@andrianv Hello! How can I edit the content and add my own text and images? I tried on the demo and I can't see how.
@marc_tison @maxim_kirpichev I can't code... Are you working on the possibility of editing the text directly ie without exporting?
This looks great. I've found myself moving everything to Tailwind recently and loving it. I wish you had a version of Startup for Tailwind.
@gregghoush Any reason why you chose Tailwind? We are using some bootstrap and writing a lot of our own css. Wanted to understand how you compared the two plugins.
@varun_agarwal1 I used to love Bootstrap for how quick and easy it made it to get started. But lately, I don't want someone elses designs. I love Tailwind CSS's utility classes. It lets me do whatever I want, and most of their defaults for color palettes, shadows, fonts, and everything else are just great.
But If I wasn't using Tailwind, I also wouldn't be using Bootstrap. I would be using Bulma. In my opinion, it's a better library. Fully Sass-based, use only what you want, and no javascript, a single small CSS file. It's also beautiful.
With bootstrap, you get locked into this idea of using the patterns that are out there, the defaults that others have come up with. Or even themes that others have created. Sure you can override the defaults and restyle its UI components. But by the time you've started doing that, why are you still using Bootstrap?
Will, when I have used it longer
Pros:This is beautiful interface!
Cons:Cant think of any yet.
I'm a designer who knows just enough to navigate around basic code and their (Designmodo) products are top notch both from a design & UX perspective and from the simplistic implementation of the backend coding. I've used almost all their products in multiple iterations of releases. You can easily create a top-notch looking website in a matter of hours. The generator app which allows you to build the general layout and sections of your website is awesome. You can then export the code and have a great starting point to tweak and customize your website to your hearts content. Customer service is also very good. They often respond within minutes of your questions via their live chat feature. Being a person that is not a developer, I often ask very basic questions which I would assume most developers know but they are always willing to help me every step of the way.
Pros:Designmodo products are top notch both from a design & UX perspective and from the simplistic implementation of the backend coding.
Cons:Just add more designs :D
@danirogerc @faqimi_fauzi @alexanderspoor Hey guys! I have created an exclusive discount for limited time.
Please use the coupon code: PH25 during checkout, save 25%.
@ayoub_hakdaoui Nope, sorry 😕 Best saying: we have not tested, but you can test on demo version 😀
I've used Slides by Designmodo before. Beautiful and relatively easy. They are great alternatives to Wix and Weebflow if you want complete control and manage your own hosting. Startup 3 looks like a solid entrant.
Yes, some code knowledge is needed. Or hire someone who knows what they're doing =)
@maxim_kirpichev yes i follow your progress of this. I was mind-blown how beautiful the site design is and also i'm checking out the prices & how to build it quickly currently. Congratulations to the team
Reminds me of Weblium. Very nice UI. However, the price seems a bit high for its current capabilities. Can you speak a little bit more about how you plan to further develop Startup 3 and what sorts of features/value adds you plan on releasing in the future?
@hiramfromthechi Hi, I can't offer details, you know... But, we'll add more designs with different categories, for example, blogs and e-commerce. Also, we'll extend the App functionality (*secret features).
Beautiful Designs.
But,
Am I missing something? Because there seems to be no FAQ section option anywhere @andrianv
I mean it's really awesome & amazing - I'm really wordless!!!! Will test drive at all our new startups!
Does it have a payment integration system? Is it easy to rank?
Pros:Amazing designs and extremely simple
Cons:Can't find any yet
Looks good, haven't tried it out as yet. In the Pricing model, what is the *access to demo components* mean. Could you elaborate? I found it a bit confusing to understand. On one hand it says full access to all features but then says Demo components for the free plan.
Might be good to just mention HTML export feature in the pricing model section as well. Its written in 2 other places but sometimes people like me just like to skip to the pricing section to get a summary of features.
@varun_agarwal1 We offer a few pre-designed blocks for free. So, using these blocks, you can test the App features (we don't limit the features for free blocks). We'll add the "unlimited exports" to pricing table, thank you for the suggestion!
@andrianv OK so the features you refer to are actually actions you can do WITH the blocks? Because the works *all features* is quite encompassing. Maybe you could play around with the wording and ask other people. My suggestion would be to say *Limited components/ blocks* and then something like *Access to all blocks/ components or templates*
I'm excited about using this to quickly generate and test out a few landing pages before we launch our actual upcoming website!
Pros:Just bought it, love the simplicity of the tool!
Cons:I wish that the list of names of fonts would actually be in their individual font so I don't have to go through them one by one
