An Amazing Website Builder with Agency Potential!
TLDR: I have tried many website builders and Webstarts has mastered the perfect balance between ease of use and powerful features, enabling creation of fast-loading, professional websites quickly.
Webstarts simplifies website creation with fast, fluid and intuitive builder with a strong feature set. You are spared from the hassle of downloading plugins and managing updates, a common headache in self-hosting. Recent enhancements like expanded site width and custom font uploads have made Webstarts even better. It is perfect for those with limited web design experience, Webstarts, offers a stable, user-friendly platform with impressive white-label agency features, including a client panel and login portal.
It seems the 1 or 2 taco reviews mainly focus on the onboarding process, which is unfortunate given the platform's quality. Even those reviews acknowledge it's strengths despite initial difficulities that have been resolved with the url. Webstarts is incredibly user-friendly yet powerful, offering quick-loading sites, full DNS access, three-level menus, and mobile functionality - all essential for various use-cases.
Key Features for Agencies:
- Team and Client Roles: Agencies would benefit a lot from being able to assign team members access to the all sites panel without sharing the sole webmaster login credential. Also to allow clients to manage roles for their team like Admin, Admin (Limited), Blog Contributor and Web Designer within the white-label agency setup.
- Client Feature Controls - It is great we have control over store access, would be amazing to extend this control over other features on the client panel, like Blog, Appointments, Chat, Site Members, etc.
External Backups: Though website exports aren't possible because the websites could break elsewhere, external backups would ensure security and data recovery, offering peace of mind for clients. Providing offline backups to reupload back into the same or another Webstarts account would be very beneficial especially for convincing clients who have had bad experiences on other platforms over website stability and loss in the past.
Feature Suggestions:
- Slideshow enhancements: Improve mobile usability with adjustable image scaling for optimized viewing that differs from the computer view. Include titles, text elements and buttons for richer content sliders. These would provide a lot of value by allowing websites to display more information without needing to scroll or place it on a subpage, this would also elevate the site visitors experience and impression of the website.
Product Widgets: More customizable styles and alignment options for price tags.
Instant Chat: Allow clients to personalize their chat names for a tailored experience, when I last checked, the chat for clients defaulted to the agency's first and last name only.
- Folders: Enable folder creation for organizing websites on the All Sites page by type or client. Also please consider implementing the ability to categorize and reorder our designs section where we can group our own designs by type (hero, about us, features, team, etc), this is already a very helpful feature so allowing us to organize them would be greatly appreciated.
- Consider offering agencies priority support as a paid service for urgent technical issues that our clients or we may face. Yes I know the platform is incredibly stable but having that priority support line and allowing us to align and contribute towards Webstart's growth and future enhancements would be appreciated.
The Webstarts lifetime deal offers fantastic value, ideal for starting your own webdesign agency to sell custom websites, templates and hosting. While we host many sites on WordPress and another platform, Webstarts intuitive design is perfect for many usecases including our clients wanting to edit templates and custom sites we have made using Webstarts. For anyone on the fence, I highly recommend trying Webstarts out, its a fantastic builder and this is one of the best purchases I've made online. A massive thank you to Adam and his team for creating this impressive builder and the agency features!

Sep 15, 2025Thank you for the 5 taco review. You make great points here like most of the negative reviews have to do with the code redemption process. Most of our users aren't coming from Appsumo and so we don't provide that onboarding process if you go around the Appsumo deal page.
I'll definitely take a closer look at your suggestions. They seem to make sense. We do have the ability to organize files and folders in the file manager. I think we should allow that to persist from site to site.
