Interesting website builder
I'm testing stunning for creating websites using artificial intelligence.
What I see positive:
- good product support, they answer questions in a short enough time
- the product has great potential and promising product improvements are planned
- Interesting websites can already be created thanks to the connection with professional widgets from Common Ninja, see what you can put on your website for free: https://www.commoninja.com/widgets
You can use 5 professional Common Ninja widgets on every web page for free.
- The basic structure of the website is created by artificial intelligence, however you can then change the menu and page structure as you need
What is planned:
- Sections and elements in sections cannot be edited now, but it is planned
What am I missing?
- The application does not have its CMS blogging system, the widgets seem insufficient to me, because clicking on the article in the widget opens the content on blogger or medium platforms. If a native blogging system was developed with categories and the ability to customize the design, I would stack the full code... For now, I'm waiting for a response from the developers.
- I also find the Ai creation of blog posts confusing and difficult to edit in the sidebar.
When editing, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the window and it is difficult to edit the article at all.
In order to edit the article, you need to copy the created text into a text editor, edit it in the text editor, and then paste it into the appropriate window. This is getting unnecessarily long. But they will surely fix this soon.
- Sections with multiple columns cannot be created. I wanted to put a normal element in one column in one section and a ninja widget next to it in another column. Unfortunately, this is not possible (For example, a combination of a regular title and text on the left side and an animated moving image next to the text on the right side - all in one section.)
While it's a good idea to build a regular website using AI, there's always a need for basic design customization and basic grid layout options. This would be enough to keep stunning intuitive and powerful at the same time. I believe that developers will work on balancing the input of artificial intelligence and the possibility of human input in the creation of pages.
I want to thank the stunning team for creating interesting products. I believe that a native blog system and other missing things will be implemented in some time.

May 9, 2024Hey webmisie,
Thank you so much for the constructive and useful feedback, we love these kinds of feedbacks that actually adds value to the product and it's growth! Love it!
You are right about the blog issue, our initial thought was that users would use AI Genie, and generate content with AI then press publish and it automatically published as a blog on their site, which worked great and we see people using it, but it created other issues we did not initially anticipate and right now we are building list of these issues and fixing them one by one.
We have added the UX improvement you recommended for the editor to our road map to allow users to edit components on same place instead of the side bar edior, this is very useful indeed for blog posts.
Kindly follow road map here, we have incorporated some of your suggestions https://stunning.canny.io/
