In my experience 20 years of website building, for the past 5 years I searched and searched to replace WordPress to no avail. I actually gave up a few months ago and started to build my own from scratch - it was a special order very simple site. That was great re-learning the newer tools, I managed to build a responsive site with hamburger menu that got fantastic speed results close to 99% so I must be doing something right... but coding by hand is slow, too slow -- but cleared my head from the rabble of disappointing builders that crossed my path.

I purchased 2 codes of WebStarts a while back, why not I've tried every other damn cheap really, and i had 60 days to try so why not. I built a one page website which was ok, but it wasn't a real project so I left it.

I came back a few days ago since I had to make a decision to keep or not and had forgotten it completely - but this time I attempted a real problem and was able to solve it in WebStarts, and it was painless? I scratched my head, and continued (couldn't figure out a few things) but went ahead set up a site with domain and SSL. Wow, that worked! I'm not sure how others see this but I am overjoyed it all worked 'first time'. Then I wanted to try a blog and Help is excellent and I found out how... because Help is excellent. Videos are simple direct and straight forward.

WebStarts seems to have most things I needed with WordPress but in a far simplified environment. I have build 3 websites now (1 each evening), moved the domains over and they'll be ready to launch when signed off. There's even the aspect of professional email - I think I can bring them over too?

I uploaded a video as easily as uploading an image 'wow', and it plays without showing youtube ads which is heaven. 100 GB per website unlimited everything is beyond sensible. How can they do it? But they can because they have the infrastructure sorted - all whilst maintaining excellent speeds - and I regularly check website speed at Goole or GT, and WebStarts 'shines'.

Most things are that easy - and they just work - and that is the wow factor for me. It appears well made, solid, works, has got it all.

Easy to learn, good help support, all the modules, great infrastructure, video, 100 GB per site, speed. I'm pretty sure I'm home. The only thing wrong is I have to tell all my friends the deal is over :( but maybe I can stop searching for a WordPress replacement. I think so.

But, they can improve. The first contact (via their chat) was answered promptly, but the send contact wasn't answered in 3 days. That led me to searching the Help and finding the answers for myself. Having found the answers so easily was a good experience, so I didn't miss not getting a response, much.

I have a lot to learn but so far my experience has been excellent, and I expect more of the same the deeper I go. For me it's a WordPress and pain killer, for me for what I do. Pinch me.
