| Who it's not for | Non-technical teams wanting drag-and-drop editing | Anyone needing deep customization or plugins . use WordPress |

| Public sentiment | No independent user reviews or quotable feedback were found in the sources reviewed. | Users love the design and ease for portfolios and small business sites, but increasingly complain about price hikes, design limitations, and backend issues.⁸ |
