Easy to use tool for spinning up great looking websites with dashboards
What do you like best?
Most of all, creating web pages that enables users to experience maps, data, rich media super quickly and the ability to continuously improve the page after launch.
In addition to that, the in-page editor is very easy to use, and well-built. I've never experienced an error or bug of any kind while editing a Hub site. The layout components are great and make it really easy to create web pages with dynamic grids and content, embedded videos, embedded social feeds, images. The custom HTML editor is also very nice. The fact that Hub sites include Bootstrap CSS is also great because it's a tool that most developers know, and expands the potential of custom interfaces. Also, the entire product is very well-documented.
What do you dislike?
- I wish I could also add custom javascript to the HTML tags inside the editor, or somewhere else.
- I wish the editor wouldn't strip out tabindex attributes from HTML tags.
- I wish the version of bootstrap included was v4
- I wish I had control over the parent divs outside of the Hub page content
