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

  • Workfolio used to be a good company. I had a website with them for six years and until this year they were easy to work with but they changed. I'm dumbfounded at their poor values when they had been such a good company.

Cons

  • Since 2018 I’ve been paying for a website with Workfolio and even though there’s been no change to my credit card and no communication that payment hasn’t been received, Workfolio allowed my Internet domain to expire causing my website to disappear from the Internet. Workfolio has been in charge of renewing my Internet domain as part of the service I pay for each year in October. Now, not only have I lost the website I paid for until October 2023, Workfolio hasn’t responded to my requests for information. They also did not respond to the Better Business Bureau who tried to contact them on my behalf. History of events (I also have screenshots of each email described below and a screen shot of proof of payment for the Workfolio subscription.) 2018 1. I received an email telling me my Internet domain was about to expire and I emailed Workfolio to make sure they were handling it 2. Workfolio support agent emailed me back and said I didn’t need to worry, they handled the domain renewal for subscriptions that were up-to-date 2019 1. I received an email telling me my Internet domain was about to expire and I emailed Workfolio to make sure they were handling it 2. Workfolio support agent emailed me back and said I didn’t need to worry because they handled the domain renewal for subscriptions that were up-to-date 2020 1.
