Very nice visually but I feel the transition between 2 slides (what would be 2 blocks in a website) is slow and sluggish compared to a "classic" website where the scrolling is more fluid and without heavy animation between content blocks.

@raphchabaud Hey, sorry, missed that somehow.
The smoothness of the transitions depends on the device it is run on. Not the browser per se nor the OS, but the actual machine. And for unknown yet reasons, newest MacBooks render it worse than old laptops and iMacs. Our users also have an option to dial down the effects within the generator to make sure it appears smooth for everyone.
Just FYI, on our presentation we also decided to remove some effects that look poor on some laptops, before it was like this by default: https://designmodo.com/slides/?r... My not new non-retina iMac easily display the website and all effects 60fps with a lot of tabs and apps opened at the same time. Sadly, it's not the case for MBPro. Think twice before getting a retina display, guys...
Designmodo deserves all success that comes their way. Many incredible resources. We've built our most recent site using Startup Framework
I use it for my clients adn I like the clean code and beautiful anaimations.
Pros:Easy to use
No dependence from online builders
Lifetime websites
Unlimited websites
Easy to integrate to CMS's if you are a backender
Cons:Basic coding knowledges
I rather become a hig knowledgeable html, css, JavaScript “coder” than pay $199 for just one project. I won’t ever fall for a proposal like that.
First thing that came to mind was wix. Then I visit the site and seriously, just wow. I have been involved in software development since the late 90's. And this, this, this is what website front end development should work like. $250 a year? If you are a web front end developer and are not yet shouting at these guys to take your money, you are losing out on tons of profits.
Here is hoping you guys reach the top most tier in client acquisition. Nice.
Used it to make my site's company and gonna use this new version to make a refresh of the site. As a web developer you find yourself too busy doing sites for others and forget about doing your own site, slides got us covered. Worth every penny! 🤘
Pros:Super fast static site development.
Cons:No cons, really.. latest update killed any cons.
Luis, could you please share your website? I believe it must be amazing.
Makers, you did a great job! Thanks
@ishan_karayev Hey! Here is a collection of websites created using Slides https://designmodo.com/examples-...
@ishan_karayev Sure! https//impr.es , we are on our way to update it with some of the v4 awesomeness. We also have plans on making it multi-language on the upcoming months as we are from Spain but we work with people from all over the world.
This isn't meant as negative crit, because the product does look pretty cool on the surface. But I think for serious developers and designers looking to give Slides a try, it would be great to have a free tier to test drive it. I would think your Personal tier at 199 would make a good free tier. Pricing is quite steep when you consider what's available out there for less. Also seems like I can't access the examples without a license? That makes zero sense to me, because that's what would have convinced me to buy (if the examples were awesome). The showcase sites are really underwhelming. I don't think it's just me, having no free tier is likely to turn a lot more people away. Or you could maybe curate the showcase sites to filter out those amateur looking ones? Again, don't mean to be rude, just telling you what's keeping me from buying.
@martinoosthuizn Replied you in the PM. Thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate it a lot.
Wanted to complement you on your marketing materials. The landing page is beautiful! I love the attention to quality design, and I hope this all brings you much success!
This is an awesome tool
This helps a lot for someone who only has basic knowledge about coding (yeah it's me -- after learning html/css/js for some time I still struggling to build a form haha). Gonna try this in my next coding class!
ps. the company I am interning is also on product hunt today! It will be great if you can also check @jobalaya out
@evelynyu The whole forms part is the most hardest thing of the HTML, probably. Will check, thanks :)
Is there a free trial available? Also wondering if you can tie multiple pages together
@ethangromet There is no trial, but you have 20 days to get your money back if the product doesn't work for you. And yes, add as many pages as you want on your website. We do not limit you on that whatsoever.
This seems perfect. 250 $ per year for unlimited projects. I like the simple pricing.
If this work like look, it is very good, also important to make comeptition with WordPress
Looks really good. Will consider next time we need static site build
Nicely done. Very impressive work. Is it also available for Wordpress as a plugin?
