Very useful tool if your need is just simply drag & drop site creation

It's easy to use - you can create new pages/posts without writing any code at all! You also have access to most WordPress functions that would normally be available only through extensive coding. I think there are bugs with some themes or plugins when creating pages. Some CSS properties don't work as expected. If you're looking for an easy way to get started building websites using WordPress for free without having to learn how programming works this could possibly be it. We needed something…

Pros
  • Easy layout options
  • Great variety in color schemes, widgets etc.
  • Very responsive support team from both SammyTheBunny (the main creator) & Danielle Vega(a technical assistant)
  • Variety between designs is endless so almost anything we ever wanted was possible
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Would recommend and suggest to anyone looking for collaboration software

The ability it gives you as an agency owner or editor with multiple people working together - its collaborative nature allows us all have input into what gets published across our sites/blogs while still having clear visibility over who made which changes when we publish something new! I wish there were more options available within this platform that would allow me greater control about how my employees work without needing too much 'admin' time from myself!! This can be very frustrating at…

Pros
  • I can be a much more collaborative editor/admin when working with multiple people
  • I can control what gets published and who made what changes!
Cons
  • I wish there were more automation options available
  • it can be very frustrating at times when you have multiple people working on a new feature or something and it can be very frustrating when you can't control what gets published or who made what changes!
  • Pros: I can use this platform

Expensive learning experience, difficult implementation

I like that this allows you to create as many pages or blogs within one site as needed. The layout options are very limited which makes it harder than necessary when trying to make changes to page layouts without having to go into HTML code. Also there's no way to have multiple authors edit at once. It can be confusing if you're new to using WordPress/SAM. There's also some confusion between how to use different plugins with each other. We would highly recommend looking elsewhere before…

Great Website Building Service That Delivers More Than Expected

Sam has helped us create an online presence with our non profit organization that we did nothing but love! It gave me all i needed from creating websites to blog writing, SEO optimization and marketing tools. I would like if there could be more social media aspects which can help promote my projects through Facebook or Instagram accounts. As far as sam goes it's really great because you get exactly what u need without having to pay too much money for things that dont benefit you at this time…

Pros
  • Its also easy enough where anybody (even those not computer savvy) may understand how best utilize these features themselves.
Cons
  • Nothing here
