|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Worth it |
| Best for | Developers needing a quick pricing table | Developers shipping standard sites fast |
| Who it's not for | Non-technical founders wanting a site builder | Non-technical buyers . it is a code library, not a website builder |
| Privacy | Reported XSS on their member portal, breach-exposure listing, and a SQL injection disclosure on a W3Layouts-designed site; no public security page.⁴ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | Support portal exists; no quality evidence found. | No support-quality evidence found. |
| Public sentiment | Reviews are sparse: a 4.5/5 from just 11 users on one directory, a positive Facebook recommendation, and a negative review of their Android app.¹ | Product Hunt reviewers rate it 5.0/5 across 7 reviews, citing speed and reliability.13 |
| Biggest gotcha | appears in a breach-exposure report listing emails and bcrypt passwords⁷ | Staying on old versions means missing client-side security fixes; keep current. |
