Spread Simple - simple but great

Today "speed and simple" means the world. And SpreadSimple has both.

PROS

Spread Simple is indeed very simple to use and deploy. I was so amazed to learn that with the ready-made templates of Spread Simple, I can create a website with thousand of items, including photos, descriptions, everything by simply inputting / importing into a Google Sheet. It is also so simple to change / edit / remove / add items, simply by revising the spreadsheet. With Spread Simple, I can create so so many websites to my liking, you name it: e-commerce, books, movies listing, restaurant menus - the only limit is my imagination.

CONS

I would hope that Spread Simple has more and more templates. It would be greatly helpful for users who are busy (like me) to deploy it easier.

Does what it promises to do and does it great - launch websites from Google Sheets in a jiffy

- I have used SpreadSimple for an experimental side project of mine where it picks up from a spreadsheet I have and builds a website out of it using the fields mapped. Given it's an e-commerce site, SpreadSimple was the perfect choice for it as very few nocode tools can build sites from Google Sheets without having you pay a fortune before you can even validate your idea

PROS

- I can bring my own sheets rather than being confined to a predefined template - Mapping the fields on my sheet to the fields in the app - Live reload, update your sheet and it's updated on the site within seconds - Great support - I reached out well past midnight and yet, I got quick support from the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] himself - Roadmap - Spreadsimple has a great roadmap planned for making e-commerce sites from Google Sheets a reality and I'm excited about the roadmap

CONS

- Caching options: As it has to do live reload, the product does not offer any caching mechanism right now, which results in slower load times and lower scores in Pagespeed tests - Ecommerce focused: Spreadsimple is very e-commerce focused - what this means is the common use-case for building nocode sites, which is to build curated directories/lists, cannot be built with this product yet

Reason for choosing SpreadSimple

Pory - Too restrictive - I was limited to use only the templates they provided and in a specific way they worked. Sheet2Site - Too expensive for what it does - it costs ~$700/year just to get started and ~$1000/year for hosting any decent site. I can host 10 sites for that price with SpreadSimple and still have some change left over.

Vendor Response

Hello Lakshmi! Thank you for the feedback! Though our focus is on e-commerce, we are also working on adding new features that will make SpreadSimple more flexible and fit for many other needs besides creating an e-store. E.g. we already added the list-style card layout and a template for job boards with a form to collect user contributions.

1. Use Google Sheet to make daily work more efficient and easy to work together. You can easily create, edit and share spreadsheets, tables, etc., and you can easily collaborate with colleagues online and update data at any time.意外的泄露。2. What needs improvement is that when creating complex reports and charts, you need to learn more about the use of complex functions. In addition, a high degree of confidentiality and security of data needs to be maintained to avoid accidental disclosure.

PROS

Google Sheets is a powerful cloud-based spreadsheet tool that's easy to use and free. It presents data and graphs quickly and clearly in the same worksheet, which makes editing and sharing easier than traditional spreadsheets.

CONS

The disadvantage is that it requires a stable network connection, and sometimes it may take a long time to load. In addition, its function is relatively simple, suitable for processing a small amount of data.

Spreadsimple is... just that, simple

My experience with Spreadsimple is very positive, but I don't expect more than it can give. I know that Spreadsimple is for building very simple websites and getting to market fast. If I want to do a bigger project, I have to change platform. I also use it to enrich the contents of a website built in wordpress and I like it a lot.

PROS

Spreadsimple allows you to create web pages based on Google spreadsheets. The system is extremely simple and in a very short time you can have a website online. It is a very good alternative to build directories or repositories of any kind. Spreadsimple can also be a good option to create an e-commerce and assess if a product can fit in the market.

CONS

Spreadsimple is great, but it has the limitations of a website built on Google spreadsheets. For example, working on SEO has its limitations with this system. The current templates are limited, although I believe the team will continue to create new templates.

Best bang for your buck for a superfast way to create a website from Google Sheets without code

PROS

I used it to setup a very niche job board, just as a weekend project: - incredibly fast to setup (was up and running, incl custom domain in less than 1hr!) - price level is great for a hobby project of which I'm not sure how long it will last - AMAZING SUPPORT! Refat went way out of his way by helping me improve my Google sheet by adding some formulas that really powered up this whole site - very simple and straightforward, no frills

CONS

- I guess it could have some more customizations regarding the type of fields that are displayed, and how/where they are displayed, but for my use case it's not really crucial.

Reason for choosing SpreadSimple

Price & simplicity.

Vendor Response

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that we managed to help you with your project! Concerning the customization options, some of the things you mentioned can be done using custom code, and we are ready to help you with that if you'd like. And more features that will expand the customization options are coming soon! Thank you for your review!

Probably the easiest way to start your online store and directory page

Very good

PROS

SpreadSimple is such a great tool with a clean UI and great UX that allows you to build an e-commerce website, retail estate listing, car-for-sale listing, job listing, video listing, etc. just from your Google sheets. Initially, I couldn't believe it myself so I bought a code to give it a try! It is quite easy to use and it allows you to create a professional-looking website that you can use to list & sell your products and any listings that you wish to publish.

CONS

Better page loading performance - the websites are painfully slow to load! I'm based in Asia (Philippines) so it could be the distance to the SpreadSimple server that is causing this issue.

Turn Idea into Real Project Simple and Fast

It's been great. It had a few shortcomings and features that were a bit lacking. But the team is making progress to perfect those areas. I can't say they push updates blazingly fast, but they are steadily pushing updates.

PROS

It's great that its data is connected to a google spreadsheet. You can make your website very quickly with the data you already have.

CONS

Markdown is good, but I wish there was drag and drop type of builder. But then again, I can use other software to build the framework and embed spreadsimple to do the data part.

Easy and fast way to turn a Google Sheet into a website

With SpreadSimple I built a directory for our company’s internal use. The data included various information like images and links to external sources and SpreadSimple's card layout was a great solution to present everything in a more visual and aesthetic way. And it literally took no more than 20 minutes to set everything up so it appeared to be a great time-saver too.

PROS

The speed and simplicity of use are quite impressive. The setting up process is quick and easy, and if the data is already stored in Google Sheets, only some customization is required. Also, there are various options for sorting and filtering which is quite helpful in dealing with big amount of data. The Google Sheet as CMS is another advantage as it allows managing the data right in the spreadsheet using all the formatting or formulas necessary, so it saves lots of time and doesn't require any special knowledge. Also, this way all the team members with the right to access can manage the content as well.

CONS

Though all the templates look styled and appealing, all of them are driven to e-commerce which isn't my case exactly. It's not a deal-breaker as all the templates are easy to customize, but it would be nice to have some other options designed for directories and listings.

Vendor Response

Hello Anastasia! We are currently working on new templates that could work for more cases besides e-commerce. And we'll definitely take into consideration your suggestions. Thank you for your feedback!

A quick site builder for Google Sheets lovers !

I built a full delivery e business for a friend, in one hour including orders managements, whatsapp integration. Then i added Zapier and CRM integration in another 20 minutes. impressive

PROS

I like the fact that you do 80% of the job at the Google Sheets level (even CSS classes) (The other 20% are related to design/layout or some integrations and have to be done from Spreadsimple backoffice) they offer "quick templates" (Google Sheets templates + layout template) such as e commerce web site, listing web site, restaurant (menu) web site etc. Relying on Google Sheet offers endless possibilities, specially if you combine with automations and API calls to automatically fill your Sheets. (Sheet automatically updated via API calls >>> web site automatically updated !) Support team is very friendly, reactive and skilled. they helped me find a workaround in the SKU=0 case in E commerce web site. Spreadsimple offers Webhooks for automation It has a native integration with Zapier too

CONS

It lacks some feature for e commerce web sites such as discount codes, or filters (something like "only display product if sku < 1 ")

Great website using Google Sheets integration

Overall, it's been a great experience helping a client easily build their website an maintain it for about the cost of hosting a website. I'm glad I got in on the Product Hunt deal.

PROS

The software is simple to use. I used a Sushi sample template to create a website for a local Coffee shop. The integration with Google Sheets worked flawlessly. It's nice to see changes in Google Sheets shows up immediately on the website. The site will easily be able to maintained by my client with little to no help from me.

CONS

For the description portion of the page creator, it would be nice to be able to enlarge the font and perhaps change the color of the font. Also, currently, any orders for items come in through an email. I'm told they are working on a PayPal integration.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Richard! We sincerely appreciate your support! We hope PayPal integration will be here soon. Also, we added webhooks so now it's possible to automate the whole process and receive the orders in other web tools, e.g. Trello based CRM. Here's our help article on webhooks: https://help.spreadsimple.com/en/article/how-to-use-webhooks-for-automation-19majym/ And as we are planning to make card design more customizable, we registered your request for font size and color changes.

Simple, easy to use and quick ecommerce website builder

Fantastic! I was very impressed on the simplicity and easy of use to create a website in minutes, with super friendly support if you need help.

PROS

SpreadSimple is super easy to create a website in minutes. On my first try, I had a website up in minutes. I just had to go through all the settings to align with my business model (which have easy to follow instructions) and I was there with a website. The instructions and tutorials were professional made and easy to follow, so a beginner to creating websites would have no problem following and have a website they are proud of. They also have the google spreadsheet populated with an example so all you have to do is change the details with your business products and you done. I have had to contact support a few times for my billing and had a few questions, which I got a super quick friendly reply to solving all of them. Totally recommend SpreadSimple to anyone who needs an ecommerce site created quickly and easily with no hassle or frustrations. Pricing suits all budgets as inexpensive for all the features you receive, compared to other ecommerce website options available.

CONS

None so far. There was nothing I found working through the setup that I had a frustration with.

It's Very Simple

SpreadSimple is very good for testing ideas. I made a directory for independent publishers to showcase their books. Within Android apps and Progressive Web Apps, I'm using SpreadSimple embedded as a widget to list online events. I'm also using it to list images, production details, and video trailers for an upcoming video streaming service.

PROS

Simplicity: Prepare your Google Sheets data, choose a few options in the SpreadSimple panel and click publish. Need to change something? Just update your Google Sheet and the site updates instantly. If you have a more robust site, you can still embed SpreadSimple as a widget.

CONS

If you need more customizations to better handle SEO or styling, you will have to work a little bit with CSS and probably need other tools, like QuickBlog or other integrations.
