Web Programming Software

Initially, it can be a bit difficult to begin using Wordpress.org as it has a bit of a learning curve.

But this doesn't take long to overcome, and if you need help it is pretty straightforward to get the help you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WordPress is the best option if you want to build a reliable website that has endless opportunities.

Way better than Wix or GoDaddy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I run an affiliate website through WordPress.org and it is the best website builder I have used, it is very straightforward and easy to use once you learn how to use it.

It is much easier to use than Wix, or Godaddy in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue for me is how Webflow handles custom code. You have to go into page settings, open a sidebar, scroll, and repeat for every change. It slows things down. I’d love a dedicated code panel that’s accessible from anywhere, like a floating sidebar.

Also, while the interface is powerful, it could be more beginner-friendly. If Webflow added features that let you resize and place elements freely—similar to how Figma works—it would be much easier for non-developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webflow helps me design and ship production-quality websites without needing a developer. It’s fast, visual, and precise. I can maintain full control over responsiveness, layout, and animations—while still handing off something clean and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I’d like to improve on hygraph is the ability to try new features outside of paid plans. It’s hard for developers to try and test these out without having a chat with an account manager and then being tied into a limited trial. Personal time doesn’t always fit within trial windows and this is annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have an agnostic front end product built in next js and react. Using hygraph in the way we do gives us amazing flexibility and due to the api coupled with graphql generation libraries a really smooth integration. We don’t have to worry about the third party cms just the code we’re building. Any updates to schemas we can just regenerate and focus on anything new Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. There is a Learning Curve

If you're coming from WordPress or other simpler CMSs, Umbraco can feel a bit overwhelming at first. It's definitely more developer-focused, which means your team needs to have some technical skills to get the most out of it.

2. The Marketplace Feels a Bit Sparse

Compared to WordPress's massive plugin ecosystem, Umbraco's package directory can feel quite limited. Sometimes you end up building functionality from scratch that would be a simple plugin install elsewhere. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean more development time and budget for features you might take for granted on other platforms.

That said, one of the selling points of Umbraco is its opensource community - if you get stuck on something there will be people who have been in the same situation to call upon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest headaches I used to face was deployment issues hitting at the worst possible times.

Picture this: it's 6pm on a Friday, we need to push a bug fix, and suddenly there's a critical issue with an Umbraco Cloud deployment for one of our US clients. In the past, I'd either have to wait until Monday for proper support or try to muddle through myself, which isn't ideal when there is a bug on the client's site down.

Umbraco's recent move to open a support desk in the USA has been a game-changer for us. Now I've got extended support hours that actually align with when things tend to go wrong. If there's an issue at after 4pm UK time, there's someone on the other side of the Atlantic who can help sort it out properly, rather than me losing sleep or leaving clients hanging.

HubSpot Content Hub is hands down the most frustrating platform I’ve had the misfortune to use for web content. It promises ease and flexibility but delivers the opposite—painful limitations, poor UX, and bloated tech that tanks performance.

The out-of-the-box templates feel like a relic from 2010. If you want anything remotely custom or modern, you're immediately stuck needing developer support. That defeats the entire point of using what should be a user-friendly CMS.

The platform's settings and options are scattered and counterintuitive. Nothing is where you'd expect it to be, and simple tasks like layout adjustments or basic styling often involve painful workarounds. Worse still, even when you do configure everything correctly, you're rewarded with sluggish load times and poor performance metrics. The bloat is real, and it hurts both SEO and user experience.

Even HubSpot’s native modules and "smart content" feel like half-baked afterthoughts—lacking in both depth and polish. For a platform trying to position itself as enterprise-ready, it delivers a shockingly immature and restrictive content experience.

Bottom line: There are countless better platforms out there—don’t waste your time (or budget) on HubSpot Content Hub unless you’re okay with constantly wrestling a clunky, inflexible, and underpowered system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In theory, HubSpot Content Hub is meant to solve the problem of managing website content alongside your CRM and marketing tools in one integrated platform. The idea is appealing: centralized data, unified tools, and streamlined workflows.

In practice, however, the Content Hub creates more problems than it solves. Its lack of flexibility, poor performance, and reliance on developers for even basic customization severely limits any real benefit. While it technically lets us publish content and integrate it with HubSpot’s broader ecosystem, the friction it adds to the process makes it hard to justify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, the flexibility can be a double-edged sword. Starting from a blank slate means there’s a fair amount of initial setup before your Studio is fully functional. They do offer starter templates, which help, but it would be nice to have a more opinionated base with core features out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're currently exploring Sanity as a solution to move away from a monolithic CMS (Adobe Experience Manager), which has been slow, rigid, and difficult to maintain. Sanity’s headless, API-first approach fits well with our modern stack (React + Next.js) and offers the flexibility and developer control that AEM lacks. Even in early testing, we’re seeing how it could streamline content workflows, simplify development, and provide a much more scalable and maintainable setup.

We have not experienced any disadvantages of using Speed Kit as yet. A big credit for this goes to the dynamic components of Speed Kit that are so easily integrated. The only downside we can see is the cost (for small businesses or companies). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed Kit has increased our website performance and it has helped improve the response time of APIs because of the caches. We are also looking to implement on our other projects for improved SEO rankings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit complicated the connection with the test and remote servers, and I don't understand why that connection is so slow, other than that I don't see a major problem using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without Adobe DW, it would be more complicated to develop the entire site from scratch; however, with the help of its IntelliSense when writing code, this process is greatly expedited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that I dislike about Duda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Duda tackles key website-building challenges, delivering significant benefits for my business and my clients, especially in local SEO, where it outperforms platforms like WordPress.

Here’s how:

Simplified Website Development: Duda’s intuitive drag-and-drop editor and pre-designed templates make building websites fast and easy, eliminating the technical complexity of managing plugins, hosting, or updates required by WordPress. This saves time and reduces costs, allowing me to focus on growing my business.

Superior Mobile Optimization: Duda’s mobile-responsive templates and Vary: User-Agent feature ensure websites load quickly and look great on any device. This improves user experience, boosts client satisfaction, and enhances search rankings due to better mobile performance.

Powerful Local SEO Tools: Duda’s built-in SEO features, like customizable meta tags, schema markup, and Google PageSpeed optimization, drive superior local SEO results. Its flat URL structure and global CDN help my clients’ websites rank higher in local searches, attracting more customers compared to WordPress’s less streamlined SEO capabilities.

Streamlined Client Management: For my agency, Duda’s client management tools, including team collaboration and white-label options, simplify handling multiple projects. This scalability improves efficiency, enabling me to serve more clients effectively.

These solutions have accelerated my workflow, enhanced my clients’ online visibility, and driven more traffic to their businesses, making Duda a game-changer over WordPress for local SEO and overall performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s not much I dislike about Selldone—it’s more about me taking the time to learn the platform. As someone new to this, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but that’s to be expected with any robust and feature-rich platform. Thankfully, the team has been incredibly helpful and responsive, making it easier to navigate and get the hang of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selldone is simplifying the process of launching and managing my multi vendor platform by providing everything I need in one place. Unlike other platforms, where I’d have to rely on multiple apps and integrations to get essential features, Selldone’s Enterprise Plan comes fully equipped, saving me both time and money.

The platform’s all-in-one solution eliminates the hassle of juggling various tools, allowing me to focus on the core aspects of my business—building relationships with sellers and delivering value to my audience. This streamlined approach not only makes my work more efficient but also reduces the stress of managing multiple moving parts.

Moreover, the support I’ve received from the Selldone team, particularly Alireza, has been a huge confidence booster. Their guidance has made it easier for me to understand the platform and reignited my enthusiasm for my project. It feels like I have a partner genuinely invested in my success.

Selldone has truly empowered me to turn my passion into reality while providing the tools and support needed to build a scalable and sustainable business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product could be a little more self-serve, which I believe is in process. Even without that, the team was able to manage everything so it didn't need to be self-serve for someone like me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was using a godaddy template site prior which looked awful, but I don't have the design or development experience to create a better web presence myself on something like Webflow. Morphic handled all of this and my web presence is much more professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the app. However, as I was working on a project I identified some features that might be useful, like multilingual mode, which is useful when users from different cultures participate in the same padlet. I'd love to have a chance to talk to Padlet developers and share some ideas and needs as a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data visualization often requires multiple tools to create compelling visuals. However, with Padlet, everything I need is available in a single app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at this time, they have a great roadmap of future implementations that solve all niche issues as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed a quick solution that would allow a content admin to control content for a multi-faceted marketing site. The flexibility to create new pages and re-use content across the site. It allowed us to develop a custom solution tailored very closely to the customers needs with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AEM has a steep learning curve, especially for new developers or teams without prior Adobe stack experience. Licensing and infrastructure costs can be significant for smaller organizations, and upgrades between major versions (e.g., from AEM 6.5 to AEM as a Cloud Service) can require significant planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're using AEM to manage a global network of websites with localized content, running personalized campaigns, and integrating with Adobe Experience Cloud for a unified digital strategy. It has streamlined our content delivery, reduced duplication, and improved time-to-market for digital experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love some advanced features like CDN or creatives lifecycle management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We store all our files in Pics.io and the software helps us quickly locate the necessary images and videos when needed. It saves our distributed team many hours that we previously were spending questioning each other on the exact file location and the latest version of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frankly there is nothing that I don't like as I am a very satisfied user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is helping me to reach out to readers around the world as I help them to plan their holidays for themselves and their families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The robust tools for automated content building, scheduling and personalization can make the interface somewhat intimidating at first glance. But new users can ramp up quickly after adjusting to the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It addresses the challenge of regularly launching high-quality, SEO-optimized content without asking for an engineer's time. So, our growth team has been able to more efficiently publish content and chip away at our SEO efforts (which have seen a marked improvement). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want to have a bit more freedom in designing the blogs, and find out more about solutions and apps I can add on my platform. But I don't have anything I really dislike overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to manage all parts of my work in one place. I can jump from my marketing plans and blogs to handling my list of clients in the crm they created for us. And then also add my newsletters to communicate with them, or edit pages when we have a new ad! Their team is also super helpful and responsive when I have any issue, as they allocate a developer for us on demand to do some special requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only consideration is that for very complex functionalities, there might still be some limitations compared to fully custom-coded solutions. But for the majority of use cases, Ycode more than delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ycode gives us the freedom to make changes to our website and build new landing pages independently, without relying on our IT team or external developers. This means our marketing team can move faster, launch campaigns more efficiently, and stay agile, while our developers can focus on improving our core products instead of handling website updates. It’s a huge time and cost saver for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost feels a little steep for small business such as mine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest benefits of using YoTTAA for me is the faster load times and analytics on website data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
