Simple and Adaptive
Overall, my experience with blogstatic has been fantastic. It's exactly what it says on the box, and more! Nearly any bug I report is fixed very quickly (sometimes within the hour!), and new features are consistently being added to make the experience even better. Honestly, now that I'm thinking about my experience currently compared to when I first started using blogstatic, it's quite impressive the strides they have made to improve their product. I'm looking forward to where it's going in the future!
PROSFastest blogging provider I've ever used, hands down. No more bloated Wordpress sites :) The editor is minimalist and intuitive, and is consistently getting better each time I use it. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has also been a very responsive [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who clearly cares about the users, and quickly iterates upon new features and bug fixes I also really like their commitment to green energy and making sure their services remain healthy for the Earth!
CONSThere are some things that could be streamlined, such as setting up a custom domain which you have to manually inform them of for them to update their DNS records. The editor / interface is minimalistic, so it's not as feature-rich as a full-fledged editor. This may be a con for you. Although, as I mentioned above, it is quickly improving.
Reasons for switching to blogstatic
Mostly a decision based on company ethics, but also even though the email / newsletter integration was seamless I found it to be very feature-less from a blogging perspective.

Surprised by quality, speed and user support
In one sentence: A world-class customer support for the best price-quality ratio I've seen in any blogging service I tried.
PROSIt's sooo easy to start with, infinitely easier than using WordPress and other blogging services I tried in the past. I have only been using it for a short time, but long enough to realize that everything in the service is well thought out, planned, and executed. I switched from WordPress and I do not plan to return. The best about Blogstatic: and incredible efficient and empathetic 5-stars customer support service!!!
CONSNone, everything I was looking for and need is in this tool already.
Reason for choosing blogstatic
I tried their free trial and in less than 30 mins using it I upgraded to the full plan, which is incredibly affordable.
Reasons for switching to blogstatic
As much as they say, WordPress is not scalable unless you spend a lot of time or a lot of money. All I wanted was an SEO-friendly blog with a super quick setup, and now I have it.
Vendor Response
This is incredible to hear. Thank you, David.

Great product, greater customer support
It was very easy to deploy. By easy, I mean, as easy as operating your Facebook account. Customer support that looks to good to be true.
PROSVery easy to use, best customer support ever, minimalist to the core. The best word processor ever. Overall, it's a writer's dream.
CONSIt's still quite new. Yet to be perfect, and there are lots of features that should be added.
Reason for choosing blogstatic
What attracted me to it was the minimalist, elegant user interface.
Reasons for switching to blogstatic
Bluehost customer service is totally messed up. I've been using Bluehost for over five years, and it gets worse each year in terms of everything. The system is still stuck in the past.

The Simplest Way To Blog
Running a blog over the last 10 years has got more and more complex, with plugins and updates, themes, management and security. Blogstatic removes all of the admin to running a blog and just lets you write your posts and publish your articles quickly under your own domain.
PROSI like that I can get a blog setup in minutes with my own custom domain.
CONSBlogstatic is a fairly new product and is very simple to use. This is ideal for me.
Reason for choosing blogstatic
I could see that blogstatic was built with the writer in mind, taking care of the frustrating parts of writing a blog. It also has great customer support and they are regularly adding new features to it.
Reasons for switching to blogstatic
I made the switch from WordPress because Blogstatic takes care of all of the updates and setup.
Vendor Response
Thank you for being with us, Helen. We appreciate the good words and happy that blogstatic is serving you well. Let us know what else we can do to accommodate your needs.

The best there is!
Using blogstatic is bliss. I wish all other software was build with the same attention to detail.
PROSblogstatic is the easiest software I've used. It helped me start my new blog in minutes. There was nothing to install. Blogging is a breeze in the editing area. The best part is that the editor looks exactly the same as my chosen theme. So there's really nothing to preview. You hit publish once you're happy with how your post looks. Everything is streamlined and you don't even notice you're using a blogging platform. It feels like a nicely designed editor, right out of the box.
CONSI can't really say there was anything missing. New features are constantly being added. I only wish that it stays simple as it is, without getting bloated like Ghost or dare I say, Wordpress.
Reason for choosing blogstatic
Again, easy to setup. Easy to use. No bells and whistles that I did not need.
Reasons for switching to blogstatic
Wordpress is slow, bloated, and it requires a ton of maintenance as the time goes by. All I needed was to write and not worry about my setup. blogstatic offers all that right out of the box.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your kind words. We're always looking for ways to improve blogstatic while trying to stay true to our premise.

CONSThe editor had a few glitches but it has been improved now with the new release
Reason for choosing blogstatic
Its in my hands everything. Great support and communication. I love to be a part of something new and great as blogstatic!

Blogstatic can help you build the habit of writing on your blog
Using Blogstatic has been great! I've only started using it recently, but I can already tell that it will help me build a habit of writing on my blog. Blogstatic makes it easy to just focus on writing. All I have to do is log in, write, and publish. I don't have to worry about hosting issues, upgrading software, or any of that. Just writing! It removes a lot of the roadblocks. It's the reason I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did.
PROSBlogstatic has all the essential features needed to successfully write and publish my blog. It's easy to use and pages load fast! I really like the simple and minimalistic design. In addition to blog posts, I can also create pages for my blog, like an About page and such. But the real benefit of using Blogstatic, imo, is that it can help me build up the habit of writing on my blog. Love the fact that I don't have to worry about installing software, or hosting the blog myself. And it's great that I can use a custom domain. It makes everything so much simpler! Another win for me is that Blogstatic is built and maintained by an indie maker. I like that I can communicate with the maker directly if I have a question or need support. And the simple yearly plan pricing with all features included is perfect.
CONSSome of the user interface still needs some polishing, but that's mostly a cosmetic issue. Blogstatic is still young, so it's understandable that some of the features are still being worked out and refined.
Vendor Response
Thank you, Mario. We love it that you're blogging with blogstatic. We're constantly working to make your experience even better.

Greatest onboarding and setup experience
I have used to setup individual pages for individuals that have close to none experience in blogging platforms.
PROSI like how easy and user-friendly the experience was to set up the blog. I have used it for testing purposes and ended up recommending to everyone that I knew that started a blog.
CONSDoes not have regular plugins that I am a fan of on WordPress and Joomla.

Ground Control & Blogstatic
Great product! I plan to use it again in the future for other projects.
PROSI like this product because it was very simple to set up and launch a published post quickly. I also was looking for a solution that worked well with my Carrd website.
CONSA little bit of back and forth with getting it running in a subfolder on my website but the customer support made that a non-issue as they were able to help me quickly accomplish what I was looking to do.

Excellent support for an exciting platform
[sensitive content hidden] is very responsive and went out of his way to make sure I was onboarded properly. We ran into some technical issues during the migration, and he was extremely helpful in trying to fix the issues. Val was also incredibly helpful in getting a feature request implemented into Blogstatic.
CONSWe ran into technical trouble during the migration, which delayed the process quite a bit. With that said, it wasn't necessarily because of Blogstatic itself—rather other (necessary) dependencies that threw a wrench into the works. I think the only downside to Blogstatic at this point is that showing/hiding the logo is not an option, but that might change in the future :).

Thank you for your great review, Hiram. I am glad we managed to help you out.

Blogtastic is Fantastic
Easy learning curve … comes with basic features and the ability to add your own files. Had some early issues getting it connected to a custom domain but that was more a cloudflare issue than a blogtastic issue and the folks at blogtastic walked me thru everything step by step and followed up daily without prompting
PROSThe ease of use and implementation and of course the price
CONSSo far nada … the platform is so easy to use and understand
Reason for choosing blogstatic
Best price Best options overall Amazing customer service
Reasons for switching to blogstatic

Blogs Made Easier
It helped me bring to life the simple interface, and the ideas and views that I envision on my blogsite. Thank you
PROSeverything is ready for you, the built in SEO, nothing to install, custom domains, you can create multiples at a time save and walk away , come back and everything is like you left it. There are multiple things I like about this site. I definitely recommend it.
CONSthere was nothing that I least liked, all in all it is awesome, but you benefit more for paying for the premium rather then the free version
