The fastest way to build a website
As an web design agency owner I have been looking to get into a tool like this for a while.
The deal is quite frankly incredible if the website generation and platform works as it could/is planned to, the potential is huge and I look forward to seeing it develop.
The team have already fixed many of the things that have been brought up in the other reviews and the templates are working well from my tests on the hero sections and content sections š„³ I imagine the options will be expanded on in the future as the platform grows.
Whilst a project such as this is almost never ending in terms of development and expanding it; they are doing well! The founder has stated that this is in early development and it has bugs, issues etc that are being worked on... that is why they are here offering such a good LTD! It is great to see that these issues are actively being fixed and updates made.
The owner is actively looking for feedback and the team appear willing to make the changes and act on the feedback given. Even in the "Stunning" website interface it is asking for feedback and during the onboarding they are trying to find out more about who is using the platform and why, this is great!
There are a lot of positives already and once the website generation is improved and the editor working as desired (I would love to see something like Bricks Builder or at least Elementor) so the websites can be edited as needed after the AI generation if the clients give specific requests; it is going to be incredible.
The additional feature of the blog post generator picked up on the website terms and keywords and suggested some appropriate topics, I will certainly explore this more soon.
I look forward to seeing where this product will go and how they will develop it in the near future.
Best of luck to the team and thank you for this early opportunity to get onboard with something big! This could be the gem of my Appsumo purchases that will change how my entire agency operates!
Gotta give the Stunning team some needed tacos here. Yes, the platform has bugs and is actively being developed. Stunning has a great selection blocks, a sleek UI, and most of the core functionality is on point. I wouldn't build robust client sites on the platform quite yet, but the foundation and vision is there.
The team is receptive to feedback, responsive, and working hard to better the platform. If they can deliver on what's currently on the roadmap and get the AI features smoothly rolled out, this will be an AppSumo gem. It's an incredible deal to get unlimited sites with a top tier plan - just pleeeeease execute!
Also, as a Lindo LTD customer - please learn from their miscues. They have a similar product and it has matured nicely. But they spurned lifetime customers by locking us out of features and forcing a steep monthly subscription to fully utilize agency features. When Stunning matures, please do right by your early adopters and you'll gain legion of raving fans.
After several days of testing. I think Stunning could be great, but it's not for today.
1 - Communication is a nightmare. On the AppSumo page, you see a āļø where it says Widget Premium! Well, don't take any notice, because for Tier 2, you'll be limited to 1 widget per site! it's not mentioned anywhere. I mentioned it in the questions, but the stunning team didn't make the change.
2 - You thought you had lots of premium widgets, but in the end you've only got one? No! not even! because for about 1 week, there have been no more Premium widgets with the pretty āNo section foundā message.
3 - Some bugs have been reported but haven't been corrected. These are display bugs, and it's a shame it's taking so long to fix these little things.
4 - There is a possibility of exporting the sites created, but I haven't found it.
Conclusion: It's a shame, stunning could be great if it wasn't spoiled by communication that isn't at all clear and by bugs that don't seem to bother.

First, I was genuinely excited and bought Tier 6 (Agency Plan 3). The concept is fantastic, and Stunning's mission really caught my attentionāthatās why I jumped in without hesitation. But unfortunately, the experience didnāt live up to expectations.
The issues started immediately after generating my basic design. Editing was a struggleāpages failed to load multiple times, edit boxes stayed open and wouldnāt close, and overall, the platform felt clunky and unresponsive. On top of that, the Agency Pro menu was inaccessible from the start, which added to my frustration. I wrote in the helpdesk chat, but no answers even a day later.
I truly believe this product has potential, but in its current state, itās simply not usable. Regrettably, I have asked for a full refund. Itās disappointing because this could have been a game-changer, but it feels like it was released before it was ready.
Hopefully my feedback helps you improve because Iād love to revisit this product if it becomes stable.
I just purchased this and it only used it to make a couple of websites. So far this product is exceeded my expectations, particularly when compared to some of the reviews previously posted. This product seems a little bit more simplified from a more robust builder like divi, at first that sounds like a bad thing but it actually makes it very easy for people with little to no experience, like myself, to customize a website. I was able to use the AI tool to create a website layout with many pages in under a minute including prompting and the actual creation of the website. I spent a little bit of time figuring out the platform, but it's very easy for a non-technical person to get up to speed pretty quickly. There are still a few functions I'm unsure about, and the documentation could be a little better, but overall this is an amazing product. As long as your needs are somewhat straightforward this is an incredibly powerful tool. I suspect there's a lot of functionality buried a little deeper that I haven't come across yet, particularly regarding all the embed functions I have yet to play with. Please note the website editor updates changes quickly and automatically without refreshing. Overall this tool is legitimately useful for a non technical user. I will update this review if my opinion changes over time.
Stunning.so is an absolute game-changer in the world of website building! As an AI-powered generative website builder, itās clear that the team behind this platform has a bold and impressive vision for the future. While itās not perfect yet (what groundbreaking tool is in its early stages?), the potential is undeniable.
The AI effortlessly generates sleek, modern designs that feel tailor-made for your needs. Itās incredibly intuitive, saving hours of time that would otherwise be spent on manual design and coding. The customization options are robust, allowing you to tweak and refine the AIās suggestions to match your unique style.
What really stands out is how Stunning.so empowers complete beginners, the platform makes professional-grade web design accessible to everyone. I canāt wait to see how this tool evolves over time. If this is just the beginning, the future of web design is going to be stunning indeed! Highly recommend giving it a try. I ran into some minor issues but support was super helpful. They are in the process of launching a new ai section builder. Once that is ready you can create whatever you want. I think it will take a couple of months before it is where they want to be, but this is already very impressive.
I want to give my personal feedback on negative responses I read on both AS as saw on Youtube. The formbuilder in the platform are limited, but with the embed option I was able to place my crm's webform directly in the landingpage. In minutes my webform was able to collect data.
It is true that you need to refresh the screen after deleting a section. That can be improved.
It is true that when you embed your own code you need to hit regenerate a couple of times till you have a text element that you can edit (video and iframe generated by ai can not be edited due to a bug)
But those are the only issue i came across during working a couple of hours in the platform.
What else is true is that was able to build a pretty slick looking page in a couple of hours, where the layout and text was done in minutes. Thank you Stunning.so for bringing this to Appsumo.
Iāll be brief. Iāve tried them all, and Iāve had many disappointments, especially with the developers of other products. I trust Stunning because of the team, their leadership, their proven track record of success, and most importantly, how much theyāve improved Stunning over time. Their Slack channel is amazing, and if you buy Stunning and join soon, you can help shape the product we love!
Itās a no-brainer , so please donāt miss out. Iāve already sold six websites that generate concurrent revenue with Stunning, and my clients love it because the team keeps delivering amazing new updates. Really, donāt miss this!
This is a great product that continues to be improved. If you are an agency, this is the way to go!
I purchased the highest tier 6 ($799) just a few days ago, based on the roadmap and AppSumo reviews. After initial checks and community interactions, I feel compelled to warn others:
- 10 features from the May 2024 roadmap remain undelivered after 8+ months.
- 8 features from the same roadmap were only shipped 10 days ago ā a 246-day delay!
- Last weekly update on their Frill.co roadmap: October 2024. No progress communication there since then.
- Threatened with a ban for asking about roadmap delays (details below) ā in my first week as a buyer!
While Iāve only used the product briefly, these systemic issues (lack of transparency, aggressive moderation) are a dealbreaker for me as an investor. Iāve already requested a refund.
I wonāt even start on the beta-level software, missing basic features like sitemap generation (hello, 2025!), or the fact that core developments are outsourced to third parties ā forcing users to pay monthly fees for "premium" plugins (only one is free per website; others cost extra). The unprofessional conduct and threats over legitimate questions are reason enough to abandon a SaaS that tramples its supporters.
To all buyers: Scrutinize the Frill roadmap (stunning.frill.co/roadmap/) ā many 'planned' features have stagnated since May 2024. If you accept Early Adopter risks but expect respect and updates, steer clear!
The question that gave me a banning threat:
Me: "when will this (feature) ship? its planned already since 6 May, 2024?
Its a deal or no deal for me, so i really need an ETA, please"
Founder: "Well then no deal. We don't work for you, and if you use such tone again you will be banned. The above feature is a suggestion that is planned, so If you come here treat us like that you will do yourself a favor and be banned, Be respectful, be nice, and we will help you. Otherwise, go to another product. Hope we clear on this. Thank you."
**UPDATE**
The founder claims Frill was never used for official roadmaps. However:
1. Frill was promoted as the central roadmap tool during my purchase.
2. No announcement was made about discontinuing Frill updates.
3. The lack of transparency (last update: Oct 2024) remains unresolved.
Additionally:
- **Frill Status Changes:** Despite claiming Frill hasnāt been used for 8 months, features were marked "shipped" just 11 days ago ā a clear contradiction.
- **V3 Launch Issues:** The founder claimed V2 was "last year," yet just days ago, I could only use 1 widget without paying extra for more. Section creation was also buggy and unreliable.
- **Toxic Communication:** Instead of addressing my concerns, the founder accused me of being "rude, bullying, or disrespectful." This pattern of dismissive responses is consistent. In another review, the founder wrote: *'I'll add your name to our list to make sure we keep our bad product as far away as possible from you.'* Such behavior is unprofessional and reveals a pattern of silencing critics rather than improving the product.
As for Common Ninja: Even if widgets were free (or better, just one), outsourcing core features is not what I paid $800 for.
So after entering, its asking to give a prompt and the moment you ask it to create a website, give an error "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). i will wait for the tech support to respond, otherwise i am going to return the product.
