WebStudio Review 2024 – Why You Should Avoid It

WebStudio Website Builder: Expensive And Outdated

To compare the best website builders on ease of use, templates, customer service, and value for money, we tried to build the same site on each platform. Check out the results here.

Overall, I had a pretty bad time using WebStudio Website Builder.  The editor itself is lacking in customization as well as features, the pricing is high compared to similar services, and the support is very average.

Why use WebStudio Website Builder?

• Large Template Selection
• Quick Learning curve
• Quick Support

Let’s learn more about WebStudio…

Template Selection – The template selection for WebStudio Website Builder is fairly large, but all of the templates look like they were created back in the 80’s.  Needless to say they are not mobile responsive in most cases. The templates are far from flashy, but they also stay away from approaching an elegant look as well.  Instead, they fall in between the two in the worst way possible, creating a cluttered, almost cheesy look.

Customization – All of the basic elements of your page can be changed, but not by much.  Many of the newer CSS and HTML properties (and a lot of the old ones as well) are not implemented, making it hard for your site to not have an out dated look.

Multimedia – Very basic versions of all of the multimedia widgets that are normally available can be used here, including: video, audio, and photo galleries.

WebStudio Website Builder provides a wide range of the most popular features that are used in creating websites, but they don’t do it well. Most of the features work solidly, while a few often have problems carrying out their individual task.

Almost Easy To Use With Few Features

Some nice benefits that the site builder does boast though are easy access to features such as:  being able to add flash animations, adding java applets, and adding splash pages.  While none of these are huge forthcomings, they are nice pieces that allow you to make your site just a little more interactive.

• Email Support
• Video Tutorials
• Support Center
• Live Chat

• SEO Help
• Blog
• Phone Support
• Forum

The support provided for WebStudio Website Builder is minimally helpful. The live chat feature did not function for me, even during the specified support hours. Although email-based support was prompt, the staff did not demonstrate the highest level of intuitiveness, resulting in longer problem-solving times compared to other providers. Eventually, the support team resolved the issue, but the process was unnecessarily prolonged and challenging.

Expensive With No Benefits

WebStudio Website Builder’s available packages are expensive.  Even more to their detriment though is that they offer little to nothing in the way of value for this added expense.  They have 8 packages available, with each package being an additional $10/month more than the last.  The first two packages they offer do not include any form of e-commerce where as the other six (WebStore 100, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, and 4000) do offer e-commerce, but limit the amount of items that can be hosted within your store according to their names.  This service never mentions how much bandwidth you will be given, does not register a domain name for you, and offers web storage amounts that fall around 1 GB.  All of that comes at the ludicrously high price of $20/month for just the most basic package.
