Review Quotes:

"Really easy to use, lets you make beautiful sites"

"I've been using Strikingly forever, and I've been recommending it to everyone I know. It's by far the easiest tool to set up a simple website - landing page, business page, show off a product, etc. The designs are great, modern, and mobile-optimized. I've always had headaches with other website builders like Wix because they are difficult to use - Strikingly really nailed it."

"Good, but there's also room for improvement"

"Pros: the site itself is very usable. It's very easy to get a website up and running and have it look good. They actually do live up to their claims about gorgeous mobile optimized sites in minutes."

Cons: A lot of the customization features require paying, but I feel like their packages are overpriced for the needs of people who want just a personal site.

2. Highlights:

-Three distinct and varied templates are offered initially to help tailor your page for whatever purpose such as Business/Project, Personal, and/or Portfolio.

-Has a sleek minimal design that looks professional and timely but requires simple steps to achieving.

-Clear and concise navigation.

-Clean design and useful examples. 

-You can easily link personal sites such as Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr.

3.

-You simply type in your name, email and then create a password. 

-You then are able to choose from a business/project, personal, or portfolio templates.

-The site then takes you to your own customizable webpage.

Designing a page on Strikingly is quite easy after a few minutes of exploring. Once you create an account, Strikingly guides you through a series of steps which demonstrate the functionality of the site. There are many predesigned layouts with very professional designs. The predesigned layouts can be modified with just a few clicks. Strikingly seems to be a good site for anybody who may not have much previous experience in webpage design. Even with a lack of webpage design experience, it is possible for a person to create a very professional webpage.

-Simple and sleek design that appears professional but is created with ease.

-Easy to post and east to search. Can link all other online pages such as Facebook or Tumblr.

-Free unless you want to pay for additional features. 

Cost: 

- The basics are free, 1 published website and 5Gb monthly bandwidth. If you want to make more than one website there is a cost. For an example if you want unlimited bandwidth or access to the strikingly app store then you would have to upgrade to the Pro or Limited package which as a fee that’s monthly based.
