Q: Hello, I'm Joseph Benguira, Founder & CTO of AppDrag First of all, I would like to start with a few words ...

about me: I'm a passionate developer since the age of 8 and also a computer engineer for 15 years. I have my own custom dev company since 2009. All this experience lead me to create AppDrag.

AppDrag is a web development platform where you can create visually a professional-grade website with blog and e-commerce. We have created from scratch an innovative technology solution that makes us the most effective platform on the market for web professionals.

Right now 60% of web professionals use WordPress or other traditional CMS to create and deliver websites but they face several issues: Installation & Maintenance cost a lot of time, performances are not amazing, hacking is a real issue with millions of sites hacked each year. it's not scalable and because it's running on a single server there is no high availability, if your server is down, your website is offline.

About B2C Websites builders like Wix / Weebly / Squarespace and others: Web professionals can't use them because They don’t give access to source code which is required by professionals, it’s very hard to get indexed by Google and they don’t provide a white label portal for customers.

AppDrag allows web professionals to produce websites 5x faster than any other CMS.
We provide reliable and secured cloud hosting with performances up to 10x faster than competitors.
We are the only global solution to combine all required services like E-mail Marketing, Domain, Translations, hosting and more….

With AppDrag, web professionals will spend less time on each project and will be able to considerably increase their margins.

I hope you will enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions!

We would love to hear your thoughts!

thank you 🙏
Here are a few questions that come to mind:

1. what plan are we getting?
2. is white label and email marketing included?
3. how much is the cost to add more websites?
4. Roadmap?

Thank you

Would be great to get an answer to these questions:)

Hello,

1. You are getting the APPSUMO plan, it's comparable to our Freelance plan but with 5 apps AND Whitelabel which is normally only included in the AGENCY plan costing a lot more

2. Yes Whitelabel is included and no we don't provide an Email Marketing plan but the free tier provides 3 newsletters.

3. You can stack AppSumo coupons (in normal conditions you should either upgrade to a higher offer or subscribe to our Basic offer at 10$/month)

4. Our roadmap includes VS Code plugin, Git integration, Team Collaboration with real time edition (like Google Docs), Page Builder improvements

thank you so much for your response ... I have couple of more if you don't mind as I am interested in this

1. can we see some of the templates? maybe get a trial account to test?
2. how does the 150K Translated characters work? When we will need more?
3. how does the exporting/importing work?
4. do you have any comparison with other platforms like wix and squarespace?
5. will we get future additions/features to our plan?
6. what type of backups and security are available for these sites?

1 Yes you can create a free account and browse the templates
2. When you translate a page in a different language you can use Google to pre-translate your page, it's this feature only that consumes translation characters.
3. You can export the whole website into a zip and import a whole zip into your project (in the Code Editor)
4. Here is our comparison
5. You will have AppDrag update features
6. Files are hosted on AWS S3 replicated in 6 different locations, you also have all versions of each single file during 30 days

This looks like a really good deal. People have said it's a fast platform. I'd like to move away from my current hosting and web builder because it's slow.

1. How do you quantify fast? Do you have an benchmarks or before and after comparisons?
2. I'll host my site on my own domain. Does your offer allow that? Can I still get the speed advantages you offer when I'm hosting on my domain and not yours?

Thanks very much!

Hi, how would i create a client portal to input invoices and other password information documents into?

thank you

Do you offer restricted access capabilities in your sites?
