Hey @Chris_Melville - Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I will definitely bring this into the next product meeting.
But let me respond to a few points you are raising here in advance:
We do claim to be an “all-in-one” web design solution. A website builder is a tool that allows you to build a website. That means you have everything at hand to build a website, including the whole process of setting everything up until the point you publish the website.
This includes a project management to scale your work and take care of your client, design a website, duplicate and improve processes and finish “the job” easily. All these features are set up natively in Sitejet. And we intend to improve these features day by day - of course with your valuable feedback!
However, tools for e-mail marketing, e-commerce, booking options, billing options and so many more are not the status quo when “building a website”, rather than an addition and a specification of what else is or could be on a website. See it as an “integration”.
This still means for us that we are well aware of all the possibilities that could be added to a website.
This also means that we are always considering of adding new features aside from building a website. And we do intend to widen our product. Of course!
Because of that, we do appreciate the great feedback we are always getting from our community. Especially e-commerce products and e-mail marketing are a great example.
There are so many impressive companies on the market that do a really great job in offering these services already. In some cases, it might make much more sense to offer an easy way to integrate and/or partner up instead of completely rebuild an own tool. This could be one way. But, that does not mean that we are not considering our own native integration.
I hope this helps to classify.
Let me know your thoughts, if you like!
