    Going to be using this app from now on to build my sites. Tried using Shogun but was not a fan at all so i looked for page builders and found this app and was relieved. Plus David is great at assisting others and is quick too!

    This app is better than Shogun I think. I have tried both and this one is far more versatile and has more options than what I have seen. It did have issues when I was trying it initially but the Customer service was always online to Australian Times and helped me out immediately. I am amazed at their service.

  • ★★★★★

    This app is very user friendly and much simpler to navigate than other page builders but still offers heaps of customisation. The support team are very helpful for any problems you my incur.
