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!

PROS

As 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!

CONS

If 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.

PROS

Sparkle 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.

CONS

Nothing 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.

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.

PROS

There 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.

CONS

Honestly, 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.

PROS

I'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.

CONS

Unfortunately, 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.

PROS

I 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.

CONS

There 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.

My ultimate tool for effortless but professional web design

PROS

Sparkle website builder has been a game-changing software that allowed me to create stunning websites without any coding knowledge. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create responsive designs that look great on any device. With built-in SEO tools, customizable templates, and integration with popular services. I suggest Sparkle is a must-have tool for web designers and entrepreneurs.

CONS

While Sparkle is a powerful and user-friendly website builder, it is only available for macOS.

An Excellent Way to Build Attractive Websites

The end-to-end experience is very good: great on-boarding, very good experience using the product day-to-day, and excellent support directly from the developers, who really know their stuff. This experience means that I can confidently teach Sparkle skills to others (as and E2ECT.com tutor) — a very high recommendation for a product like this!

PROS

Well-designed tools for pixel-perfect page layout and fine typographic design

CONS

Some listing and blogging features that would otherwise be handled by a server-side database are missing but it is mostly easy to adapt to these.

Reason for choosing Sparkle

Again: I couldn't find any purportedly competitive product that could compete.

Reasons for switching to Sparkle

Sparkle is far superior to these earlier approaches!

Recht einfach zur strahlenden responsiven Website

Sparkle richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Amateur:innen als auch an Profis. Den Gestaltungsentwurf meines UX-Designers konnte ich als fortgeschrittener Amateur selbständig umsetzen, wobei es sicher hilft, eine Affinität zur und Übung in der Bedienung sinnvoll ergänzender Software wie Sketch und Affinity Photo zu haben.

PROS

Meine neue, responsive Website wollte ich selber bauen können, auch Veränderungen in Text und Gestaltung autonom vornehmen, zudem die Administration. Sparkle enthält schon heute viele Features, mit denen ich meine künftig Website erweitern kann. Mit Sparkle können Webseitenideen sehr schnell publikationsreif umgesetzt werden. Hier hilft das Import-Plugin von Sketch. Der Support durch die Sparkle-Community online sowie durch [sensibler Inhalt ausgeblendet] ist sehr gut und schnell.

CONS

Natürlich muss man die Logik und die Prozesse von Sparkle erst verstehen, wenn man sich an das erste Projekt macht. Die Komplexität und die Anforderungen an Detailgenauigkeit, bestimmte Features umzusetzen, sind leicht zu unterschätzen, wenn man sich nicht hauptberuflich mit Websites befasst.

Reasons for switching to Sparkle

Adobe bietet nur noch Abo-Modelle an. Zudem ist Sparkle deutlich intuitiver und einfacher zu bedienen.

Fabuleux !

Travailler au quotidien avec Sparkle est un vrai plaisir ! Développer des sites internet n'est plus un casse-tête désormais. Beaucoup plus simple et intuitif que la concurrence, il ne faut que quelques jours pour créer un site de zéro, beau et qualitatif. En cas de problème, la communauté ou le support de Sparkle sont toujours là pour nous aider rapidement, et ça c'est chouette !

PROS

Sparkle excelle par sa simplicité et son efficacité. Les sites prennent forme avec de simples glissés/déposés et sont bien développés (codés), ce qui permet une navigation très rapide et fluide pour les visiteurs. Un support rapide et à l'écoute. Intégration facile de e-commerce ou autres services tiers.

CONS

Beste Webdesign Software für den Mac

Sparkle hat es mir erlaubt, unser Webdesign neben unserer eigentlichen Arbeit selber zu gestalten, ohne dafür professionell ausgebildet worden zu sein. Dadurch konnten wir unsere Ideen und Vorstellungen unmittelbar umsetzen, ohne Zeit und Geld darin zu investieren, all dies externen Designern verständlich zu machen.

PROS

Sparkle ist mit Liebe, Begeisterung, Wissen und einer Vision entstanden. Das Besondere an Sparkle ist seine Einfachheit in der Anwendung und seine gleichzeitige Fülle an kreativen Möglichkeiten. Sparkle versorgt mich - natürlich im Bereich des Webdesigns - mit den für mich elementarsten Werten: Freiheit und Liebe.

CONS

Der Nachteil an Sparkle ist einer jener Nachteile, die sich aus einer großen Stärke zwangsläufig ergeben, nämlich die fehlende automatische Anpassung der unterschiedlichen Breakpoints an ein erstelltes Design. In gewisser Weise der Preis der kreativen Freiheit, die Sparkle erlaubt.

Reason for choosing Sparkle

I love everything about Sparkle except the name! (no big deal)

Sparkle saved me when my last website design program went bankrupt. This is the fourth time I've rebuilt my website from scratch and it was by far the easiest one to use.

PROS

I like how I can construct web pages quickly and easily and see how they will look to viewers.

CONS

When I search on information about Sparkle I get lots of pages about nail polish and stuff I am not looking for. I wish they'd make a new name, even Sparkle4 or something like that…just to make searches easier.But it isn't a big deal, really. I love the program and will continue using it til I'm dead.
