What users say about Sitely Pro

moritzg98
By moritzg98 on Feb 16 2022 for v.4.0.3

Value: 5.0

I have worked with Wordpress for many years in conjunction with the Elementor plugin. Sparkle not only gives me more options in design, but also saves time in setup and makes the complete workflow much easier. All in one step.

Features: 4.0

I was particularly impressed with the extremely good image compression depending on the actual delivered size of the image on the website. Incredible performance and saves hours of work.

Customer support: 5.0

And if a problem does arise, there is a really exceptionally fast and competent email support that often comes around the corner with a solution in a few hours. Even on weekends.

I have been creating websites for years - both for my own use and on commission. Without HTML knowledge there is little or nothing possible for many applications. Without naming all the manufacturers and thus criticizing them..., the selection of web design programs is very clear. And the all courted Wordpress is not really user friendly. I have known Sparkle for years and have worked with it from time to time. But since the current version 4 I am just thrilled! Why? It is a super experience based on the Wysiwyg principle and it works. Fast, easy and very clear. Anytime from everywhere I can access the web file, put it on my server, vary it, save it in different versions etc.. In case of ambiguities or questions, the support is fast - "very fast"! ;-) And I'm not exaggerating with that. Rarely have I experienced such fast and accurate support. In today's fast-paced times, this is absolutely not a matter of course. As for security, I am grateful to Sparkle that my fonts are stored "warning-proof" in the web file and also the cookie policy is wonderfully integrated in the web file! So a big thank you to Duncan from Sparkle! Please keep up the good work and keep updating. Alan

I was having issues updating a website originally built with Sparkle. There were all kinds of complicating issues, none of which had to do with Sparkle (as it turned out). Sparkle tech support patiently helped me get things working again. Most impressive was the rapid response, and on a weekend, no less! Glad I purchased the upgrade subscription and will do it again.

I honestly did not want to leave anything in "what needs improvement" because so far, nothing does. I was a die-hard iWeb user, and continued using it until about a year ago, when I lost the one file that allows you to update. A year of searching for a replacement left me despondent and uninspired. Then I found Sparkle. Wow. The templates are visually stunning, it is a joy to work with, and the customer service absolutely excellent. I created an amazing new site that is getting lots of appreciation and I love how easy it is to move things around, make changes, and get the results I want. This is by far, in my opinion, the very best web template for creative people on macs. I am helping some friends build their sits in Sparkle as well.
