Siteglide Reviews

Flexible platform that allows you to build without restraints.

No real complaints, new features are being added constantly, so it takes time to keep up with the changes. But this is not a bad thing.

There are obviously many platforms to consider. The team at Siteglide are focused on providing the best possible platform and are open to suggestions that make sense for the community as a whole. Questions and issues are addressed in a manner that leaves the partner feeling that their input is important.

Providing a platform for building sites that meet the clients needs.

In short, we have yet to run into ANY feature or client requirement that Siteglide couldn't handle. Web apps, Liquid, GraphQL, and Zapier integration create almost unlimited extensibility. The added fact that the Siteglide team are all pleasant, intelligent, accountable and (amazingly) responsive people, makes working on this platform a genuine delight.

Honestly, not much. But, we do look forward to seeing the continued refinement to both the features and the overall client experience when using Siteglide. (It can never be easy enough.)

Siteglide actually let us provide an upgrade to our clients that were recently migrated (thrown?) off of Adobe Business Catalyst. The ability of Siteglide to easily integrate a client's website activity and data, with other online services, helps us to build even better solutions for our clients going forward.

A very customizable platform compared to business catalyst's inflexible and frustrating design. The layouts for multiple elements on the platform are easily accessible so that you can customize almost anything that outputs onto a web page. The same applies to email and web form customizations. Most important is the customer service. They have been beyond helpful since the day we started using the platform and have played a large part in the success of our company launching a rather large site. Through excellent communication, quick response times, and even working outside of regular hours, the Siteglide staff have shown me a true dedication to customer satisfaction. Lastly the best feature is that the platform is still evolving. There are more good things to come by sticking with Siteglide

You still can not use a webapp's base URL, unfortunately. The main url of a webapp should be a landing page but siteglide unfortunately does not let you access it. This means that many user of the platform including our company have had to set up many URL redirects to try and ensure that our SEO doesn't literally tank.

Siteglide is still evolving. There may even be features you feel are missing. Just put in a feature request, and the community can vote on it. If it is popular enough, then Siteglide will likely add it to the calendar for implementation. That's one of my favorite things about this platform. They actually listen to the community. In my opinion that is a priceless feature any company could offer.

I can customize layouts and designs due to the openness and flexibility of the platform. One example is Business catalyst was limited to one sitewide workflow notification. With Siteglide I can customize multiple workflow notifiations depecning on which administrators I wish to receive them. Another benefit is better integrated product subscriptions in the ecommerce. The ecommerce in itself is just better as well with better shipping and pricing customizations, better store layout capabilities, and better cross product selling.

Siteglide allows my team and I to get our projects from a blank page to a live site in no time at all, with a seamless user experience all the way up.

One of the best things about Siteglide for us is the range of projects that we can have on the platform. Ranging from a small single pager to a full-blown application. Not only that, but it caters to all experience levels in my team. You can really get down in the details, or stay high level, and keep out of code as much as you can.

The technologies of GraphQL & Liquid work excellently together, in a way that makes working on projects, just that little bit easier.

Haven't really got any major complaints with the platform. Due to the flexibility in the platform, I can do pretty much anything I need to without having to use external providers

The documentation is a great place to look to get started on your first project, it helps us get our new team members up and running with minimal friction

One of our biggest problems has been making and managing APIs. With Siteglide, we are able to get an API up and running in a matter of minutes. This is something we have never found on any other platform.

On any other platform, it is a significant amount of work to get even a single API endpoint up and running. On Siteglide however, it is as simple as creating the page, adding your authentication, and finalising any logic you need the endpoint to handle. All in all, a great solution to a problem that would cost far more on other platforms.

The most relevant feature is the SAAS functionality. Neither I nor my clients like to tinker with servers, settings, upgrades, compatibilities, etc. A system like this gives me and my clients a safety blanket that should we part our ways, parting is as quick as assigning a new partner, which can be done within minutes. With other systems it can be a a lengthy and painful process. The system also provides a clear profit format. The support is readily available and helpful. The documentation is well structured and organized. Siteglide provides a continuation of a system that is no longer available to clients yet which clients learned to like. It gives these clients a familiar structure to work with and less time wasted learning a new system.

It is still a new system, hence it is defficient in some areas until it developes them. It relies on sone external resources to allow users to achieve functionality that BC used to have in house. This contributes to additional costs and complexity of learning and relying on things that may change independantly. The way usage efects the cost is not intuitive or predictive. One can't tell how much it will cost to run the system until it is all developped and done, when it is too late to change one's mind and decide if it is too costly and would be to better use a different solution. It has to be a leap of faith and a conviction that the cost, whatever it is, is worth the other benefits.

If you are looking for a maintenance-free SAAS solution to run and administer your website, this is a solution for you. If you are an agency looking for the same and a way to make profit on hosting, this is also a solution for you.

Problems I am solving are not to have to learn a completely different system and that I am providing my clients with a system they can get familiar with quickly. These are also the benefits I have realized.

The ability to create any project no matter how complex.

There are no downsides to using siteglide

Our clients all have unique requirements, which are mostly solved using Siteglide's out-of-the-box functionality. This functionality includes customizable components such as secure zones, media downloads, eCommerce, and best of all, webapps - which are similar to database tables. Webapps are used to display the stored data anywhere on the website. Non-technical clients can easily update their data securely in the backend.

Siteglide is a relatively new product offering, so external online resources are limited. Looking forward to seeing more use cases from other developers as the product matures.

It would be best if you looked "under the hood" to understand what Siteglide has to offer! Take the opportunity to chat with Siteglide and a local Agency Partner.

The website CRM is updated automatically from user-filled forms, which is very useful for managing prospects for events and programs. The CRM is customizable, allowing client-specific requirements to be added.

The ability to integrate with 3rd party systems allows for automated workflows to external providers eg order details from ecommerce sites sent to delivery companies via Zapier.

The platform is very easy to use and to learn how to use. The development team is always adding features that are actually useful.

I'm putting all of my clients on this platform! It's non-negotiable.

I haven't found any downsides yet. Perhaps one would pop up with an extremely complex site, but I'm confident that the developers would address what's missing as quickly as possible.

Take it for a spin and you're likely to stick around. I did.

Being able to build sites on one and only one platform is great for my bottom line.

The technologies of GraphQL & Liquid work excellently together, in a way that makes working on projects, just that little bit easier and quicker to get a website up and running that looks great with awesome functionality.

The UI is a bit clunky, and still missing some nice to have features, but new features are being added regularly.

Creating complex customised builds for clients has never been easier as Siteglide is both an easy product to use and a powerful product to alter to your needs, with the ability to get an API up and running in a matter of minutes.

The customer support is second to none. Siteglide is available on Intercom, Tribe & a couple other areas - all the time. Response time is usually within a few minutes, and resolutions come within 24hrs usually.

Bootstrap.css. I'm just not a big fan of it. All of the pre-built layouts & forms use bootstrap, and there is no way currently to change that - short of rewriting every component that Siteglide creates.

Building powerful websites - beyond what wordpress can do. Primary benefits are the ability to leverage the power of POS (liquid/graphql/aws) inside of an elegant admin panel.
