The Sparkle web design app makes it easy for creative visual thinkers to create!
This app let's me design while relying on [sensitive content hidden] and his programming team to optimize, code and publish - all behind the scenes. Not to mention providing amazing customer service, like updated software implementations for new California and GDPR Privacy Policy compliance, or optimized SEO solutions, as well as personally answering user questions!
PROSAs a designer, (and Adobe Creative Suite Instructor) I was glad to forget just about everything I knew about HTML and CSS. The Sparkle Web Design App and its familiar UI makes it easy for creative visual thinkers to create. If you've ever designed using Apple's Pages or Keynote, Sparkle Web Design App is for you!
CONSIf I had a PC, I'd probably be sad this app is only available for Macs.

Sparkle makes light of web design and build
Sparkle is our go to design and build tool for our websites. It has never let us down and the support from the Sparkle team is absolutely amazing.
PROSSparkle is very easy o use and has a simple interface. The design elements are obvious and can be combined to create very sophisticated websites. Sparkle caters for all types of device and so you can create fully responsive sites.
CONSNothing much! Sparkle does everything I need it to and does it well.
Reason for choosing Sparkle
Sparkle was much easier to use and produces tight rapid loading websites without the massive overheads of using tools like Wordpress.
Reasons for switching to Sparkle
Support for Freeway Pro ceased.

Wow, this program is flexible and amazingly simple to learn
I have been just stunned with how well so many of the features work, including importing of webpages and how they graphically layout I found it’s really just a good start to create a new page but what a template.
PROSThere are many features built in that are options that have to be plugged into other similar programs. The plantation of these features was so easy my biggest problem was realizing it was just that easy.
CONSHonestly, at this time, I haven’t found anything. I don’t like about the program. I’m going to work with an intensively and will follow up if I can with further info. But for what the program does and is meant to do, it’s pretty nifty. I would like to see possibly more templates or someway to have a template gallery and user templates.
Reason for choosing Sparkle
I reviewed numerous products looking at it from different point of view. Also looking at it through the App Store and researching on the web. Sparkle rose up to be an interesting product. Space I still standby. The most difficult part was realizing that is not that difficult I was trying to make some things more complex and they should’ve been.

Amazing easy-to-use web builder for anyone, could be better for professional use
Overall, Sparkle is outstanding for individuals who need simple yet effective websites that don't require too much work on it. It's the perfect tool for the average user and for some professionals. It only lacks a few more modern features to make it the go-to product for every web designer.
PROSI've been using Sparkle for a very long time and I really love the simplicity of starting from a template or from scratch and ending up with a fully functioning website in less than one day. Even though I'm a professional designer, I find Sparkle a great tool for anyone with a little bit of good taste and patience.
CONSUnfortunately, since I'm a professional designer, I find it very limiting today for my job. Tools like Framer or Webflow provide much more flexibility and adaptability, making them better tools for design teams. I really wish Sparkle would start working in that direction at the very least as a Pro option for those users who might need it. A product that combines the design powers of Framer with the usability of Sparkle would be a total powerhouse. Also, a native app for iPad Pro would be a game changer, but apparently, developers don't want to put their efforts into it which makes me really sad.

Not just Mac website builder and designer, but best overall for anyone!
Excellent! Sparkle is easy to set up and use, and the customer service is excellent as well. Highly recommend.
PROSI have no background with website design and building, but wanted to be in control of my companyʻs website. Sparkle provides easy-to-use tools but also professional level quality. I also like the pricing flexibility with features. I quickly saw the pro version was worth the price. Overall, great and with their newer updates it runs much faster as well which is critical for our website.
CONSThere are a few feature request I would like to see come through and more tutorials on how to create certain tools, buttons, special things in Sparkle.
Reason for choosing Sparkle
It has a much better setup and overall design in the app to use. You are not bombarded with downloading plug after plugin. Sparkle is much more secure and faster, and that is essential for websites, especially for a business.
Reasons for switching to Sparkle
I wanted the build the website offline since I am on the go a lot and may not have online access. I also wanted more tools and control and felt limited in the other builders.
