Below are some of the frustrations I had with the Tithely Website Tool. I have abandoned Tithely website builder after more than a week of trying, and transitioned to another platform in a couple of days.
To be clear, I am not looking for coaching from support people as to how to make things work (I've moved on) but I am willing to clarify the problems I encountered with a developer.
- The menu doesn't render properly on some Androids with Chrome as the browser. The menu is so tiny it's unusable.
- The text/picture beside format renders too wide for mobile. I also couldn't find any Tithely build websites that use that format...
- I found the approach to fonts very frustrating. It would be much simpler to use traditional approaches to fonts and sizes
- I found the Menu builder confusing, and ended up several times with page menus that I couldn't get rid of. I much prefer an approach that automatically builds the menu alongside the pages. Ie when you add a page you say where it s/b in the menu structure at the same time.
- I found the automated staff and event pages frustrating to use.
Above the technology, I found your marketing misleading
- This page is misleading: https://get.tithe.ly/product/church-website-builder
- Many of the church's websites there are not built with Tithely!
- the 4.7 star rating is for Tithely as a whole and not the website builder
I also feel that your support people were not familiar enough with the website builder to support it properly, and the website builder should probably have a dedicated support group who know the product better.
