What do you like best about Doodlekit?

Easy to use, professional templates, excellent results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

Several times over the past few years the site has become unavailable. I was depending on my search hits for gig leads, but I can't access my own page.

There was a FB page for the company and last year it filled up with complaints from paying customers who were losing business. It appears to have been deleted.

If anyone has a referral to a similar product that is actually supported by its developer, kindly advise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodlekit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to have a very nice-looking, professional website. Now not so much. Can't access the home page for Doodlekit, can't log in. Can't contact CS department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

Doodlekit.com is the worst experience I've had yet when it comes to domain/ web hosting services.

I decided to try out their site builder and was pleased with the easy and convenient set up. I then decided to upgrade to premium service and that is where my problem began. First off there is no phone number so you must email them and wait for a response if you get one at all.

After I submitted my payment, the confirmation message said that it could take up to 24 hours for my domain and upgrade to be complete. 4 days later my domain name was still available to the public (unregistered) and no upgrade took place on my account and I was still limited to the free account capabilities. I sent 2 emails to customer support and did not receive any response. I'm glad I paid with my paypal card because I'm certain that they wouldn't refund me anytime soon since I couldn't even get the services that I paid for.

I opened a Paypal case for a full refund and purchased better service elsewhere. If you don't mind waiting days/ weeks for customer support to respond and if you're in no hurry to receive services that you've paid for then doodlekit may be right for you.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

A simple use that makes this site a necessity among web designers is the ease of use. The well-structured Doodlekit editor does not require additional skills and knowledge to understand and use it. One of the benefits of choosing their free plan offers its basic features like website hosting, templates, blogs, photo galleries, 1000 GB bandwidth, and 100 MB storage space without any payment from the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

many users want to customize our website according to our needs and, in this case, Doodlekit is not the best option, but you can't ask for more for what it costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodlekit:

For us beginners who are looking for a free and easy-to-use site, then Doodlekit is the best option for us, although you always have an option in your hands because you can initially register for the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodlekit solving and how is that benefiting you?

This website builder allows users with little or no computer experience like me to create a website with ease. It's incredible that I don't have to download or install any software to create a website and the fact that we can log in from any computer with an Internet connection to make changes. The blog and forum option has doubled our daily visits to our webpage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

DoodleKit is a good web builder for those who run small businesses and do not know how to program. Features like SEO, ecommerce functionality, blog integration, beautiful themes, and mobile optimization allow you to create a basic but functional website. Doodlekit offers an option to use the free resources of the free plan to test website development without any initial investment. This option becomes quite useful for artists, individuals, and small business owners who do not have a large budget for website design and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

Lack of customer support options: Doodlekit does not provide 24-hour customer support through support tickets or phone calls. You have to send your inquiries and complaints via email to their customer service email address, which is quite time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodlekit:

In general, DoodleKit has a lot to improve when it comes to creating a business website – the appearance and handling are strange and need more improvements. Ultimately, a web builder is only worthwhile if it allows people who are not necessarily skilled in using technology to create an online presence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

I really enjoy the variety of ways which you can personalize your website and for the multitude of reasons you can set your site up for (non-profit, business, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

If I hadn't had experience with other website builders such as Weebly or WordPress, I think it is a bit of a learning curve for new-to-the-scene users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodlekit:

I would recommend spending extra time practicing using the site before publishing. Also definitely operate in Internet Explorer/Firefox because when we tried to sign up initially on Google Chrome, it wouldn't allow us to create a profile. Also, make sure you have a blueprint idea of what you'd like your site to feature - photos and text especially as this will save a lot of time when you start building the perfectly personalized website you're going for.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

After being offered a presenter opportunity that I wasn't expecting, I needed to create a website and fast. I did not want to use my general business site, and stumbled across DoodleKit after searching for an inexpensive and quick site builder. This review is about their free (basic) plan, and that is the one that I have used. My favorite thing about this site is that it is VERY easy to use, probably the easiest of any site builder I have tried. I paid someone to create my business site, and knew I did not want to do that for the (short term) purpose of my new website. There are a TON of website templates to choose from, way too many for my liking, and I was happy to narrow them down to what I was looking for by searching the keywords "zen" and "minimal". You can customize pretty much anything, and easily add your social media sites, business hours, slidesshow/photos/ and blog. Also, the websites look great on mobile devices! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

The templates are not super fancy, but they do the job. This is not a dislike, just more of an observation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodlekit solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a small business (one person!) like mine , Doodlekit is exactly what I need. I am not looking to spend a ton of money, and don't need fancy features. You can quickly and simply get your site up and running using this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

First of all, this is an exciting new platform to me & the things you can do are endless. I have a personal account as well as a business account. It allows for you to fully customize your blog & forum discussions. If you are using it for professional reasons you can set up links so they may purchase directly from you. Easy peasy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

I was a little flabbergasted when I first started working with the program, I felt extremely overwhelmed with the possibilities! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodlekit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to broadcast & have an interactive site for our consumers to meet. It is user friendly and super customization. We use it for several different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Doodlekit?

Several of our chapters built their websites with Doodlekit through a promotional arrangement with Grassroots.org. They commented that it was easy to do (there wasn't a one of them who had html experience of ANY kind). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodlekit?

I heard no complaints in truth. Probably the only "dislike" was the fact that the relationship with Grassroots.org ended and many of our newer chapters are now devoting time and energy to Facebook instead of an actual website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodlekit:

Although it's been a while since we were involved with Doodlekit, my check of the website leads me to believe that they are much the same as they were when our first chapters began to use it. That being the case, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodlekit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communication with the outside world. Small volunteer organizations need a way to let people know how to become involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
