You obviously put a lot of time and effort into this. Well researched and presented. Your energy made me watch until the end. Thank you.

10 years of experience here and you told nothing but truths and facts! Great video!

[azurepeace]

this was so eloquently put and full of useful information. thank you for putting this together. you have a wonderful vibe as well !

[daniellebrita]

Wow. This video was so comprehensive and helpful. Thank you so much!

[Annushka_at]

Amazing content. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll go and try notion now 😁

As an artist and Studio Art BFA student, this was tremendously helpful, thank you for taking the time to do the research for us! Cargo ended up being the design language I was looking for, thank you so much!

[EmpowerMotiv]

That's gotta be the most elaborate video I have seen, very Clear explanation and the pro/cons list is very helpful. Thank you!

[iyinoluwao]

This is so detailed and mentions options I haven't heard of elsewhere. Thank you so much!

[iii.wellness]

Your video provides the most extensive coverage of almost all website builder options out there. A couple of the easy ones for beginners that I know are Hostinger and Durable but I can understand why they didn't even make it to the list lol. I can't wait to try out ReadyMag & Cargo! Thank you Sophie!

[BrendonSchaferCT]

You're a great presenter. Full of energy and enthusiasm. Pleasant to watch and listen.

[Craig.thecreative]

Yeah, you deserve over 1 million subscribers. Thank you for comprehensive video and great video editing too. Coming from a production mind, I was engaged for 20 minutes, and that's hard for me. I wish I could just pay you to build a great website for me. Thank you again!

[dudaalencastro]

Congrats on the video! Very helpful, full of information and not afraid to show some opinions. Keep it up!

[Arnesrm]

Wow, thank you so much! Cargo is just what I was searching for, I believe. I can’t stand seeing all those basic Website themes that either try to look like squarespace or ARE squarespace haha
Great video :)

[coflage]

I have watched so many of these videos now and this is honestly the best one out there, well done! Such a brilliantly comprehensive yet also somehow concise rundown of the options out there and I’m so glad you mentioned the Adobe one as I wasn’t even aware of that! Will be checking that out first, then notion

[hereD]

I appreciate this video so much! I'm on my ReadyMag journey now and think its amazing what you can do with that platform! all the best!

[pbrcbbt]

Your video has been very comprehensive with graphic of pros and cons per builder. Thank you for this!

[patbullock]

Just the breakdown I was looking for, thank you! Appreciate your thoughts and perspective on these

[precisionsoundworksstudio]

I was reading your FAQ. Just wanted to say that your accent is not weird. It is awesome! Such a musical, mellifluous cadence!

[IsmaelKenig]

Very comprehensive content, complete with tips, suggestions and your own opinion for different situations. Great work!
