I think Mobirise is a good product - but based on my specific needs it is lacking a bit. I used to use Webflow religiously, but they've become very expensive, I don't need their CMS, and their affordable plans limit the number of projects you can have. I never use DW for designing a site, but I do use it to change/update CSS, JS and PHP. While I'm a die-hard Adobe Dreamweaver user, I only use it post-design - to add PHP custom code as needed. If you have used Webflow or have some good experience, their interface isn't too bad - it can be a bit much if you don't have a coding background - but for me, it's pretty solid. It has templates, components, and good support. I'm thinking of switching back to it because it now supports so much - including CSS Frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation & Materialize - or none at all (they call it "Frameworkless" - create your own from scratch). Because of this, I took a new look at Site Designer (by CoffeeCup) - it's been a long time since I used this product and it's come a looooong way. Also, Mobirise has pretty good exported code, but much of it is not needed (for instance, the exported code includes all the block code stuff that was turned off and is just hidden). Mobirise meets some of these requirements, but honestly, it's missing some simple things - one of the most basic is making design changes (like alignment) for each breakpoint - yes, you can do this by adding code into the media queries, but you should be able to do this in the UI in my opinion. I've used a ton of web builders in the past - Mobirise, Webflow, Wappler, Pinegrow, Blocks, Site Designer, etc.some of the things I desire in a builder are:ġ) no subscriptions, (I hate subscriptions)Ģ) exports clean code to use on my own servers (this is a must)ģ) ability to make design changes per breakpoint without codeĤ) ability to use/insert blocks/components to speed development
