing that those sites have There are platforms that can implement code and that elements can be interacted with code, making everything much easier and without requiring any installation to be able to use it, but I consider that WordPress is more complete because it gives greater freedom when building a site from scratch. In addition to the fact that the implementation of code for more advanced users is very essential, which is possible to use them in WordPress without any problem. * The way to create a website without implementing a single command or code is very nice and allows anyone with a small business to create a website without having to learn all the interface and its different elements that they can be added on the website, thus making it accessible to everyone. This platform also offers a hosting service allowing you not to need to configure a server and its different configurations, but simply choose a plan, select certain parameters and everything will already be in the cloud, which is also worth noting that you have backup copies. and that privacy is maintained since each user has protection against attacks and that their information and the files hosted on the created website are kept safe. There are also different sites that allow you to create websites with WordPress and that have personal web hosting without having to use WordPress hosting, so it may or may not be cheaper or more expensive, it would depend on the user and your needs as well as how much security you require. * I can have multiple versions of a created website and also be able to assign a name to it in order to have a better administration when I am making changes or updating a created website, so I don't have problems if a version fails because I will always have the version where everything was working properly without losing anything in the process. So I also have automatic backup copies that WordPress itself makes and that has a long capacity of time, so if I did not make a copy of the most recent version of the website created then I can go to the history of automatic backups and I will have everything there without fear that time has passed and they have been deleted since it has a long period of backup copies for practical use in cases of loss or something that did not work well after the last update of the website.
  • WordPress is an incredible tool to be able to create a web page from scratch, we have used this platform of our company to be able to edit and create new pages for that company, one of the main features that I liked about this platform is the great variety of plugins that allows me to install within it, that platform allows me to install more than 10 flows within my WordPress account, therefore, these plugins help to extend my experience within this platform and also allow me to extend the edition and the customization of my website, I have loved the great compatibility that Wordpress has with all kinds of plugins, in addition, This platform allows me to search for any type of plugins online, but it also allows you to install any plugin that I have stored on my computer thanks to the plugin import system. Another feature that I liked about this platform is that it has an integrated web page creation or customization system, with this system you can create and edit a page as a drag and drop system, this editing system is quite easy to use. use and allows you to fully edit the page, but also gives you the ease of installing a website builder by installing the plugin, I have loved the fact that I can install new plugins that better at editing my website. Another of the features that I liked about this platform is the low consumption it has on computers, in another touch when configuring my WordPress system, the experience and I uploaded it from my computer is not affected at any time, In addition, when it comes to customizing my website and inserting new elements into my website in this editor, the experience on my computer is not affected either, for which reason, I have loved the fact that WordPress does not consume as much resources of the computer while the web page editing system works, this is innovative to be able to create a page without any kind of delay.
  • + The best part of this platform is being able to host any website for free, obviously having limitations, however I consider that it is very complete in offering its hosting service and its web builder tool without any problem and for any type of business . + It has more templates than any website builder on the market. This is very useful for inexperienced people as it allows you to speed up the process by being able to choose a theme for your business website without so many complications. + Plugins are a good tool as they allow the site creator more freedom to do many things that are not available in the WordPress web editor. I recommend that you hire an expert on this subject since it is a delicate section and if you already have knowledge of plugins, be careful because there are drawbacks with this tool, but that would go into the negative aspects of this platform. + The control panel is very complete, there is nothing that cannot be controlled in a website when it is being created or managed. This is very useful as it allows you to customize every aspect of the site without running into walls that do not allow you to perform certain actions, but this is not the case with WordPress. + It has backup copies depending on the plan will be the frequency of the backup copies, this will be very useful for me because I had a problem with certain versions of my website which I was able to solve with the backup copies and leave everything as it was before of the problem occurring.

Cons

  • The first negative point is that Wordpress does not have any kind of way to reset the system when you want to start from scratch, there is no kind of configuration so that you can delete all your progress from the Wordpress account to start a site from scratch, this causes that if you want to start from scratch you have to install a Plugin to remove everything or remove everything manually. Another negative thing is that Wordpress is very complex to use, you have to learn a lot to use this tool correctly and not present bugs in the pages or templates that you install within Wordpress. The last negative point is that Wordpress does not allow multiple editing sessions, if you want to edit your website only you can do it at the same time, there will be no other participants editing the site.
  • Customizability varies with themes, and no size fits all. Documentation does not apply to all themes, so library is hit or miss. Templates difficult to modify for working "outside of the box". User interface is geared to the novice, making it difficult to customize.
  • * There is no safe way that WordPress can immediately detect the injection of malicious code to my website through plugins or templates, this makes any website that I want to create and that when I take shortcuts using plugins or templates has to wait up to a week doing tests so that both WordPress and myself can detect if the website has unwanted changes through some code that harms the website that I am creating. So, this makes me consider two possible paths, try different templates or plugins until I get something safe or simply do everything from scratch and have personal templates prepared to maintain the integrity and security of each website created. Also, this does not apply to me but to every individual or person who wants to use WordPress as a website editor. * The templates that this platform brings are too outdated and are not very functional, in addition to the way in which the templates are made it seems that they do not adapt to the web model that exists today, so a site can seem very obsolete web if you want to work based on the free templates that WordPress has. The way in which I can have updated templates is that I use third-party templates which are much more modern than the templates of this platform, but I can also have a security problem when exposing myself to themes that have malicious code as I mentioned before, making me have to take risks or do everything from scratch. * Being able to document is very difficult if you want to use WordPress as a website creator since the documentation of this platform does not provide many examples for the use of all the functionalities, tending that the user has to take courses, search the community or use platforms like YouTube to be able to be guided by the best practices to create a professional website and also obtain better performance. I would recommend that WordPress have a learning space or tutorials that allow any type of user to be able to easily train themselves in how to use the tools that this platform offers effectively and thus be able to take full advantage of it, being able to create the best websites that work. and they look very professional.
  • WordPress is quite a powerful platform when it comes to creating a website from scratch, it has many tools and many configurations that allow you to create a fairly complete website, however, the main negative feature that I have noticed about this platform is that It is quite difficult to configure for the first time, in addition, the installation system of themes and templates is quite complicated to use, therefore, we see that they always have complexity when it comes to adapting to this system of using themes or templates. Therefore, I believe that Wordpress should create a much easier system to be able to insert templates or insert a theme within the web page that is being created. Another thing I didn't like about Wordpress is that despite the fact that this website builder offers a pretty good and powerful service, I still consider this tool to be much more expensive than any other that exists on the market. , I consider that the functionalities that it offers are quite good and positive for any company, and help me to create a very personalized website, but the prices are not the best, it offers extremely high prices compared to its competition.
  • - It requires great knowledge to use this platform, it is not for nothing that it is possible to create any website without any limits. When I started using WordPress, everything was confusing, the configuration is extremely difficult and preparing everything to only use the editor takes a long time to master this platform. - Beware of malicious plugins, there is too much exposure to danger within this platform, keep in mind that not all malicious plugins can be detected by WordPress as I had a bad experience with this which at no time did the panel notify me that I had a plugins that obtained important data from my site and I realized it was from other sources, I am not saying that the protection of this site is bad but it can be vulnerable in certain cases. - The way in which an image gallery can be displayed is very limited, there are practically few ways in which I can display photos on my website, it can be solved with a bit of web programming, however it is not the idea since practicality is required when making a Nocode website. - It takes time to install a theme sold by a third party. I had a really hard time being able to apply a theme as I didn't want to start from scratch. However, I was not able to achieve this goal because most of the themes I found to suit my website had plugins that hindered the performance of my company's website. So I had to build the website in parts and add similar features to other themes to have the ideal website for my company without compromising or corrupting anything.
