Not so great
I have been using Elementor Pro since the beginning and been really happy with a lot of things. After the price change, I wanted to move to a different builder so this was perfect for me. As this is based on Elementor and also has Pro tools.
With this 10 web builder, I have few problems and I feel that product is ready or even compared to Elementor Pro in any way, I feel Even Elementor Pro is buggy and is not complete. But this is way too confusing and really bad in a lot of things.
Problems with builder:
1. Adding headers or footers is a problem - I added an Envato Elements template and created a header from the template - but the import was bad and created unwanted spaces and margins.
2. You can create only Header, Footer, archive and single post but nothing else with the pro builder - https://share.getcloudapp.com/7Kupoz4P - no support for 404 page or woocommerce pages.
3. https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAugQo9A - when I add any header or footer from the template section. Only sections get created but nothing else, like images, spaces, margins, styles.
4. Not that responsive compared to Elementor Pro.
5. I moved this website from Pro to 10 web to see how it works - https://foreignscope.in/ - there is an empty space on the top which is created and it's pretty big, I had to set the margin to -25 in order to bring it down what it is now. I had to struggle a lot, and all Pro animations or Lottie elements are all gone, as this does not support all that. And with this website, even though I am logged in, I still cant see the admin bar on top - not sure why and couldn't find any options to make it live.
6. I couldn't find any options for global styles, colours, fonts and more.
7. I tried using their default theme, a starter theme - that starter theme is nowhere near to Hello theme. Absolutely useless theme.
8. This doesn't have any blocks (pro)- in the builder. At least if they had blocks in header and footer, it would have been easier to start a site from scratch. https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOulPKWN
9. https://foreignscope.in/ - i have made the header sticky with a background as white - but when we scroll down the header is transparent and does not even show - and also goes behind other page elements when you scroll down.
Haven't tried with other Elementor add-ons like ElementsKit or Essential addons, as these took all my time. Will try with them as most of them have header blocks and might be easier to start from scratch.
Hosting Problems:
1. I disliked Kinsta for many reasons - this looks and works exactly like them. There are definitely few plus points and better options with 10web, but its nowhere compared to other shared hosting providers.
2. Speed is a myth - 90+ its not possible when you add few of their other plugins and some extensions.
3. Its like they are giving you these plugins and buggy Pro builder and forcing you to buy the hosting - 3 accounts and asking you to renew them at $177 per year.

May 9, 2024Thank you very much for the detailed review.
1. Headers and footers usually are automatically created. If you input one page or common header/ footer is extracted if you enter several URLs. The result may depend on a lot of factors such as efects, classification precision, layout characteristics, even URLs in the menu links. Which URL did you use with the AI? We will take a look to see what can we improve for that site.
2. 404 and WooCommece support are coming soon. 404 pages will be automatically added to the template bundle. Storefronts will be converted to product list widget containing WooCommerce products.
3. I could not understand on the image the previous steps and the context. Can you please provide more info?
4. 10Web Builder makes use of Elementor Free version's layout elements, sections and columns. So in this regard it should have the same responsiveness as Elementor itself. Perhaps did you mean any specific widget looks not well on mobile?
5. Thanks, we will inspect this case thoroughly. The header part of the page contains some animations and overlapping elements. While AI Assistant usually recognizes animations, this particular case may have some problems. We will fix them.
6. They are. https://help.10web.io/hc/en-us/categories/360001970471-Features
7. The starter theme is just a blank theme able to support all the necessary templates and Elementor content. Which particular features do you find missing in it?
8. Yes 10Web Builder does not have predefined blocks. It has only ready to use full-site templates. https://10web.io/ai-website-builder/templates/ However our vision is to prioritize improvement of AI Assistant rather than creating more blocks and templates, because AI Assistant is able to create infinite number of templates. We want to automate the development and do not come back to manual choosing of templates.

Hosting Problems:
1. 10Web hosting is much better than shared hosting. It is not shared hosting. Which particular features you do not like ?
2. We will check it to see what caused the PageSpeed score to be less than 90.
3. If one would buy only shared hosting for 3 sites, I suppose it would cost at least 3x$6 * 12 = $216 for the first year and around 3*$8*12 = $288 for the next year, with the cheapest shared hosting. So our offer with $177 is definitely much better even if we had provided only hosting.
When testing the AI Builder without hosting, most of the reviewers asked for adding hosting to the deal. We consider this as a balanced offer with better terms.
