The easiest way to build a website

I'm impressed by Lindo AI! This platform makes website creation incredibly easy and fast. I launched a clean, professional site without needing any coding skills. The AI features save so much time, and the ability to customize and white-label the site is a massive bonus for solo entrepreneurs like me. It’s a complete toolkit—SEO, client billing, e-commerce—everything in one place. It's worth it!

Update: It is working better now and they recently made many updates and improvements to the website functions and features.
Support said they're working on fixing the confusion with the recent login changes.
For anyone else having issues, these were the instructions (redacted):
"I've checked, and you have access to your websites with email1@gmail.com as the Agency owner. You’ve set up an agency named xyz with this temporary URL: xyz.app.lindo.agency.

To access the websites under that brand, you need to log in with email1@gmail.com at your agency: xyz.app.lindo.agency, not at app.lindo.ai.
I understand it might be confusing; we’re working on making it clearer."

I still get annoyed that there is a pop-up asking at least once per day if I'm satisfied with lindo.ai, so hopefully they'll remove that or limit it to a feedback box instead of a pop-up.

DEJO MI MENSAJE EN ESPAÑOL EL QUE QUIERA LO TRADUCE, LES CUENTO MI EXPERIENCIA CON LINDO.

1. TENGO YA VARIOS SITIOS WEB Y INCLUSO EN MI AGENCIA LOS CONSIDERABAMOS UNA BUENA OPCION PARA SITIOS WEB BASICOS POCO COMPLEJOS.
2. EMPECE A TENER PROBLEMAS CON SU SERVICIO AL CLIENTE Y SUS CAMBIOS DE PLANES DE MANERA IRREGULAR
3. CONECTAR EL DOMINIO SIEMPRE ES UN PROBLEMA
4. SU SERVICIO AL CLIENTE ES PESIMO NO RESPONDEN RAPIDO Y SON COMO DOS PELMASOS RESPONDIENDO LOS MENSAJES SON LOS MISMOS DUEÑOS
5. TIENEN UN PROGRAMA DE EMBAJADORES O REFERIDOS COMO QUIERAS LLAMARLO QUE JAMAS RESPONDEN Y NUNCA PAGAN LAS COMISIONES ENRREDAN A LA GENTE CLARO YO ESTOY EN COLOMBIA Y ESTOS INFELICES EN ESTADOS UNIDOS ESTAFANDO GENTE
6. PEDI EL REEMBOLSO DE UNA DE LAS PAGINAS QUE COMPRE EJERCIENDO MI DERECHO AL RETACTO ME RESPONDEN QUE SUS POLITICAS DE REEMBOLSO NO APLICAN POR QUE ELLOS LO DECIDIERON NO DEVOLVER DINERO, PAGAMOS EL AÑO COMO 21O DOLARES Y TODAVIA DICEN QUE TENGO QUE HACER UN UPGRADE PARA PONER UN PUTO VIDEO DE FONDO O BACKGROUND.

NO SE COMPLIQUEN CON ESTA GENTE NO COMPREN ESTE SERVICIO SON UNOS ESTAFADORES

At the beginning of the Deeal launch, I thought it would be a great investment. However, after we secured the deal and passed the 60-day refund warranty, we discovered the true nature of Lindo.ai. It has one of the worst customer support services, and their platform is buggy. For instance, I built a website in French with the correct settings, but the final result was an Arabic website. I contacted customer support but received no positive feedback. I don't recommend using this tricky and buggy software; it's a waste of time and effort.

They lied about the features that would be included. At the time of the deal, they only had one Pro tier, and now it's the lowest. You can't even duplicate pages and other basic features without upgrading. It was advertised as a white-label website builder and agency tool, but now you need to pay for that. They thought they could get LTD buyers and turn them into MRR.

We invested because we thought the service would get better in the future.

It is a venture investment. If you are going to pursue only your own interests without distributing profits to investors, you should at least buy up the securities.

I absolutely hate writing reviews like this. So conflicted.
Caveat emptor to anyone purchasing an LTD from a founder READ the terms and conditions CLOSELY (this is in NO WAY AppSumo's fault!).

Yes, they are absolutely sticking to the terms of the LTD, and while have been (IMO) minimal updates to the builder, there is simply no way (as far as I can tell) to produce a product for a client and expect to bill them for it from the app. Every time I attempt to produce an invoice, I get an error stating the required permission is only available with the "Elite paid plan," Regardless of the tier level purchased through AppSumo. It's interesting, because it requires little for Lindo to pass along the Stripe token and authenticate to an existing Stripe account. They could arguably increase their take in the form of a commission or upcharge on the processing fees. Nevertheless it's not that big of a deal for me as I bill my client work through other means.

The naming conventions to get whitelabling to work are at best convoluted, requiring 8 DNS zone entries to get the whitelabling to work, which is fine except that communications email can only come from the app domain itself and not from a regular email channel I use to communicate with my clients.

The builder contains very little control over the page layout without having to regenerate the page through a gen AI query.

All of complaints with the T&Cs could be overlooked, if the product just didn't feel so immature.

SO as it stands, without 'upgrading' to some other paid plan, the purchased AS plan is only useful for little more than producing landing pages.

Too bad.

I only purchase this because the export feature is available and now this is completely removed in less than a year. If you search the Questions section, Lindo.Ai did promise export feature will be available for ALL AppSumo plan. Now they asking us to sign up a 140/month ELITE plan. Really hope AppSumo is doing something about this.

We share this same sentiment as so many others, which you can find in the Reviews AND Questions here.

It's super shady to know that you're going to be dangling a bunch of new carrots in front of those Sumolings who supported you here, and then tell them they can have it for the "small monthly fee" of $139.90/month!!! that's insane! And you advertise this "Exclusive Sumoling" pricing on the billing page as if it's some special deal for sumolings when it's just your standard discounted "Annual" pricing amount... which actually shows up cheaper on you Pricing page, at $139.50 😝

We were excited for the future but it seems that this is just another AppSumo sunk cost, as we will no longer be using this tool.

I really regret buying this. The software is basically good for landing pages but it lacks any sort of content management...even basic things like having a universal header or footer for pages. And now I find out after spending $500 some dollars on Tier 5 you want me to pay another $95/month (which is going to go up in a few weeks) just to EXPORT and backup my websites? When some of your current functionality doesn't even work that well? No, no, no. Whoever came up with this idea needs to be fired.

I got it, you kept your pro plan the same.

The problem here is some essential tools (downloading websites) are locked behind a paywall. I think the issue here is just that, if a client wants to change agency, why should i pay an extra to let him do that? it is literally consumers right in lots of country to have the ability to change provider. I mean, me, the guy who made the website, should pay if my client wants to migrate?

I'll take the elite plan anyway, as they still mantained their promises. It's a great site builder (they managed to add lots of features after months). For everyone that is reviewing this product as scam, it is not. They gave you what they said.

Yeah, i am also pissed that i have to change to a "subscription based" plan as an early adopter (of tier 5, so you already got 400/500$ from me), and i agree that 50% discount is not the freshest discount for a guy that believed in you.

I may be more pissed for the paywalled essential features, as said, like website export and (you could argue, as i remember that they promise that) the billing for the client. My opinion here, from a consumer to a developer of the website, is trust. You broke that for lots of customers. And i get it, you can't keep up with "one-time" costs with something like that. But cmon, you clearly know where is the problem with this move, the trust of your customer.

Subscription based is a disease that the whole world has, and appsumo *should* be the place to avoid that.

I hope they move some essential feature to the pro back, then i'll change for the better this review.

I want to start by saying how amazing the new Elite Plan is! I’m thrilled that this company is taking steps to secure funding through this initiative, which will benefit everyone who supports them. Their commitment to innovation and quality is evident, and it’s a direction that I believe will lead to a sustainable future.

To clarify and provide firsthand insight into the situation regarding the bad reviews, I found some important information on the company's website that I believe will be helpful for everyone. It clearly states that the Pro Plan has not changed, and their commitment to continuous improvement remains strong.

Here’s what they say:

1. The Pro Plan Remains Unchanged
There has been a misconception that the Pro Plan name has changed or been altered. Let us be clear: the Pro Plan is still the Pro Plan. There has been no name change or loss of features. To reference the deal terms clearly: "All future Pro Plan updates" have been honored and continue to be delivered. We've rolled out over 100 updates that directly improve the Pro Plan, including:

40+ new blocks for website customization
Advanced AI features for easier site-building
New integration options
Expanded website settings and more

2. Commitment to Continuous Improvement
The deal also specified that users would receive "All future Pro Plan updates," and we have honored that promise consistently. This commitment is not only part of our core value but is clearly stated in the original deal you agreed to: "If the plan name changes, the deal will be mapped to the new Plan name with all accompanying updates."

However, to be clear, the Pro Plan name has not changed, and it retains all its original features and updates. This mapping clause was included for transparency, ensuring that you would not lose any benefits if we ever renamed or restructured plans in the future.

We have also introduced additional plans, like the Elite Plan, which is geared toward agencies and users requiring extra features. But upgrading is entirely optional, and the Pro Plan remains available to all early adopters with its original terms intact.

Conclusion: A Bright Future Ahead
As someone who truly appreciates what this company offers, I wholeheartedly support their journey toward sustainability and growth. The introduction of an Elite Plan reflects their understanding of user needs and their commitment to catering to a diverse audience. I believe this approach will not only help them secure necessary funding but also pave the way for further innovation and improvement.

While it's natural for users to express their concerns, I encourage everyone to consider the positive strides this company is making. I’m excited for what's to come and will continue to support them wholeheartedly!
