@ashitvora Hello, Ashit. When was the last time you did a site there, and how long did it take?
How much money do you spend each month on WebFlow?

@ashitvora Ashit, it looks good. How often do you edit something in it?

I love Webflow, once you get the hand of it you can create websites which don't have that website-builder feel!

@rhyswebber01 Hello, Rhys! Webflow is awesome. Are there any things that you don’t love about Webflow?
@rhyswebber01 I created website using WordPress before some months. Lot of work is pending.
I want to build websites easily without thinking much tech stuff.

@atulghorpade Hey Atul. Can we have a conversation on Zoom to chat about your previous experience?
@shashcoffe Hey Alexey, I notice you're building a landing page builder! Personal preference, I'd look at creating features which allow you to create design systems & style guides easily. With Webflow, you can add classes, but I'd love dedicated features 😄
@rhyswebber01 Frankly, I don't have good experience in CMS. But, if you have some work/opportunity for SEO, we can definitely talk.
It highly depends on your niche and goals. Website builders are so many these days, but you should choose one that best meets your needs. For instance, if you consider the e-learning niche, I would like to share https://uteach.io/ which is a website constructor for creators and offers e-learning tools, features, and solutions.

@vera_mirzoyan Great answer, Vera! Thank you. What was the last time you built a website on it?
@shashcoffe I work on Uteach, so I make use of it on daily basis. What I want to emphasize is the consideration of the availability of required tools on the website builder. And what I highlight as well is the SEO functionality, as I consider website optimization the second duty after generating the platform.

@shashcoffe it took me about 2 hours. I used to be a software engineer and a product manager. So all these things to me are easy piece. To me, the hardest part is about content writing. Hope it helps.

@shashcoffe https://www.ideaio.xyz/ here you go. Let me know if you have feedback or any thoughts.
I don't know much about Website builder but I know a company which is Software Product Development Company and has launched Apps like CereKart(Online Ordering System), CereHome(On-Demand Home-Service App), CereConsult(Online Consultation App). They do develop apps and customize the above products I mentioned.

Currently using umso, good but a bit frustrated when I see websites built on webflow
FromNotion
@ph_hersen Hey Paul! Thanks for your interesting reply. Why do you feel frustrated? Because Webflow’s websites are looking better than Umso’s?
@shashcoffe Exactly. Looking better + faster + more dynamic + more professionnal. Same thing for the blog part. But as I have other stuff to do than changing our website builder, I stay on Umso. But can't wait to change ! Yet, I still think Umso was the perfect choice for the first months, easy to deploy, free image libraries, custom html blocks...
(I use https://chrome.google.com/websto... to know the website builder)
FromNotion
@ph_hersen Got it. Make sense. Thanks for the answer.
Paul, can we chat a little about your experience with building websites for your projects? I’m curious about the most challenging part you faced and what have you done to try. I’m trying to find out the critical problem in that field. Can we have a Zoom call?
@shashcoffe Yes sure, please add me on linkedin (link in my profile)
