Could be great, but missing a lot of necessary features
I'm looking at this from the perspective as someone who doesn't want to get into website design and building, but I have clients who request these things from me. I mainly deal with AI, Automation, and App building for clients
Realistically this is a 2.5/5 Tacos where it currently stands
Having spent the last hour designing multiple sites, here's my criticisms/feedback:
1. Once the AI generates the site, there's almost no way to properly edit. Yes, you can edit small details like wording, images, etc. But layout, removing/adding individual components, etc. are currently unable to be done. This to me is the biggest flaw as this is clearly generating each of these sections as overall larger sections (and just allowing you to edit some of the HTML and CSS) instead of generating individual editable components... which is super necessary. If you're gonna allow the option to build a website for "local business", but then generate a component that says "Trusted by 1000 tech businesses" and not allow that to be removed then it just doesn't work. This is the biggest glaring issue with the platform in its current state. Things like that will make it almost unusable for a lot of people. Components need to be highly editable
2. Certain components are straight up broken.
Examples:
-FAQ component doesn't do a drop down. It kind of just generates an entire blurb and puts it all on one line
-Features component lets you edit the words, but there are just blank circles next to the words that can't be edited or removed
I think overall, the idea is there but there's too much focus on too many things. AI Website builder, AI blog generator, AI marketing... just focus on one product at a time because it's not there yet but it could be great in the future if these are able to be addressed. I'm looking at this as someone who will only use the website feature, but could definitely see myself using it more in the future to spin up client websites if it's done properly

May 9, 2024Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, critical criticism is always welcome and useful!
1. "Trusted by 1000 tech businesses" Thank you for pointing it out, this is a bug, we fixed it and it's coming in our next update.
When it comes to editing components, we allow users to replace existing items inside a component or re-generate the whole component, I fully understand the expectations for allowing more sophisticated editing to the component, we step by step will allow more flexible editing as the product grows.
2. The FAQ component collapse function works in the browser but not in the editor, If you click preview or publish you will be able to interact with the FAQ collapse. Allowing collapse inside the editor is an improvement that is yet to be made. Nonetheless, you can see FAQ in action if you preview the site from the preview button on the top right corner.
Features with blank circles, that is correct. At the moment those circles are static and will be improved in our next update.
The principle of Stunning is to build websites in seconds, then build social media posts, Google Ads, Tweets, and even emails with AI Marketing, then write blogs for the website with AI Genie and publish them directly to your website. Stunning mainly focuses on the AI side for building with natural language with 0 learning curve for clients.
We have many improvements coming up, please follow our road map and hopefully, in a few weeks you could give us an update on this review after the improvements we make!
