Great Service

How much is easier it is to navigate through our website.

PROS

It's very easy to use, i use it daily. I update our website all the time and its been one of the easiest website builder i have ever used.

CONS

I don't really have anything negative to say about it. Bentobox took over our website a year ago and have helped along the way when i needed it.

Reason for choosing BentoBox

They talked to us and asked what we wanted in a website and created exactly what we wanted our website to look like.

Great if you know what you need and aren't tech-savvy

In short: If you or someone on your team is experienced with building and managing websites, then the extra cost of BentoBox isn't worth it. If you don't have deep technical skills, BentoBox will essentially fill that gap for you with their customer support, and is worth looking more into. Some of the best customer service I've experienced, and certainly the best support for a website builder. You can get a website built and managed for cheaper with another builder like WordPress or Squarespace - but you won't have nearly the support system BentoBox has. Coming from a deep background of building websites, I found the lack of flexibility and customization hindering. But, again, if you don't have deep tech experience on your team, lack of flexibility is a very good thing: less opportunity to mess it up. An important note: BentoBox comes with an array of built-in, restaurant-focused tools in their sites. You can manage and monitor your Yelp profiles, process new leads, start gift cards, etc. BentoBox is ideal for someone who does not have systems in place for managing these. If you already have a CRM, already have a gift card processor, event/reservation management system, etc., you'll end up paying a larger monthly cost for unused tools. I strongly recommend cross-referencing the tools you already have with the tools baked into BentoBox, and gauging the duplicates.

PROS

BentoBox is just as simple to use as most other drag-n-drop website builders. The Google Tag Manager, Analytics, and other built-in software integrations are very useful. What really stands out is the support - all three years I've been using BentoBox for 3 websites, their customer service answers promptly, thoroughly, and personably.

CONS

This isn't a con to everyone: you are very limited in the advanced changes you can make to your site. You can't access the source code yourself, there's no marketplace of plug-ins, and if you don't see the option in the visual editor, you likely can't do it. But if you're non-technical, don't care to be technical, and just want a darn website up, this is not a con because of the topnotch support. Tell them what you want, and they'll work it up until you're happy.

BentoBox Review

It is a great product, very easy to use and I would say the only thing to be warned about is that if you want a lot of customisation on your website it would not necessarily be the right product.

PROS

I love how easy it is to use. Its Media Gallery with being able to centre the photos is very useful. Also the general layout and options for the website are a great starting point for any website. The feature that you can edit the HTML of the website as well on the templates is very useful for customisation.

CONS

There are just a few niggles such as I would love if you could crop photos after you have uploaded them not just during the uploading process. Also it would be useful to have a feature where you can preview what the website will look like on mobile devices not just on the desktop.

Vendor Response

We really appreciate the time you took to review our product, and your constructive feedback will be shared with our product marketing team.
